Guest reviews for Quinta do Galgo

Evelyn - 02/07/2024 11:31:22

"Carlos was very welcoming and a helpful host.The apartment was clean and there was enough cooking utensils in the kitchen to make a short stay comfortable. The pool was really lovely and the gardens are beautiful. We would come back."

"My bed was very hard. Not at all comfortable. Luckily I sleep on most mattress types, but someone else may have trouble. There was only one coffee pod supplied, but we took our own as well. No milk, only some sugar."

"Lovely quiet comfortable house in the middle of nowhere. Kitchen was adequately stocked so we were able to cook. Lovely to have a wood burner especially as so cold and wet outside."

"Poor wifi reception in the house."

"A very peaceful and quiet place away from the crowds.We enjoyed the stay in the stone house, the garden and the playroom."

"Aucun."

"the hostess was extremely friendly and helpful - she gave us suggestions of places for meals and even gave us loads of fresh eggs for our breakfast and some port to taste. One of us even enjoyed a quick dip in the pool before leaving."

"the corridor ceilings were not high enough for very tall people."

"it was cosy. everything in our room worked… shower was great! there was a playground area for kids, pool, lots of trees and a hens coop on the edge of the grounds. The host went over and beyond to orientate us on arrival and make us comfortable. He was friendly, helpful and helped us figure out logistics."

"it was located further from the town than I expected. it is ideal for a get away from the hustle of city life with the family. You do however need to either hire a car to get around or use taxis that are familiar with the area."

"Le calme et la sensation de securité avec la chienne Donna gardienne de cette Belle ferme bien entretenue endroit magnifique Plein d’animaux chienne, chats et chatons, chèvres, moutons... La gentillesse de l’hôte Carlos, toujours serviable et disponible Magnifique pôele à bois ancienne"

"Aucun."

"A Quinta é linda e tem muito potencial. Os animais são uma atração à parte: as crianças adoraram os gatos. A casa estava quentinha. Quero experimentar a piscina no verão!"

"A limpeza pode melhorar bastante. Usamos um T2 e um T3, e o T3 tinha a banheira suja e um tapete no espaço de refeição que não estava bem, nem é adequado para estar na cozinha. O salão de jogos precisa de aquecimento e de mais iluminação."

Frédéric - 04/11/2025 22:36:56

"Le calme, la propreté et l’originalité du lieu (une ferme) à proximité de Braga. La chaleur de l’accueil de Carlos et sa disponibilité."

"Un peu froid malgré le système de Clim réversible."

Urbano - 02/11/2025 09:44:42

"Eramos um grupo grande e adoramos a quinta. Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Sr. Carlos e pelo seu gato sempre pronto a espera de mimos. Conforto, limpeza e acolhimento. Somos muito gratos."

"Ao tomar banho ao mesmo tempo nao chega aos quartos a agua quente. Necessario reforçar a nivel de caldeiras. Isto na casa maior. Nas casas individuais correu tudo bem."

Daniela - 16/10/2025 16:22:46

"O espaço é muito pintoresco e acolhedor, com jardins, piscina e áreas comuns extremamente agradáveis e bem cuidadas. A casa oferece todas as comodidades necessárias para uma estadia confortável, e o facto de cada quarto ter o seu próprio WC é uma grande mais-valia. Os anfitriões foram sempre muito simpáticos e disponíveis, contribuindo para que a experiência fosse ainda mais agradável. Embora tenha sido apenas uma noite, proporcionou-nos um momento familiar de convívio muito divertido, com todo o conforto e conveniência que uma casa deste tipo pode oferecer. Queremos muito voltar!"

"A única nota menos positiva prende-se com a loiça e os utensílios de cozinha, que poderiam estar em maior quantidade e em melhor estado de conservação. Sentimos falta de alguns itens, mas nada que tenha comprometido a experiência, até porque é um pormenor que acreditamos que facilmente é resolvido."

Guest reviews

"Great location for being close to hiking trail, had heat and great shower with amazing water pressure comfy beds"

Christiane Sol Dourado

"We were on the Fishermen's trail and only stayed one night and did not really use all the amenities. It's a lovely place and I can highly recommend it. Lovely staff. They also gave us a room upgrade with an amazing view."

"Very nice place. Very quiet, in the middle of horses. It was so nice to sit on the veranda and soak in the atmosphere. The veranda is also very nicely sheltered from the wind."

"Beautiful property just outside of town. Secure parking for motorcycle travel. Town has plenty of public parking if you don't mind being 2km from center. Unit was vary nice with seperate sitting area, kitchen, outside veranda overlooking garden. Bedroom upstairs in loft area. Only thing I didn't understand was a sign at tge kitchen sink saying not to put water in glass. Maybe water is not safe to drink?"

"super nice hosts, who drove us into town. possibility of hanging out in the main building - with a reading corner and a bar - in the evening, which was very cozy. comfortable bed, hot showers, good breakfast."

"Location, infrastructure, facilities, historical building and a lot of rare antique things, staff."

"Cosy room.in a traditional old farm building. The table by the swimming pool had a fabulous vista down the valley to Vizela and beyond; perfect for watching the sunset directly ahead whilst bats fly around and sipping the delicious wine made by the family. We regret not bringing some home! The owner went the extra mile for us, for example taking our laundry and ironing even in the middle of a heatwave"

"We did the Camino and it was right on the Camino trail. Payment is via cash only. The rooms are small but adequate for just one night. Nice place as it has its own vineyard. The caretaker is also very friendly. They provide a pilgrim dinner for 16 euro but we did not do that as we do not eat a heavy dinner. It did look good though."

"This place is so charming and having a kitchen and fireplace made it very nice."
