2010 Top Holiday Destinations – #2Monte da Quinta

I briefly considered chatting about another country but decided to stay with Portugal and the Algarve instead. Perhaps I am a little biased but I have spent several lovely holidays there and speaking the language does help a little!

Still looking at the Quinta do Lago, I decided to talk about the Monte da Quinta Club – I have never stayed on the resort but I have visited and I was suitably impressed. The Monte da Quinta townhouses and villas are beautifully furnished and very well maintained and all have to be of a high standard to be considered for rental. The townhouses all have private gardens with a small plunge pool and the villas have larger gardens and full sized pools. They have proved to be very popular with families over the summer and are now being booked by golfers and those wishing to avoid the busy summer season!

Staying on site means that guests are entitled to use the indoor and outdoor pools, gym, Turkish bath, bar, restaurant and coffee shop – plus many more amenities. The properties also offer cable television, daily maid service and internet – a must for many nowadays!

Proving to be equally popular is the on site hotel – the Monte da Quinta Suites. These consist of 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments with their own terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens or pool. There is a lounge/dining room, separate bedroom with en-suite and a galley style kitchen. They seem to offer the best of both worlds as breakfast is included, but self catering is also an option!

The Suites also have access to the on site facilities, plus they offer room service and wireless internet. There is a Kid’s Club and crèche available for children from 6 months and up – guests in the privately owned properties can use this facility too!

The resort is centrally located in Quinta do Lago with the Golf Club opposite and the Jim Stewart Tennis Academy on the doorstep! The beach is also close by – a very short drive or a nice walk. There are a few restaurants within walking distance which would give other options for dining out.

The variety of properties offered at Monte da Quinta makes it an ideal location with many guests re-booking and staying again and again! Altogether a resort to be at least considered for a short break or longer holiday!!!
