The Sesimbra gastronomy is strongly connected with the sea. The fish courses and seafood are in the "top" of the preferences of our visitors. The sea fragrances and tastes rule in Sesimbra, but the products from the land are equally appreciated. Besides healthy, the local food satisfies the most demanding tastes.
The swordfish and the black swordfish are considered sublime. The seafood like cockle and mussel, between many others, are, equally, delicacies very demanding.
Other typical products of the region, like the home-made bread, the cheese of Azoia, the apple Camoesa and the winter pear, complete your healthy meal.
The sweets of the land are much appreciated as well. Visit us and enjoy the broas de Alfarim (maize breads of Alfarim), zimbros, brisas do castelo, almirantes and catarinas.
Winding ways are perfect for BTT practice. On the other hand, the cliffs are good for Scaling and Rappel practice.

A beautifully appointed house with great facilities very thoughtfully laid out and very kind and accomodating hosts. The location is fantastic with views out across the bay to Lisbon in the distance. Lots to do in the area (if you can drag yourself away from the beaches!) we went dolphin watching and to Cabo Espichel to see the dinosaur tracks. Great holiday!
Rodrigo and Carla have created a beautiful place. The house has everything one would need including Internet. The views are amazing through the rear panoramic windows. Its so quiet and peaceful that I slept like a baby. My choice of beach was the beach at Sesimbre, where I also found the local market to have excellent fruit and vegatables. Also a choice of very good fish restaurants. I would recommend "Quintola" very highly. Rodrigo and Carla are beyond helpful. Anthony Harnett
We had a great week relaxing at Quintola - the house is superbly appointed (and Carla's kitchen is amazing). Lovely light-filled bedrooms, a wonderful view across to the sea and round the bay to Lisbon from the sunny terrace, and delicious fresh fruit and tomatoes from the garden. Lots of fun outings nearby to varied beaches, wineries, hidden corners of countryside, interesting villages and small towns, and the breathtaking Atlantic horizon of the Cape of Espichel with the austere serenity of Nossa Senhora de Espichel. We lived on delicious fish from the little shop down the road and came home refreshed in body and spirit.
