A delightful dressage equestrian vacation in western Portugal! The Equestrian Center combines an innovative concept of comfort and modernity in the countryside with the already widely recognized Portuguese equestrian tradition. You will be mounted on beautiful Lusitanos for riding lessons, relaxing hacks across the estate or invigorating rides on the silver Areia Branca Beach popular with world-class surfers. In addition to swimming, surfing and tennis, you will be able to taste the distinguished Quinto do Rol regional wines and learn about the process of making wine from local vintners. Upscale cottages and apartments will provide a relaxing respite from your activities.

I wanted to be in touch right away to thank you a thousand times over for the wonderful hospitality you showed us.  It was a very lovely stay, the rooms, staff and service were stellar, the quality of the horses outstanding, and Pedro was a delight. Then there comes the topic of you and Carlos-what generous, energetic, fun, cultured and resourceful people you both are, with the warmest hearts! I cannot say enough to thank you for making our stay over the top. I need to check back in with my world here and especially the horses (…) and will let all the appropriate folks know how fabulous Quinta do rol is. I will be back in touch asap, and hope to be back in Portugal very soon! N.L.
