“excellent place for riding holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2010

Vale de Ferro is paradise for equestrians. Valdemar, the owner, maintains a cosy and homely atmosphere. Three healthy meals are served daily. The horses are wonderful: there is one for every level of ability, they are well trained and well handled. The teachers and guides do their very best to teach you to be a better rider and to enjoy the trail rides. The swimming pool and the wonderful gardens are another advantage of the place.

“beautiful place with beautiful horses”

I came here on the advice of a friend and was very pleased with the result. The place is quiet, friendly, and filled with beautiful trees and gardens. It also has a great swimming pool. The horses are excellently maintained and the rides very interesting. Julien especially is a good guide. The only drawback was the heat recently but that was true of the whole Algarve region. I would definitely return. And the cost is very reasonable. Food good too.
