Fodor's Expert Review Quinta da Gafaria

Midway between Santarém and Almeirim, this homestead offers modern, tastefully decorated lodgings with plenty of opportunities for contact with the farming and ranching operations. Each of the spacious rooms and apartments has its own terrace or access to a shared one. There's complimentary access to bikes for guests, plus horseback riding, including two ponies for the kids, and you can book a massage for your return.
