Quinta do Retiro: Nature holiday in Central Portugal
Quinta do Retiro is a small-scale and child-friendly holiday park in Central Portugal with four beautiful holiday homes and a small charming nature campsite. There are also some fully furnished family tents. The beautifully landscaped ecological swimming pool makes our holiday park unique according to our guests. In the summer there are always several families with children of all ages. So small enough to be small-scale, but large enough so that children can still connect with other children. We can host groups up to 130 guests.
EXCELLENT Based on 191 reviews Posted on Pieter DekkersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geweldig plaats voor mensen op leeftijd voor al de rustPosted on Annemiek van MoorstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een heerlijke plek! Ruime plekken, rust, groen en uitzicht. Het badhuis is top! Fijne regendouches. Vrolijke vriendelijke campingeigenaar.Posted on Tania T.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A beautiful place in a secluded area, so lovely and so quiet. We stayed in one of the holiday houses for a few days and enjoyed it so much. The service from the owner is great, with small touches (bread delivery in the morning, honesty bar at the pool area etc). I loved the natural pool, so pleasant. It’s a good place to spend some time without distractions from the outside world.Posted on Anjo B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful campground, relaxing pool, really friendly and likable owners and extremely good for families. We’ll def come back! Thanks 🙏🏻Posted on Margreet van VeluwTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een paradijs!! Bij aankomst voelden we ons direct welkom en we konden een mooie plek kiezen. Wat een ruimte!! De eigenaar, Jeroen, was super vriendelijk en relaxed. Verder klopt alles op deze camping; ruim en schoon sanitair, elke dag worden er verse broodjes én Pastel de Nata bezorgd, er is een speeltuin en een heerlijk zwembad, ligbedden voor bij je campingplek, en op meerdere plekken kun je drankjes of ijsjes uit een koelkast halen (schrijf gewoon op wat je hebt gepakt en reken af bij uitchecken, love it)!! Hier kom je echt goed tot rust, er hangt zo’n relaxte sfeer! We hadden heel graag langer willen blijven, hopelijk komen we er nog eens terug!!Posted on Hanne Van obberghenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great campsite. Love the pool. Nice owners. They don't overwhelm you with rules. You can just chill and relax. They have fridges with chilled drinks and ice creams standing on different spots for self service. The family bathroom is so great, especially when you have little children. For sure would recommend.Posted on Sergio PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un sitio rodeado de naturaleza y tranquilidad para desconectar. El trato por parte del personal ha sido encantador desde que llegamos. Al llegar nos ofreció un amplio lugar para elegir nuestra parcela, con muchos árboles y sombra. Es un sitio muy tranquilo, ideal para relajarse y desconectar, completamente rodeado de naturaleza y de un río que cruza el camping. Por las mañanas traen pan y pasteis de nata, lo cual está genial! Los baños están muy bien y completos, a parte de limpios. También dispone de una piscina donde refrescarse. En resumen, un precioso lugar en medio de la naturaleza y con un muy buen trato por parte de su anfitrión.Posted on Shanna BuyleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Een heel rustige camping in de natuur. Heel vriendelijke, gastvrije en behulpzame uitbaters. We hebben met ons gezin genoten van de rust, de natuur en de familiale sfeer. Er zijn veel faciliteiten aanwezig. Het sanitair blok is er netjes onderhouden en alles is er voorhanden. De kinderen zochten met hartelust naar kikkervisjes in het natuurzwembed. We beleefden er een zeer leuke tijd. We keren zeker nog eens terug.Posted on Marjolein LuijpenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Het was fantastisch! Wat een prachtige plek om te kamperen. Alles goed onderhouden en schoon. Wij zijn hier 10 dagen geweest met onze kinderen, we hadden een mooie ruime plek voor onze vouwwagen, met uitzicht! Het zwembad was heerlijk! Voorzien van minibar met koude drankjes! Speeltuin en leuk beekje om vissen te vangen, kids hebben ook genoten, waren veel vriendjes en vriendinnetjes. Wij ook, vooral van de rust en natuur. Super gastvrij ontvangen door Jeroen en zijn vrouw. En elke dag broodjesservice😀aanrader!!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Green oasis with a babbling river
The fourteen-hectare quinta is located in a secluded, small valley with a beautiful terraced landscape. The holiday homes and the nature campsite are located on their own part of the site because there is enough space. The atmosphere is rural, varied and green with many fruit trees, olives and grape vines. A river with some rock formations and waterfalls cuts through the site.
