BOOK YOUR STAY
Immersing yourself in the essence of Quinta da Foz’s 10 hectares
At Quinta da Foz, located in Foz do Arelho in the Western region of Portugal, there’s plenty to see and do: from centuries-old trees, a dining and meeting room, a 16th-century chapel, an indoor and outdoor riding arena, a delicate garden, a courtyard with numerous ancient plane trees, memorable days and nights in rooms with historic furnishings or in family homes, unforgettable breakfasts and environmental tourism experiences in nature.
Ideal for receptions and welcome cocktails.
The Quinta Garden, located at the entrance to our Quinta, is a charming place, full of green areas and a porch with historic stone benches where you can step back in time.
Plane Trees Courtyard is one of the Quinta’s most special places, whether it’s for the view over the Óbidos Lagoon, the century-old plane trees or the beautiful stone tables.
This spot is covered in natural shade and has a small porch that can be accessed from the bedrooms and used as a resting area. Let the peacocks strut their stuff there, showing off their mighty fans of harmonious feathers and enchanting us with their sovereign song.
At the entrance to Quinta da Foz, the stables are home to horses, ducks and chickens. In these stables you can meet the cock-a-doodle-doo and quack-quack families and the Poet who stays there on cold nights (because he really likes the countryside).
Located right at the entrance to Quinta da Foz, the Quinta’s riding arena is a large rectangular space (180 m²) whose sand floor is covered by a wooden structure.
The walls tell many stories because the building, although restored, preserves the essence of riders and their horses. The tribune, which houses General Junot’s charriot (16th century) that also transported Queen Maria II at a later date, continues to dazzle as soon as you enter the space.
This is considered the ideal space for organising events for up to 100 people as it has two separate entrances, a tribune, two separate bathrooms and the option of autonomous light and sound systems.
Located on the west side of Quinta da Foz, the outdoor arena is a vast rectangular space where you can also find the donkey Jurema, one of our Quinta’s emblematic inhabitants.
Built at Quinta da Foz in 16th century, this iconic venue is almost 500 years old…
It is suitable for a traditional wedding ceremony, whose commemoration involves a religious and Catholic celebration, but with the prior authorisation of the parish priest of Foz de Arelho´s Church.
The chapel is full of meaning, can seat up to 50 people – on benches or individual chairs – and has a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. This religious building has a centralised floor plan, somehow still attached to 16th century tradition, and is unparalleled in other areas of the Quinta.
Since 2015, 6 references of aromatic herbs have been planted at Quinta da Foz, on around 2 hectares, which are 100% organic: lemon balm, lemongrass, peppermint, spearmint, lime verbena and lemon thyme.
Teas are ready to be served, during breakfast, (in the traditional tableware of the Paiva Calado family) or can be purchased in lovely packages.
