Calling wine lovers everywhere! This 13-bedroom Douro Valley retreat is your chance to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts surrounded by vineyards and nature’s magic.
The story of this property begins with a quaint Douro Valley Quinta built in the 18th century. The property was once home to the Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, a pioneering businesswoman who is famed for her contributions to port cultivation and wine innovations. In 2005, the Quinta first opened to guests with 5 suites. In 2012, Architect Francisco Vieira de Campos gave form to an additional contemporary building housing a further 8 suites. Today, this Douro Valley retreat offers 13 beautiful suites and enchanting spaces both inside and out for sociable pastimes and, of course, drinking wine!
