The Quinta is a well established holiday centre. As a result the facilities we offer have developed over the years and now we can provide a wide range of diverse activities and passtimes to keep you amused and help you get the most out of your precious holiday.

• Pool

What clothing optional holiday would be complete without one? The Quinta da Horta's (heated) pool is surrounded by a large sun bathing area, with patches of natural shade throughout the day, equipped with loungers and chairs.

• Sauna

Right next to the pool, beautiful positioned for a 'warmer' as the sun sets in the evening or for taking a plunge in the pool to cool down after a session in the sauna.

• Tennis Court

A full sized tennis court is available for you to use whatever your standard as a player and however you choose to dress. We'll even lend you the rackets and balls too!

• Gardens

All around the Quinta there are pretty, natural gardens to stroll around, shady corners under mature fig and almond trees, fish ponds, semi-tropical flowers and grassed lawns. Relax and lose yourself in your favourite corner!

• Boules

The classic French outdoor game. Just one of a range of games we have that you can borrow to while away a gentle hour or two.

• Kitchen

Fancy a cuppa? Want to cook a full meal for yourselves and the rest of the guests? There is a fully equipped communal kitchen available for our guests to use near the pool.

• Barbeque area

Just want to throw together a salad and pop some meat on the barbie? ... No problem, there is a dedicated barbeque area available for guests to use for lunch or supper or anytime in between, ordered in advance we can even do the shopping for you!

• Library

One of the great joys of having free time is the chance to read and having a no risk opportunity to discover something new or of rediscovering an old friend. At the Quinta we have a large collection of books built up over the years. There is no need to bring a pile of books with you, unless you want to! We offer a loving home to any books you care to contribute to future guests  If you are halfway through a book as you leave us... we lose all our books that way! 

There is also an extensive range of guides to the local area.

• TV

In the long dark evenings of the Portuguese winter we watch it. During the summer the TV is available for guests to watch big events or DVDs from our collection. Useful in the unlikely event of the weather being less than great. 

• Video and DVD Library

When the sun has become too much our small collection of DVDs offer something to while away an hour or so. The collection has grown over a number of years and from many sources so there is bound to be an old favourite lurking in the pile!

• Broadband

A computer, with broadband is available to all guests so you can check your email, surf the net, book outings and shop on line.

• Games

From cards to monopoly, boules to garden games in the great outdoors we have options to amuse and challenge you and new friends all summer long.

• Chickens

The Quinta da Horta (the "Market Garden") continues to maintain it's farming traditions of over 200 years of history of which the chickens are the most obvious and vocal part.

• Vegetable Gardens

The fruit and vegetable gardens not only reflect the history of the Quinta but contribute to the meals we serve here, help in the gardens is always welcomed!
