Monte Velho - Portugal

Monte Velho

5 star rating   21 September 2022

Susan who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely superb! | The riding exceeded my expectations. I learnt so much in just 3 days. The horses were just amazing - well trained and an absolute pleasure to ride. My instructor (Lorena) was very patient and helpful - I really benefitted from her guidance (and did want to bring her back to the UK with me!).

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

It is such a beautiful and relaxing place. Appears to be very well run and maintained. The staff could not do enough for you and provided a first-class service. We were very comfortable in our room and I loved sitting on the balcony drinking in the view each evening.

The only slight improvements I could suggest would be the option of having dinner a little earlier as 8pm was quite late for a few of us. The premium rooms with the half glass wall from the bedroom to the bathroom are probably better suited to a couple rather than friends (as the blinds don't completely offer privacy.
