Quinta do Valão

THE VACATIONS ARE COLLECTED 2 TIMES AND NOT RETURNED TO ME

I will not return, the treatment of saleswomen and dinner, horrifying

They were all very nice and responded to our requests. If something was missing, they took care of it immediately. Super

In the summer and without covid it must be great. At this time, reception and dining room need to be aired ...

Bangalows are cool, clean, close to the pool, at last tiptop! It seems to me a good choice to be with family and children ..! .. calmly?

Needs pulling, but good hygiene and respect for the silence of others.

We found the accommodation by chance by airbnb and we couldn't have more luck, the houses are in the middle of the forest, they treated us very well and were very friendly. They also let us stay with our dogs that were very comfortable since the accommodation has a garden and the surroundings are forests with hardly any traffic. All very quiet and with spectacular beaches just 10 minutes by car

A) We rented an apartment through Booking that supposedly is advertised as 70m2, this must have 35m2, easy to measure being a rectangle and counting the floor tiles, which was a criterion for choice (large apartment) ... Here I went to deception. B) The aforementioned apartment is not located on the site shown on the maps, which is the bungalow campground with the swimming pool. It is 700 meters from this location, it is a modest house with a landscaped plot on which 9 adjoining apartments have been built (like annexes) 35m2 each, despite having 2 bedrooms, they are really tiny. There is a children's pool in the middle of the garden, approximately 3 meters in diameter and perhaps 30 cm high, just for small children. C) I don't know if it's worth mentioning but we had an infestation of ants, we were continually sweeping the kitchen, they're really boring. D) there is a lack of care in maintenance, the shower does not seal well, making a pool of water on the floor of the toilet, after which we have to collect the water. The shower when placed on its support points to a high area and away from the shower, it is a detail, but we have to remove it from the support and point it manually. A socket in one of the rooms doesn't work (relevant because it's on the beds, needed to charge cell phones). E) Low ventilation, the pseudo-apartments are "window" type, that is, the front is a large fixed glass, with a door, there is no more air inlet except the entrance door, we have to have- It is open to air, especially if we are 4 people. F) the "tenants" are on our own in this small group of accommodations, there is no employee to look after, there are only 2 CCTV cameras that record the entrance and the garden, just a detail. G) Yes, we have access to the complex's large swimming pool, which is perhaps its only asset, but as already mentioned we have to go to the main complex. Those 700 meters, if you have children, only by car. This big pool doesn't have WCs nearby, we have to go to the bar/restaurant at the entrance. Another detail is that the pool area lacks the music they put on, beats, where the volume was loud and annoying, we all like different styles of music, and I found it very strange that there was music. Besides, there came a time when they played loud music from the bungalows, and it was an environment of noise pollution, it was bad. Lack of some civility. H) We stayed in the apartment furthest from the entrance, the Wi-Fi signal is horrible, you can't get caught inside the apartment, I decided to leave a cell phone in the garden and use it as a relay. That way we already had WiFi inside. The site needs a second WiFi access point. I) TV only picks up Portuguese channels, warning only because of the children. K) Bed linen/towels are purchased upon arrival, at a cost of 10 EUR (once). J) I reinforce that there was a lack of information and/or misleading information on the website and photos, I don't know if it was purposeful, but it made me choose the wrong choice, it was reasonably cheap but ... it would have been better to have stayed at home or paid a few euros more and opt for something much better . I) If we have children, it is good as it is a large and closed garden, providing some tranquility in relation to their safety. It is in the middle of the Forest, with a surrounding area of ​​clean bush. Nothing nearby. I'm sorry it was too long, but it's so you know what you're going to find, have a good time. Conclusion: It works if we have no alternative, but there must be much better options.
