Eco & Agro-Tourism

While the Quinta is a family owned bed and breakfast where peace, serenity and relaxation dominate your experience, it is also a working certified organic farm.

When the land of the Quinta was purchased in 1994, it had been abandoned and was overrun with wild vegetation. On the property were ruins of buildings, some of which have been restored. The Manor House and Guest House maintain the original traditional architecture of the region.

Every guest will find what they are looking for in the Quinta experience, whether ecologic, cultural or artistic. The agricultural production is certified organic and food may be consumed right from the farm as it is naturally fertilized and grown without pesticides. Guests are welcome to participate in the daily farm work. The landscape at the Quinta includes a plantation of thousands of lime trees and another of pine trees. There are many native specimens for the bird or flower enthusiast.

If the relaxation in peace and solitude becomes too much, the guest may enjoy any number of attractions very close to the Quinta. To continue enjoying the surrounding landscape, there are beaches nearby. There are also many interesting monuments and museums as well as art, music and dance festivals either in Sintra, Cascais or Lisbon. Others may enjoy the area’s ten golf courses, casino, restaurants, bars, racetrack or nightclubs. There is something for everyone at the Quinta Rio Touro.
