Our cosy holiday cottage ´The Donkey House´ is situated in a peaceful forested valley 20 kms north of the central Portuguese town of Tomar. The surrounding area is perfect for walking, cycling, horse riding. Located at our 7 acre Quinta we also have a small equestrian centre on our farm, where visitors are able to ride Portuguese Lusitano horses, either as a separate activity during their holiday, or as an organised riding holiday. Lessons and hacks in the surrounding lanes and beautiful forests can be arranged for beginners upwards. ´The Donkey House´ is a self catering cottage which sleeps 2-3 people and has its own private garden.

This room used to be where the previous owners made their wine and stored it in huge barrels. We still call it ´The Adega´, but it now has a double bed, and a single bed, with large double glass doors that open out onto a veranda. This can be accessed from the outside so that anyone staying in the Adega, can park at the side of the house and enter from the garden veranda doors.

It is possible to rent this room in addition to The Donkey House, in which case catering is all done in the cottage.
