Quinta da Montanha

Hillside retreat with commanding views of Rui Vaz

Perched on a ridge in Rui Vaz with spectacular views, Quinta da Montanha is set in the heart of the mountains and is an excellent base for walking and exploring. Although fairly simple, the rooms are comfortable and some have balconies with views of the valley. Dinner is usually buffet style and there is also a buffet lunch on Sundays which is popular with locals. Most of the fruit and vegetables used in the restaurant are home grown in the terraced gardens and you can even lend a hand gardening if you have any spare time! There are several walks that you can do in the area but, to get the most out of them, we recommend using one of our local guides. It's also a great place for spotting birds of prey and kingfishers and star gazing. Evenings can be cool, so it's advisable to take a jumper or a fleece.There are currently 18 new rooms being built in the annex next door and these are due to be finished by the start of 2008.
