Quinta des Tres Rios

Villa Vista at Tras Da Moit
If you like splendid views of the setting sun from a deck overlooking the beautiful Atlantic coast, then consider staying with Colin and Liz, near Ericeira, who do both B&B and Villa rental - beautiful.

Transportations:
We have had good reviews about Economy Car Hire who meet guests in the Arrival Lounge instead of having to contend with Queues and Coutesy Coaches with an all-in-price.
Travel Insurance:
We have used JS Insurance for online travel cover which you might like to check out

Funds Transfer:
Interchangefx is a company we use to transfer funds from the UK to Portugal and who can also provide travel cash at better rates than we have seen elsewhere. They can transfer any currency to euros, (or other currencies) and can deliver to you home address. You can also use them to pay for your accommodation, which you might find useful. If you decide to use Interchange and don't wish to carry so much cash around with you, you could also transfer some of your travel money to our bank account through them and you will have this waiting for you when you arrive; all part of our service.
