Monte Velho - Portugal

Monte Velho

5 star rating   12 September 2024

Siân who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Timeless dressage and trail rides | Anne-Sylvia and Bernardo were excellent in listening and identifying areas that I wanted to work on. I rode four different horses through the classical lessons in an order to better my understanding and execution of lateral work aids; the instructors delivered their lessons in a succinct and personable manner which made the experience educational whilst remaining thoroughly enjoyable.

The trail rides were beautiful in the surrounding vista and the horses had lovely canters.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Everyone that worked at Monte Velho were super friendly and welcoming. The rooms are finished to a high standard and the toiletries/tea/coffee facilities provided are well thought out. There was a small issue within my room that was beyond MV’s control, however the house keeper did a marvellous job at rectifying it swiftly.
