” Another lovely trail. Perfect hosts, vey attentive and always trying to give you the best holiday ever. The trail had a very beautiful countryside, even in the rain! The stays in the ‘Quintas’ felt like being part of the family. I had a good time and totally enjoyed it. Thank you. The afternoons by the pool or fireside together with the music were really relaxing after a good riding day.”

“I had dreamed since long to ride a Lusitanian horse in Alentejo. This is now done. I appreciated to get close to Alentejo “heart” thanks to the accommodation in genuine homes! The visit of the Coudelaria is a great moment also, despite the “crisis” that seems to reach also the wonderful Alter Real horses breeding.”
