Quinta do Rol

5 star rating   16 February 2023

Naja (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Thank you so much to Quinta do Rol for trying to ride their amazing Lusitano horses, guided by very good and dedicated instructors. It was very instructive to get an introduction to how to ride Lusitano horses and try different horses and different exercises. Seeing the instructors work with the horses was also a big pleasure and very inspiring. It was done in such a respectful, positive, professional and loving way.

Lovely accommodation in a small house with garden/terrace and own room, bath and toilet. Super delicious food, 3 good meals with plenty of fruit, vegetables, fish and local Portuguese specialities. Cosy with a combination of eating in the dining room and at home in the house.

If there is a horse paradise on earth, it could well be Quinta do Rol. I have dreamed of going on a riding holiday for several years. It lived up to expectations in every way and much more. Fantastic Lusitano horses, super teaching, delicious food & wine, beautiful surroundings and completely unique hospitality and friendliness from the host couple and all employees at Quinta do Rol.
