Quinta da Veiga

“Meravigliosamente tranquillo e unico”

Abbiamo soggiornato qui per tre giorni come parte di un giro in Portogallo. Non siamo riusciti a trovare molte recensioni per il posto e preoccupata, era un po' lontana quindi non sapevamo cosa aspettarci. All'arrivo tutte le preoccupazioni svanita immediatamente. La casa è assolutamente incredibile e ci hanno fatto sentire assolutamente benvenuto da Andre l'istante che ci siamo andati. L'agriturismo è molto grande con una sala principale, sala da pranzo, sala tv, sala musica//film, biblioteca e 2 sale più piccole. Hanno tutte porte aprono sulla terrazza che offre vedute mozzafiato sulla valle e sul fiume Douro, e una piscina sulla terrazza inferiore. Avevamo il posto tutto per noi, era una vera delizia ed erano in grado di rilassarci nel weekend. La casa si trova in una posizione isolata ma se siamo alla ricerca di relax è un ottimo luogo di essere. I pasti possono essere serviti presso la casa se non volete trek fuori la sera, e sono serviti con i vigneti vini propri. Il servizio offerto da Andre era attento ma non invadente e il cibo locale ha preparato era semplicemente fantastico (e abbondante!)

“Quinta da penada👍”

We had a great time with delicious food and charming hosts. Certainly go there if you want an excellent Portguese Meal. The chef speaks good english and is very helpfull in choosing the right dish with a perfect Douro wine.

“Fantastic views - abysmal food.”

Great views, terrible food! We stayed two nights and the facilities were nice, clean and at decent value for money. The dinner, at 35€, which the estate offers was absolutely horrendous though.

Great views, terrible food! We stayed two nights and the facilities were nice, clean and at decent value for money. The dinner, at 35€, which the estate offers was absolutely horrendous though. Overcooked steak, the wines were nothing else than low-quality and served at totally wrong temperatures, which an estate in the middle of Portugals wine region could definitely improve upon. Breakfast was ok-ish, but very basic. The location is sub-par, as it‘s close to a 30 minute drive from Pinhão were all the major restaurants are, which makes it hard to not choose dinner at the estate.

The location is very isolated but spectacular, the views are idyllic and it is well worth the breath-stopping/breathtaking journey to get there!! The journey is not for the faint hearted but it is well worth it when you arrive at this place but it is perfect for those that want to truly experience the real Portugal. The place itself is raw and rustic but in all the right ways, a little shocking when you first arrive especially if you are used to prompt service and luxurious settings BUT this has so much more than the most flamboyant hotels have as the hosts are so real and hospitable, the venue is old and historic while still being comfortable and homely and the views are second to none. We and did not know what to expect when we got there and you are truly isolated in this hotel, however you can get breakfast and dinner here (there is nothing else nearby) although dinner is not for the unadventurous either as there is no menu, you are served whatever is on offer on the day and do not know what this is until it is served(!!) - but rather than this being a negative (even for me the fussiest of eaters) this is truly part of the charm of the place as the hosts do everything with a touch of class and a lot of care and love. They give food and drink from the heart and you cannot help but fall in love with this place and the hosts. A place well off the beaten track but well worth taking a chance on. · The lack of channels on the tv - we could only get two channels and they were both German which is not ideal for English only speakers!! I hate myself for writing this but you are literally so isolated here the tv is one of the only forms of entertainment - you need to bring a book!!
