The cottage is lovely, but I expected a bit more in terms of amenities, While the essentials were there, a few extra touches would have made our stay even better, The area is peaceful, though, which we appreciated

This really klopt.Het a place where just everything starts of course with the friendly, welcoming (and hard-working!) Owners Marga and Jur. We were welcomed on arrival with a drink on their terrace, and Jur just went to our house (Casa Retiro) to give some explanation. A week later we were even invited to Jurries birthday and the day before leaving on a afscheidsborrel.Ons house is fully equipped and exceeded even our expectations! Spacious, nicely decorated, big terrace, nice view, lots of privacy because the other houses on large distance staan.Het whole area exudes peace and space. It is so huge that it often seemed as if we were the only guests, even in the ecological (!) Pool we were often in pairs (we count the frogs croaking not count) .And useful the information folder in the house with all kinds of tips for trips, restaurants etc.Kortom recommended! Jaap and William

Here there is no light and noise, only noise from nature. Beautiful hiking area in the hilly landscape to go with the possibility to nearby mountains. Car is required.

Casa Retiro is a lovely cottage, it offers privacy and has a terrace with beautiful views. The pool without chlorine on site is also delicious and actually always nice and quiet. In the area there is plenty to do; sports activities in nature and there are beautiful towns nearby. In short, we really enjoyed our holiday.

Of all the houses, apartments and hotels during our 2 month trip through Portugal and Andalusia was involved this holiday clearly one of the best. Friendly welcome, helpful Dutch owners, cozy clean, fully furnished house in a beautiful area. Here is the "evening really dark and sitting on the terrace you can enjoy calling the uilen.Tip: Use the directions given on the website of Quinta de Retiro. Then you know for sure that you at once to assembled correctly runs.

The owners, Jurrie and Marga Kramer are worth gold! A perfect house for 2 persons, furnished with a great big, private garden with short stroll to beautiful, chlorine-free pool. Excellent information material of the area and any time direct (warm) contact with Kramer gave us valuable tips for exploring the area. We felt "sauwohl"!

There were two in August at Casa Retiro. On the site there are 2 other cottages and the residence of the owner family. Since the houses are far apart, however, you do not feel disturbed by the neighbors. Since it was very hot, we knew the great, cooling pool without chlorine greatly appreciated. He's really great, very neat and clean. We were very pleasantly surprised as the the photo was not quite apparent. Though the other two houses were occupied at the same time on the site, we always had the pool to ourselves. The owners are very friendly and helpful and also speak German. In the house everything is there that you need, the equipment is not reasonably standard, but individual. Conclusion: Casa Retiro is recommended in any case!

Our stay at the cottage at Quinta do Retiro is one word to summarize: enjoy! We enjoyed the beautiful domain, the tranquility, nature, very cozy and perfectly decorated house on the slope. We certainly enjoyed the beautiful pool and the warm welcome that Jurrie and Marga gave us. And of course, we greatly enjoyed the beautiful Portugal! A huge windfall! Eric and Sabine from Leuven.

Our experience of Quinta do Retiro was excellent. If you like rural AND comfort, then this is an absolute must. The owners were also exceptionally attentive and friendly and will do anything to please the guests / tenants to make sense. We were surprised and very happy! Sjeng and Femmy of Holly
