The Home
Commanding a stunning hilltop location overlooking the breathtaking Douro Valley region in Portugal, this historic quinta (traditional Portuguese mansion/villa) was once part of an extensive monastic estate. It stands tall at an impressive height of 700 meters where the views of the surrounding landscape are truly awe-inspiring. Today, spanning a sprawling property of 43 hectares, you can explore vineyards and hundreds olive trees to get you in the mood for an authentic Douro experience.
The villa itself is a reminder of the glory days of times of old, combining old-world charm with modern amenities and comforts. The interiors are spacious, well-lit, and lovingly decorated with some antique details balanced with more contemporary furniture and a modern flair throughout.
The outdoor area is equally impressive, featuring a large, heated swimming pool, a sun terrace, and an outdoor dining area, perfect for al fresco...