Come to true peace in the nature of Central Portugal
Quinta do Retiro is located just outside the village of Covas near Tábua and Oliveira do Hospital in the Dão wine region (Central Portugal). This region is located between the mountains of the Serra da Estrela National Park with the Torre as the highest mountain in Portugal, the Serra Açor and the Serra Caramulo. Two larger rivers run through the area. The Rio Mondego and the Rio Alva with its many beautiful river beaches. There is definitely no mass tourism. The area is especially popular with nature lovers, hikers and cyclists who love peace, space and authentic villages with a very friendly population.

Posted on TetyanaVerified A beautiful place in a secluded area, so lovely and so quiet. We stayed in the holiday house for a few days and enjoyed it so much. The service from the owner is great, with small touches (bread delivery in the morning, honesty bar at the pool area etc).The place is kid-friendly, my 5-year old one enjoyed the playground, the pool and lots of nature. I loved the natural pool, so pleasant.It’s a good place to spend some time without distractions from the outside world.Posted on DinaraVerified We stayed in a house with windows overlooking a lovely hill and forest. The house is cozy and has everything you might need. It's peaceful all around, with only the sound of birdsong. The location is very convenient — during our three-day stay, we managed to visit many places. It’s one of those hidden gems in Portugal. The property is charming and well-kept, and the natural pool is an atmospheric spot to escape the summer heat.Posted on AndreaVerified Quinta do Retiro was perfect for our family stay in Covas villa. The surroundings are lovely and Jeroen & Linzi friendly and helpful hosts. We would definitely recommend a stay here, and hope to visit again.Posted on HelenVerified We stayed in one of the cottages at the highest point with a beautiful view of the campsite and the high rocks that also belong to the campsite. A beautiful place, even more beautiful than in the pictures. Here you can really relax. The children enjoyed themselves in the ecological swimming pool (among the fish and frogs) and on the trampoline with other children. Jeroen and Linzie do everything to make the stay as pleasant as possible. One real recommendation!Posted on AllanVerified Eu tive uma experiência incrível na casa em que me hospedei! Os Jurrie foi extremamente gentil e atencioso, sempre disposto a ajudar com tudo o que precisávamos. A propriedade em si era simplesmente maravilhosa, cercada pela natureza e com uma vista deslumbrante.O ambiente era muito tranquilo e relaxante, o que foi perfeito para recarregar minhas energias e escapar da agitação da cidade. A casa era muito confortável e bem equipada, com tudo o que precisávamos.Eu definitivamente recomendaria para qualquer pessoa que esteja procurando por um refúgio tranquilo e relaxante. Agradeço aos anfitriões por tornar a minha estadia tão especial e mal posso esperar para voltar!Posted on CláudioVerified Casa incrível para descansar!!Posted on DoraVerified Uma espaço maravilhoso, no meio da natureza. Acordar neste espaço, dá de todo um ótimo dia. E o espaço está bem equipada. Uma ótima estadiaPosted on TiagoVerified Quinta do Retiro is a great place for a quiet few days within the nature. Located in a great spot to explore the national park of Serra da Estrela or to spend a few days of calmness and privacy with friends or family. I’d definitely recommend.Posted on VeraVerified Foi tudo maravilhoso, desde ao sossego, a vista deslumbrante, a piscina de água natural, as pequenas descobertas para o meu filho de 2 anos.A Jurrie teve a atenção de deixar uma caixa com uma pista de comboios que foi o entretém do meu pequeno durante a nossa estadia sempre que não estava no alpendre a brincar com o seu novo amigo de 4 patas, ou a tomar duche de mangueira 😊Tudo desperta os nossos sentidos na casa de Covas. Nada a apontar, nem mesmo o facto de não termos tv portuguesa 😂 afinal estávamos na Quinta do Retiro para descansar (o máximo que se consegue com uma criança de 2 anos que descobriu um novo mundo!).Cria-se entre os hóspedes das várias casas rapidamente um sentimento de vizinhança, em que a simpatia e cordialidade se instala sem quebrar a privacidade que cada um necessita, é a verdadeira vida no campo.Recomendo sem duvida. Obrigada por tudo!Posted on ChristianVerified Le lieu est un peu difficile à trouver mais Jurrie très accessible par téléphone à su nous guider pour nous y rendre.Nous avions réservé le logement Novas. Ce logement surplombe l’ensemble du site : Magnifique.L’endroit est tout simplement un havre de paix. Nous y avons passés 4 jours ( 2 adultes avec 2 enfants 17ans et 13ans) à nous balader dans la plaine et ces petites montagnes. Nous avons aussi profité de la piscine naturelle qui est très bien entretenue... une eau pure et douce.Une supérette « Continente » à 10 minutes.Je ne peux que vous conseiller d’y aller si vous recherchez repos et tranquillité. Nous y reviendrons👍🏻👍🏻.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
