GUEST BOOK

"After sampling a home cooked meal at the Quinta, is it possible to have dinner at the property again tomorrow? We didn't plan it but we don't want to leave here - these women are the best cooks!!"

QUINTA DA BOAVISTA

 "We loved our stay and it was a great success! The pool was used a lot and was quite warm enough. The gym and tennis court were also enjoyed and some played golf at nearby courses while others surfed on the west coast. We had a brilliant meal cooked by a chef. Really appreciated the lovely house with its fantastic views and it proved to be the ideal placed for a family gathering."&...

QUINTA DAS LARANJEIRAS

"Everything was perfect, again! It was the second time we booked this property and we stayed in the main house (Liberal Wing) which was even nicer. We really liked the decor and breakfast was even better, but we already though it was perfect 3 years ago!"

DOURO VILLA II

"We had the most wonderful 2 weeks. The house has a great layout making it spacious and comfortable. The pool and lounge area on the roof are spectacular. Lounging poolside with the sound of waves in the distance was the best. Being able to walk to the beach in 10 minutes was also divine. Beach restaurants Sal & Sublime are very close. Overall a perfect stay. Thanks also to chef Sandra R...

The villa was modern with panorama windows overlooking the wine terraces and had all the amenities we could have wished for. We really appreciated the personal service by AB Villa Rentals  - they took good care of us!"

CASA DA BALEIA

"My family stayed at the BEACH VILLA for a glorious Autumn reunion. The villa is spectacular, well stocked, architecturally interesting and fun. The roof top pool with big views is lovely. A short walk to miles of sandy beach is particularly nice and the entire Comporta region is beautiful. Highly recommend  the house."

BEACH VILLA

"We had a lovely time. The villa has a great blend of style and simplicity, and the garden is very cleverly put together to give a feel of abundance and seclusion. Lina and her friend who cooked for us were lovely and the cleaners very smiley. Thanks to AB Villa Rentals and the Concierge team. We had a tough year and the villa and Comporta were a great tonic!"
