Beautiful housing
and riding facilities
Morgado Lusitano is presented
in a stunning facility in
Alverca. Guests who stay here agree that they have never
seen anything like it in Portugal. Charming guest cottages,
awesome indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and the addition of additional highly
trained horses make this an unbelievable riding vacation.
For the 10 years Morgado Lusitano has been serving the needs of
clients seeking classical riding instruction. During that time they
constantly evaluate all aspects to present the finest
facility of its type. Every effort has been made to improve
the riding experience. An exclusive location, better riding facilities,
additional staff and more highly trained horses add up to a destination
for classical instruction that can not be equaled.
The year was
1775. A beautiful
house overlooking the Rio Tejo was constructed and survived through the
centuries to become what is now the Morgado Lusitano Riding
Center. This region is one of the most productive agricultural areas
surrounding the Port City of Lisbon and the forest and hills surrounding
the estate reflect this
beauty. This special house has with stood
the test of time. It is known as Quinta de Portella and
it is this very house, the house of the Morgado Estate, where you
will be our guest! The land where Morgado Lusitano is located
offers its guests a view of the river that has a 180 degree panoramic
view. Although the setting is private it is located a short 10 minute taxi
ride from either the small town of Alverca, or from the rail link to
Lisbon. This convenient location makes access from a nearby
highway easy. In addition
you could choose to take a short taxi ride to the airport or metro to visit Lisbon
or access the trains that
can whisk you to any of the surrounding regions.
While the exterior of the house is as old, the interior has
been fully modernized for the comfort of the guests. Scattered
around the main house are individual guest cottages that are close
to the activities, yet far enough to be peaceful. Their
renovations provide for relaxing lobbies, spacious rooms with queen size or double
beds and private baths. Outside the
house is a manicured
garden as well as a large swimming pool for cooling you in summer or working
out the aches of riding. Foot thick walls insure cool temperatures
in the summer and a warm interior in the winter, while also
insulating the interior from outside noise, a welcome help to those needing
to recover from a long jet flight.
The main
house features a dining rooms and a cozy library, where guests can
gather to discuss and share their riding adventures for the day.
The morning continental breakfast is provided in the inviting kitchen, and during the day the
common areas are always available for relaxation.
A gracious
staff is always available and they reside at the Quinta full time to
assure that you will be provided for.
