Quinta do Rol

5 star rating   6 April 2025

Jackie who has been on 9 In The Saddle rides. Dressage training experience exceeded expectations | Amazing highly trained Lusitanos with very good instructors. A variety of horses that you can ride different ones or request the same horse if you prefer.
Immaculately turned out and everything done for you so you just concentrate on riding and enjoying the facilities.
Fortunately an indoor school with good viewing facilities so it didn’t matter that it rained.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Rustic style accommodation in traditional Portuguese style. Comfortable rooms in cottages with shared communal areas including kitchen and living room.
Main dining room is a short walk. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy.
Basic but good fresh food. Three meals a day and one bottle of their own wine provided for each person for the stay was a nice addition.
Stunning indoor heated swimming pool and gym

We were a group of four ladies of a certain age! The experience of riding highly trained dressage horses and learning new skills from excellent instructors surpassed all our expectations. We are hoping to go back!
