Would you like to take your dog(s) with you on holiday? This is possible in the period from November to March, so during our wintering season. You can walk with the dog directly from the Quinta! Dogs are also tolerated on the beaches in winter, but always make sure that the droppings are cleaned up! 
 
In the regular season (April to October) dogs or other pets are not allowed. 
 
We have a few small rules about bringing your dog(s):
- Not on the beds and couch!
- Please clean up excrement from the garden.
- The dog is not allowed to take a shower in the house, we have an outdoor shower and/or a garden hose that can be used for this. 
- Do not cause any nuisance to our other guests and neighbors.
