United KingdomWir haben diese Unterkunft ursprünglich gebucht, weil wir den Markt in Barcelos besuchen wollten. Das wahre Highlight der Region ist dieses ehemalige Konvent selbst. Das Gebäude und der Garten sind wie eine britische Insel in Portugal urgemütlich und romantisch. Dazu kommt der wunderschön gelegene Pool weiter oben mitten im Park. Ein kleines Paradies, ein liebevoll gepflegtes Schmuckstück, das für sich eine Reise wert ist.
GermanyA Quinta do Convento da Franqueira é um excelente destino para férias tranquilas !! O pequeno-almoço foi sempre servido com muita dedicação e empenho pelos donos. Excelente variedade de opções em relação à comida no pequeno-almoço. A localização é excelente para quem gosta de natureza, tranquilidade e sossego. Se tiver viatura própria é o ideal. No meu caso cheguei à estação de Barcelos e acedi à Quinta através de táxi, com preços bastante atractivos.Aconselho vivamente esta Quinta e tenciono lá voltar outra vez.

FranceEl hotel en sí es precioso, las habitaciones también, el dueño es muy amable y los desayunos muy ricos.
SpainLa struttura è bella ed arredata con gusto squisito tutto in stile inglese come i proprietari che sono a loro volta molto gentili e disponibili a dare informazioni sui dintorni. In camera abbiamo trovato rose fresche ad accoglierci che sono sbocciate alla nostra partenza. Letti molto comodi, colazione ottima con spremuta e frutta fresca e marmellate sempre varie. Ampia piscina immersa nel verde. Abbiamo dormito fino a tardi, nella quiete della campagna.
ItalyEl desayuno tenía una presentación impecable y los productos eran de primera calidad, no lo habíamos imaginado con esa creación inglesa... Las habitaciones, junto a la tranquilidad del convento, y la atención de Pierce (?) fueron inigualables.
