“Where to begin??? Just looking back on my stay warms my heart. Quinta do Brejo exceeded my expectations, not only is the property superb but the owners Antonia and Tomas, and his brother Francisco are absolute sweethearts. They were so kind and looked after me as if I was part of their family. My last evening was spent laughing, drinking wine and talking the night away in Portuguese with the three of them. It was an incredibly enriching experience getting to know them. The next morning, Francisco and I went horseback riding and he showed me the surrounding countryside. Located just outside Malveira/Mafra and super close to Lisbon. Each room is a little condo; it is ridiculously spacious and well decorated with a rustic touch which I absolutely loved. My room had multiple sofas, a kitchenette, a kettle, a microwave, toiletries, tv… Everything was impeccable and my bed was made every day!”

“The location was absolutely beautiful. Located a few minutes outside of Mafra on a lovely horse boarding and dressage facility, our stay at this picturesque place was great. And the hosts are very kind and welcoming.”

“It is a pleasant surprise when accommodations exceed expectations, when comfort, style and hospitality all come together to create surroundings that are both relaxing and inspiring at the same time. Antonia and Thomas's Quinta carries a hint of Portugal's grand past, while offering all the amenities of internet and quick access to Mafra and Lisbon. The quiet hill and pastures above the Quinta are a place to reflect before heading to the surf at Ericeira. It's a secret tip that if one was selfish would hold close. I am looking forward to my next visit.”

“Not applicable, as we did not ask for breakfast. But the grounds were beautiful, and the horses and dogs friendly. Staff and owners welcomed us like family. Just lovely.”

“Be aware that this place, and the hosts, are 100% about horses, horse riding and training. If that is what you are looking for, you will be absolutely delighted, especially with the historical connections. Interested in horses and horse/rider training? Don't miss. Our hosts were utterly charming and provided an excellent breakfast. With the proviso re horses, and bearing in mind that you will be driving not walking to surrounding restaurants, we highly recommend this establishment and would happily return.”

“Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful quiet peaceful setting. Attentive, accommodating, gracious hosts. We had our own little "apartment". Since the night was chilly, they made us a fire in the fireplace!”

“A super place for getting a different perspective on conventional dressage. Very friendly owners, and some lovely horses.”

“Antonia and Tomás, the owners, were absolutely fantastic! A lovely couple, super friendly with an amazing property! A five star experience. ”

“The friendly kind hosts and dogs The generous authentic breakfast The cozy rooms and architecture Peaceful surroundings The whole property was beautiful All the animals The hiking paths”

“Great place with nice people. Also magnificent past of classical riding school under tuition of Nuno Oliveira. His last Portugese student Tomás Noronha carries on the tradition and keeps the legacy alive, which is very valueable. Lovely appartments with fireplace in the living room and Tomás with Antonia were keeping it warm for each evening. Very comfortable bedrooms.”
