Lots of car noise, late night parties, discos and music bars! NOT! This was a perfect location to unwind and escape the rat race long warm days by the lake just what was needed, the house came fully equiped. I have ever used abroad almost akin to your own spice and equipment wise, very easy to find (did have my doubts) but instructions where spot on, supermarket (Continente) is easy to find you simply follow the road to Tomar and there it is around a 10 min drive and very reasonably priced. A deffinat must is a visit to the Castle in Tomar it is with out doubt superb. The lakes where really nice to swim in and a really nice spot, the water is clean and cool the Dam is also worth a visit. All in All a very nice place to stay in deed nothing like watching the sun go down in the garden chairs with a glass of wine. I did wonder who the fool beeping his horn was every day, I didn't realise till the last day it was the bread van! So when you hear it, it stops just a little further down from the cottage so pop down and buy some bread we missed this experiance, ah well there is always next time, Would we go back here........ ABSOLUTLY, without a doubt.

Maybe there is another place as beautiful as this one in the world, but Quinta do Feonix remains unique to the 4 of us. Because of all the people around, because it is far from everything except the lake which is incredibly nice to swim in, and so so beautiful. I've visisted many places, I've been far away, but never was I so touched by a place. Thank you for sharing that paradise with other people. Thank you for being so cool (everything you could ever think of is there, including a coffee machine, a bread machine,) and the baker and fishman that stops by at the house is absolutely awesome!!! Finally, it's the perfect place to visit: Tomar, Constancia, Bathala, Alcobaça...So just go as if you were going to visit family, because it really feels like home!
