Family Trips: Why renting an entire farmhouse makes all the difference
Traveling with family is one of life’s greatest pleasures – but it can also be a challenge. Managing schedules, keeping everyone entertained, and ensuring quality rest isn’t always easy.
The good news? When you rent an entire farmhouse, like Quinta da Carlota, everything changes.
1. Freedom to be yourselves
Hotels come with rules, timetables, and often little room for kids to play freely. At Quinta da Carlota, there are acres of outdoor space, trails to explore, an orchard to discover, animals to visit- and no constant “shhh.” Kids run free, and adults can finally breathe.
2. Total privacy, no worries
By renting the whole farmhouse, the space is entirely yours. No sharing common areas with strangers, no worries about noise or schedules. You can sleep in, have a barbecue at night, or even set up a tent for the kids in the garden. The place is truly yours.
3. Cook, Eat, and Be Together
The team at Quinta da Carlota is happy to prepare family meals using garden produce and local ingredients. And you can enjoy them at your own pace—whether it’s a slow breakfast or an al fresco dinner at sunset. No rush, no lines, no reservations needed.
4. Learn from Nature (no screens needed)
Here, kids learn naturally – observing the earth’s cycles, caring for animals, getting their hands dirty, or simply playing outdoors. No screens, no distractions, just real-life experiences that stay in their memory.
5. Real quality time
Renting an entire farmhouse creates a setting where family bonds grow stronger. It’s the perfect backdrop for long conversations, spontaneous laughter, made-up games, and shared silences at sunset. These are the moments you’ll never forget.
