Welcome to the beautiful authentic center of Portugal. At the end of the 1980s I, John, came to Portugal for the first time during my holiday job as an ANWB repatriation driver and fell in love with the country and the green hilly region in the center: Beiras e Serra da Estrela. In the nineties I bought the Quinta as a ruin and after years of refurbishing we rent it out since 2006 through Micazu. About 10 years ago I got the opportunity to leave Limburg and work as an expat near Lisbon. There I met my partner Silvia who had left her home country Brazil that same year to seek her happiness in Europe. Since then we have lived together on the outskirts of Lisbon and run our own company Banita, Lda. During local holidays we look for the peace and nature of the Quinta. The rest of the year we would like to let you enjoy this magical place. If you want to know more about us, the house or that part of Portugal, please feel free to contact us.

A beautiful holiday home in a beautiful location. It is a lovely place to see a day "at the doorstep" and enjoy the pool, the sun and the view, but also lovely to return to after a day out.

House is very quiet and equipped with everything you need. To see how large forest fires have left their mark on the area. The plot of the Quinta was neatly cleaned up but otherwise many blackened trees in the area. We had two ...
