ABOUT
When we first set foot in this quinta (that is Portuguese for country estate), we were immediately carried away into another world, a place where we could feel the energy of the wild nature surrounding us and the serenity of being in a secluded yet vibrant environment. We knew this would be the perfect place to disconnect from our hectic routine and reconnect with ourselves, the people around us and nature. And this is exactly the experience that we want to offer you, an experience created by gay men for gay men.
