The Area: In Valpedre, between the vineyards of the Douro wine region, just 40 minutes from downtown Porto. Guimarães is 34 km and Braga: 47 km.

The DNA: Hotel Rural Quinta das Quintães is a charming hotel with a long history as a farm house with several agricultural products, including wine having been produced here on the 4-hectare estate. The restored building of granite -characteristic of the region-, mixes comfort, design and elegance with a rural setting and the traditions of the region. There is a bar/lounge and a cosy restaurant which serves regional produce, with fresh ingredients from the own vegetable garden. In the morning a breakfast awaits (✅ included in the rate). Also, inside, an inviting lounge awaits while outside, enjoy the large lush garden with many nooks to enjoy a book or a picnic, the seasonal swimming pool or play a round of mini golf.

Suite-Me-Up: The 10 rooms are distributed over two floors. They are decorated in a contemporary manner and come with a flat-screen satellite TV, a safe and a minibar.
