Monte Velho - Portugal

Monte Velho

5 star rating   25 May 2023

Jenny who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Incredible days in a beautiful location | The accommodation, facilities and meals at Monte Velho were all of a high standard. The horses are a credit to them and the instructors provide a super level of instruction.
I was privileged to ride 3 different well schooled horses. There are some challenges involved in meeting the demand for lessons and some guests had lessons taken out from their original schedule. Also important to know lessons are shared rather than individual. This was fine for me to have a walk and give the horse a break at times as the instructors switch between riders during the session.
I had a great trip, which was my second visit here. The evening walk to meet this years foals with the owner was a highlight as it’s incredible to learn about the history and breeding program. I’m sure I’ll return again.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Nice food and a couple of different dishes done for me to avoid a food allergy. All done without having to make any special request as they had the information from ITS. Lovely housekeeping team and kitchen crew.
