EAT & DRINK – Our Personal Recommendations
Portugal is famous for its love of good food and wine—one of the main reasons we decided to live here! We’re excited to share some of our favorite local restaurants with you—places we’ve personally tried and can wholeheartedly recommend.

Guest Access
The apartment and the veranda are completely private for guests. The other facilities are shared. The owners/managers live on the property but in a separate area.

Additional Important Information
Quinta da Vala is still under development. This means we are continuously working to improve the apartments, the property, and future amenities. Of course, we always take our guests’ stay and comfort into consideration. We live here ourselves as a family on the farm: Álvaro and Iris (the owners), our two sons, ages 8 and 11, and our dog Max. Max roams freely on the property.
