Getting There

Direct flights to Lisbon are available from many European cities, often with substantial reductions offered for group bookings. The Quinta is an easy 30 minute drive from the airport. If you do not wish to hire a car or people-carriers, Quinta staff will help with travel arrangements such as coach hire.
