We said we would keep you up to date with our new plans but as ever things move slowly here in Portugal but progress is being made.......watch this Space!

Ana and I were not able to buy the Quinta as everything was illegal, the property, business etc. Portugal is changing and whereas in the past you could break all the rules without worry now it is too much of a risk. So the Quinta is dead........

BUT the good news is that we have future plans for a naturist retreat and will let you know as soon as we can.

Dear Friends, Ana and I have been very bussy looking after the guests here at the Quinta since Ted and Val had to return to the UK, please accept our appologies for not posting here sooner. Well here we are approaching the end of September and it is still hot and Sunny with the sea water hotter than Ana can remember for years. The Quinta will be closeing for the season at the end of October and we still have a lot of space, strange because in many respects it's the best time to visit. The temperatures are a little cooler , mid to high 20's the sea is fantastically warm and of course it is quieter here now with the kids back at school and............... flights are cheap! so why not grab a bit of last minute tan before it starts to fade and book a break here at the Quinta.............we'd be very glade to meet you. For special offers contact Chris and Ana direct at [email protected]...... but be quick :-))

We are leaving The Quinta in the capable hands of our friends, Chris and Ana, until the end of this season. Chris has been working alongside us for the last 12 months so he fully understands the philosophy of The Quinta. Chris has been performing magic on the kitchen garden and citrus orchards to en...

Loved by our volunteers to .. thank you Katherine and Ian

There's not much we can say about Ted and the Quinta that hasn't already been said, but certainly can thank Ted and Hun for everything. They have created an peaceful place of relaxation and we were glad to have spent time there. Ted is both an incredible host and person who we enjoyed chatting with (and of course the delicious dinners, Ted's famous chili to be specific). Hun was always kind and helpful and we wish could have had more time to get to know her better.

We cannot recommend this place highly enough. If anyone has the chance to stay, it will definitely be worth the time. We can say that, without a doubt, the Quinta is one of the best memories from our trip as well as our best workaway experience.
