Welcome to
Quinta do Rio Alva
A Bed & Breakfast and Glamping in the middle of nature, on one of the cleanest rivers in Portugal, the rio Alva. That is Quinta do Rio Alva. Located in central Portugal, the green heart, between Arganil and Tábua in the village of Mouronho (Ronqueira).
Our Quinta is for everyone, from the peace seeker to the sports enthusiast and from the couple in love to a family or group of friends. If you are looking for a location for a retreat, a creative week, or another type of week, we are open to collaborations. In the fall of 2019 we organized a singing week with a colleague B&B, this was a resounding success. In September 2020 and 2021 we hosted a total of 3 Women Empowerment/yoga weeks.
The B & B has 4 tastefully decorated rooms, each with its own unique view of the beautiful surroundings.
In addition, each room has a TV, stocked mini-bar and an en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet. Are you looking for more privacy? Then book one of our 2 glamping lodges. These lodges are fully equipped, with a private bathroom, kitchen and covered terrace overlooking the river. Casa Lua is suitable for 5 persons, casa Sol for 6 persons (3 bedrooms).
In addition to the house and the glamping lodges, we also have a lovely swimming pool, with a spacious terrace around it. Here you can enjoy the tranquility or a good book on sunbeds, under the parasol. We also have a bar by the pool, where you can get chilled drinks and ice cream for a small fee. In the upper garden we have placed a large outdoor kitchen with a wood oven (for delicious pizzas) and 2 BBQs (gas and wood), our guests are of course allowed to use this. You can (depending on the time) pick fruit from the many trees. No shortage of (outdoor) games! Everything can be used; football goal, trampoline, archery and much more.

who are we
José – Sabine & Sem
Bomb slide!
We are José, Sabine and Sem. José is 100% Portuguese, but came to the Netherlands with his parents at a young age. Sabine is 100% Dutch, but because of the many holidays in Portugal, she already has a big Portuguese heart. Sem is therefore 50% Portuguese and 50% Dutch. With his year he is a pleasant, sweet and sometimes naughty little man. He likes to play with the children and also likes to go for a walk in the neighborhood.
