What I enjoyed most about Quinta da Bouça are the simple things: the comfort, the privacy, the silence. Relaxing on a deckchair under lemon trees, sun-heated water (reaching 28 degrees!) in the pool, morning walks in the forest, drinking chilled regional vinho verde on the patio in the evening while watching the exquisite nature of the garden bathe in golden hour light. Ana and João Couto, the owners of Quinta da Bouça d'Arques, say that their guest house is “a therapy of Nature”. I couldn’t agree more.
