	Accommodation Description
Description :	The 'Quinta do Covanco' is an estate with several centuries of history, situated in the historic municipality of Alenquer and characterised by a rural architectural style, deriving from the farming activities first developed here in the past, most notably the growing of vines.... Vila de Alenquer, well known as Vila Presépio, belongs to the Western Region, a region of extensive vineyards and hills crowned with mills between a maritime coast with extensive beaches and the beauty of the Tagus River. Quinta do Covanco's excellent location – at the entrance to Vila de Alenquer and 30km from Lisbon – allows you to have a thoroughly deserved few days' break as well as getting to know other historic sites that are worth visiting such as Lisbon, Sintra, the Mafra and Queluz Convents, Óbidos, Nazaré, Tomar, Fátima… Quinta do Covanco dates back to the XIX century and is marked by a rural architectural style derived from the agricultural activities my grandfather performed in the past, namely vines. This imposing infrastructure was adapted to provide every comfort and a family atmosphere to those who visit us... The farm is able to offer you the pleasure of comfortable accommodation, the tranquil surrounding countryside and a relaxed family atmosphere where you will have the chance to experience tasty home-cooked meals. The farm features 6 double rooms (each with en-suite bathroom, telephone, heating and satellite TV), a lounge with open fireplace, a piano and bar and a games room. After a lovely night's sleep, there's nothing like a lovely breakfast where mother Teresa's homemade cakes and jams are the highlight – cannot be missed. A stroll through the Quinta could be the next part of the day, or a visit to the historic town Alenquer and Montejunto Mountain, or enjoy some of the best Portuguese wines on the Wine trail or the West's beautiful beaches like Peniche, Santa Cruz, Nazaré and the Berlengas islands – a maritime nature reserve of rare beauty - are particularly noteworthy. To bring such a lovely day to an end, you can enjoy a lovely home cooked meal, have a drink in front of the fire place or even adventure out to sample the good gourmet cuisine of the municipality's restaurants.
