Querida ‘Alice’

 Este sitio è simplesmente maravilhoso...
Adorámos desde a hora de chegada até ao ultimo minuto. Nunca imaginámos sentir tanto paz e bem estar como aqui.
Tanto a Alice como o João foram 2 pessoas fantásticas, assim como todos os cães e gatos que parecem uma autentica familia...
De tantos sitios que já passámos, este foi sem duvida muito especial...

Bejinhos e até à proxima (muito em breve),

Té e Susana , Portugal

 Ps : o pequeno-almoço é divinal...

My Englisch is not so good but I want to try and write something.

It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The nature here is very beautiful. I love the horses, Trudy, Milou, Lola, Quo Vadis, Lusja (all) and your kind dogs Nico, Fons, Fred, Buggie and also `Celvi qui habite dans la forêt` (Foxy). It´s a wonderful time in a beautiful place! I was very happy when I can came with Liesje and feed the horses and when we rode in the nature, I on Trudy, my mother on Lola. It is so funny that Nico sleep with us. I will come back! I wish you and youre wonderful pets a nice time here!

Merci beaucoup pour notre séjour dans cet endroit merveilleux. Les propriétaires charmants. On va obligatoirement revoir à Portugal!

Hello Liesje en João,

 

This is Steven. Affraid of horses. I don´t even dare to give them a carrot. I only dare to buy a carrot for them. My wife (beautiful wife) must give it to them. I also buy cookies for your dogs. I dare to give this to them. The cats are getting nothing because they ask for something. You don´t do that… I enjoyed the beautiful house. I saw it 3 years ago for the first time and this house and estate grew!!! Within 3 years I will come back (`I´ll be back!!!). With carrots, cookies and daily stress wich I want to leave here, I have one day left (tomorrow) and who knows, me, the carrots and the horses will become friends!

Hey Liesje and João,

It was great to be here. As Merijn wrote already: we immediately felt at home in this nicely decorated house. Liesje really thought about everything!
The workshop natural horsemanship with Adam was fascinating and impressif. We enjoyed it to meet some of our friends, like Leen, I made a beautiful walking with her at Vale de Rossim. Something to recommend!
I enjoyed it to work somewhat in your garden in the morning.
A lovely holiday and a place to come back!

Thanks for all your care and hospitality!

Dear Liesje,

 

Thank you for the wonderful rides – etched on my memory – and the good company. No gallop this time but next time I promise!
The apartment is lovely, peaceful quiet. What better view is there than looking out from the balcony in the early morning to see the horses grazing in the fields.

 See you again I hope

     Não...não foi bom...foio muito melhor que isso. Foi spectacular. Sinceremente, ultrapassou todas as minhas espectativas. Desde logo, a quinta é demais. O sitio é lindo, todos os animais são cinco estrelas, é todas as pessoas que aqui conhecemos são vinte estrelas- a nossa anfitriá, a Liesje (para nós, portugueses ‘Alice’, mas também o João e a Josefine.

     Resumindo, este fim de semana foi o melhor presente que nos podíamos ter oferecido para comemorar os 15 anos de casados. E de certeza que não vamos esperar mais 15 para voltar.
 Obrigado Liesje pela forma como nos recebeste e até à proxima, se deus quizer.

 A estadia aqui para mim foi uma surpresa preparada pela minha esposa pelas meus 51 aninhas. Uns dias bastante relaxantes e uma aproximação interessante a outra maneira de lidar com cavalos orientada por um ‘encantador de cavalos’ o Adam, que tinha vindo de Inglaterra expressamente para o efeito. Conosco estivesem também ‘Florence’ da Austria e ‘Tasse’ da Holanda. Foi uma experiência bastante enriquecedora.

Obrigado Liesje

Obrigado Adam

I Have had a wonderfull time here.
There is a healing power about this farm.
I have enjoyed the rain, the dawn, the fire, the animals, the earth and the trees, not to mention the skys and the views.
Reality is a state of conciousness, I have found a new state of conciousness to some degree. I am forever gratefull.

Liesje,

It is with a heavy heart that we leave”Quinta d'Alegria”after 2 wonderful weeks.

But as our horseriding song goes”I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again”, I am sure we will be back.

Thanks to you,Ellen,”Boogie the bush labrador”,”Fonz the black nose”,”Fred the bush doggy” ,”Milo, Quo-Vadis, Lola, Estrella and the wonderful Lusia we had a great time.


Thanks and a final “Jeee Jaaaah!!!”for now.

Liesje,

We have stayed at quinta d'Alegria four times since the autumn of 2005 and have loved everyday we have spend here.The farm is beautiful but also has the ambiance of everyday country life allowing for a fantastic and unique experience.Great people,great annimals,lovely setting,and lot's of peace and quiet.At night you can see all the stars and hear the wild life and feel removed from life in the city.All of this,combined into great hospitality has made all the time we have spent here really fulfilling.

Words can not express what a wonderful time I have had this week !I've learned so much and I thank you for your patience and confidence. I loved the guesthouse and the entire farm with all the cute details that made it feel like home. The trekkings were beautiful and Connie was an excellent guid. I will tell all my friends back in the "wild west" what a gem this place is!

Take care, Brooke Berard
