WHO ARE WE? Veerle Hammerstein and Marcel van Gessel. It is an "everlasting love" we have with Quinta Amarela. When we bought the country house in 2005, we decided to improve something on the quintas every year. The result may be, we thought we were looking at the pictures. Our country house always has something striking about us, we hope you have the same experience. The rental is in the hands of René van Koekenberg, speaks the language and lives 15 years in Portugal.

We had 6 wonderful days at Quinta Amarela. Even with the two of us, the house (we used the upper floor) is not too big. Tastefully and attractively furnished, fully equipped, more than complete kitchen. We didn't find the immed...
