How to get there

At the next roundabout, take the 1st exit right signposted 'Transito Local' onto Avenida das Robinias, and go to the T junction where you turn right onto Avenida das Nogueiras, heading back towards the railway line.

Follow the road left, parallel to the track, and then left again and go over a stone bridge; the Quinta will be on your right. Go past the main house and take the next right and turn right again through the main gate.
