we had our wedding reception at this breathtaking place. The beautiful views of the ocean, Troia, the city and the tranquility of being in the middle of the lushes green forest" Serra d'Arribida", made our special day , perfect. All our guests were mesmorised by the amazing views and our wedding photos look incredible. I really could not have picked a better place to hold our wedding reception. We spent our wedding night in one of the windmills, which were equipped with all the necessary utilities for a self-catering holiday but with the added touch of a hotel service like the served breakfast and daily cleaning. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone, there is loads to do in Setubal including getting the ferry across to Troia for beautiful beaches with the added bonus of peaceful sleep each night at this amazing place.

Theresa is a smiling presence at the Quinta dos Moinhos do Sao Filipe. She is the proprietor, a gentle, gracious host, always ready to help. She will book a boat trip for you ( to see the dolphins) or recommend a restaurant. The Quinta is up a number of narrow winding roads, high above Setubal, and even further up than the Pousada ( so follow the signs for the pousada and fork right. Keep going!). We were there at the same time as a couple of guests from New Zealand who had also felt they might never find it. But finding it was well worth the effort.. More a B&B than a traditional hotel, it is set amongst pine trees in the Parc Naturel d'Arrabida. As the wooden gates of the Quinta swing open you see two stark white windmills ( self-catering apartments)in front of you with the sea beyond. The main building, which was in ruins when Theresa bought it, has been carefully and tastefully re-built; it has the feel of a large family house rather than a hotel, with photgraphs, drawings and family furniture. It is elegant and refined, as is the fado music softly playing in the lounge. The French windows open onto a terrace with views across the estuary and to the open sea. Ferries ( one lime green, no less) busy themselves in the water below. You could sit on the terrace for hours, though in May it is cooler up in the hills than in the towns; there is a pool but it was not in use at this time of year. . A simple breakfast of juice, bread, cheese and ham with homemade jams is served on the terrace, but for lunch go to down to the beach ( Theresa will tell you where) or to Setubal for dinner. It is reputed to have the best fish in Portugal. We agree. We ate at the Nova 10, Jose Mourinho's favourite place. It was packed with locals and tourists alike and the food was very good. Try the grilled sardines or the cataplana ( a fish stew); reasonable prices and decent wine for 9 euros a bottle. I have two minor quibbles with the Quinta : the beds in the twin room can be squeaky ( I am a light sleeper), and there is some sound penetration from the corridors and the room next door. But neither of these should put you off an otherwise idyllica place to stay.

We fell in love with this place! We stayed one night before we journeyed further south to the Algarve. We decided that this place is great for kids are are going back this weekend with our son and his friends! The playground is out of this world for older kids even! It's like a camp with a pool, basketball goal and unreal views. The beds are a little hard but the peace and quite that surrounds the area makes up for it. They deliver fresh bread for breakfast along with meat, cheese, coffee, juice and milk. Love the place an we're excited to return for the weekend.

We found this place by accident and stayed only one night on our way from Porto to Sagres but we are very glad that we made this stop. The place is a gem. We stayed at one of the old wind-mills which was very well furnished with functioning kitchen and breath-taking views over the bay. At 150e per night the place is a bit on the pricey side but neverthless worth a visit.

The hotel is the best kept secret in Setubal area. They restored 2 windmills near the city S. Filipe Castle. Inside the property you can park your car next to your windmill with a sea view to die for. The sunsets are just amazing.The tranquility of the area is overwhelming. The breakfast is continental but I'm sure any request is welcome. The swimming pool with the sea/city plus the nature and the tranquility of the area is just a must. The only thing I don't like is the television in my living room is very old without any movie channel's...but hey..... here I just want to stay outside and just watch the nature show !! My final note : because is a very small business you must book in advance.

Worth it for the experience alone. Where else can you stay in a converted windmill, enjoying sweeping ocean and estuary views and the proximity of Arrabida National Park?
We were a couple travelling with a friend and stayed one night in one of the mills, which was set up as independent from the main building so that you may self-cater if you so choose using the stovetop, fridge and microwave. Basic breakfast supplies are provided in the room. The mill has two levels with a sofabed and kitchenette downstairs and a double bed and bathroom upstairs on a sort of mezzanine. All inventively designed and decorated, you can really enjoy the peace of the place with unobstructed views in most directions.
The only problem for our group was that the only bathroom in the mill is the one upstairs, which opens up from near the foot of the double bed, making it awkward to use for the person/s sleeping downstairs on the sofabed. Note also that your car navigator may struggle with the hillside winding road that leads here - ours wanted us to U-turn at a truly suicidal place because it could not work it out! But plough on following the written instructions and you will be fine.

We stayed at the Quinta dos Moinhos during the month of September 2012 - we booked a converted windmill with self catering and my parents stayed in the main house. We were absolutely delighted with our stay which allowed for incredible views of the ocean and the Troia Peninsula while nestled in the National Park of Arrabida. We were just 5 minutes drive from all the fabulous seafood restaurants of Setubal. Teresa, the owner, became not just a friend but just about family by the time we finished our 3 week stay. She gave us terrific tips of places to visit and restaurants to go to. As a results I loaded up 496 pictures of our holidays into my Flickr account. Thank you Teresa for being such a special person - our baby boy and all of us love you!! Can't wait to catch up with you again next year!!

Our intention was to visit Setubal, but Antonio’s place was so special that our staying turned out to be a very nice experience. It is located out of the center and a car is necessary to go back and forth. Our room had an awesome view, with a private garden where we had some pleasant meals. It was clean, neat and very comfortable. Antonio provided wine, bread, ham and cheese, though there was no meal included in the reservation. As we went during the Soccer World Cup and there was a game that interested us, he also offered beer and olives so we could watch it comfortably at our room. He is one of the nicest hostess we have ever had. Thanks Antonio! We do recommend!

The best thing about this delightful spot is the location, a secluded setting in the wooded hills above Setubal, with wonderful views across the bay, big rooms and elegant furnishings. The pool was pretty much ours alone during our stay and although the grounds suggest an extensive set-up there are only a handful of rooms available so it should never get crowded. Walking in to town would take about 20 mins but it would be all uphill on the way back, and you'd need a torch - better idea is to eat out at lunchtime and then relax on the terrace watching the sunset. Dolphin watching cruises are easily arranged in town but we booked ours ahead of time to be on the safe side, it was a morning well spent taking a leisurely catamaran trip (Vertigem Azul) out around the peninsula and a close encounter is pretty much guaranteed. Across the bay in Troia are some of the cleanest and emptiest beaches I've ever seen - they stretch for miles so you can find your own bit of space, but there are plenty of facilities within an easy walk. Setubal is a busy working town with plenty of great cafes and restaurants, with fish an obvious speciality - choco frito is the local speciality which is fine if you like chewing cuttlefish. You need to persevere with the remote control for the main gate - we never really got the hang of it during a five night stay but it always worked, eventually. Some mugs in the kitchen would be a plus, we bought our own in town but took them with us in case our next stop didn't have them either - it can be a bit hit and miss at European accommodation.

We are a family of five and stayed for one night in one of the two windmills. It was absolutely fantastic and a really unique experience especially for the kids. The windmill is amazing, it was spotless, well kept and warm, heaters were on when we went in. The kids slept on a sofa bed with the best view, we were on the second floor with an ensuite. There is also a little mezzanine a great place to finish the evening or when it gets to cold with a glass of wine. We were going to eat out but loved the view over the Tróia Peninsula so went to a local supermarket and sat out enjoying the amazing view. There is a great play area for kids. All in all a unique place to stay with great hospitality
