My wife and I stayed on the b&b basis using the Quinta as a base to explore the Douro Valley. Very comfortable accommodation, continental breakfasts were superb, garden and views oustanding. Filipe, Tatiana and Vania couldn't do enough for us and I can't recommend it highly enough. Hopefully the Quinta will be able to label their wine soon and not be delayed further by local bureaucracy! All in all just a wonderful experience.
... not as good for families. Very beautiful and would make a romantic retreat but I have concerns about the wobbly bannister in our self catering apartment (kids have been told not to lean on it at any cost) and whilst there is a lovely pool outside our house, the neighbouring guest's dog is very vocal towards our little boy and with all sunbeds taken by them, lying on the grass which their dog has used as a toilet is unappealing (the dog has also swam in the pool which personally I don't like). The house itself is clean and rustic but with most of it being basement level, feels very confined, particularly as we are wary of using the outside space. The views around the quinta and the gardens are absolutely stunning but we probably wont return.
My first stay in a Quinta and it was very relaxing. The room was very clean characterful with a huge en suite overlooking the pool and valley; a great view at all times but especially in the early morning. The poolside is quiet and relaxing. The location demands that you have a car to access the town and restaurants and is an ideal point from where to explore the Douro Valley. The staff members are welcoming and really helpful, providing suggestions for restaurants and routes.
This is by far the best hotel we have stayed in for a long time in Europe. The accommodation was immaculate, the service and help of the staff was first rate. The hotel has a number of different rooms and public areas which are all beautifully furnished and decorated. The breakfast room is next to the immaculate kitchen and is fresh and carefully prepared. The swimming pool overlooks the Doura Valley it is idyllic. We could not fault this hotel
We stayed on the estate for two wonderful nights courtesy of Adrian and his staff. This place is utterly charming and a perfect location to step out of the hustle and bustle. The accommodation we had was ground floor room overlooking the pool. Very clean and roomy with a perfect view over that part of the Douro valley. The staff.. Adriane the manager speaks great English but better than that he's a gent and calmly reassuring with a very welcoming attitude. His two girls who operate the kitchen and house were really friendly. You are free to wander the estate and take in the ambience if the place. They are halfway through building a development with a bar and restaurant and wedding centre hopefully to be completed by May next year. Given what we experienced I can only see this being very successful. Resende is a bustling town with a few good restaurants including Gentlemens, just 6 minutes drive from the Quinta. The estate is 75 minutes from Porto and ideal for a relaxed weekend. …
