Quinta da Salada - Turismo Rural

The pool was lovely and relaxing. The grounds were groomed nicely. The head house staff was so kind and welcoming.

As a traveler without a vehicle, I would never of booked this property. It is very far away from the train station, and quite remote. Walking the grounds isn’t really possible as it has a private entry up a steep road so there was no value in leaving the property without a taxi. The bed was not comfortable, and it smelled like damp mildew in the room. As a traveler who has stayed in vineyards and farm stays, more value could have been added to the trip by providing free bottle water and a bottle of wine for the stay. Instead, everything was à la cart. The concept behind the stay is there, but the small details surrounding it are not, a free transfer, wine, and snack service 24/7 (at least packaged snacks) would have made this feel more like a farm stay and homey.

Exceptional hospitality, sensational location.

Nothing.

Loved the Quinta experience! The beautiful grounds and central location made it the perfect base for exploring the region — just 10 minutes to Régua, 15 minutes to Lamego, and 25 minutes to Pinhão. It truly became our hub for discovering the Douro Valley. The property itself is a charming small Quinta that offers lunch/afternoon meals and dinner by preorder through an easy-to-use online menu. We ended up staying in a couple of evenings because ordering from our phones was so convenient. A wonderful breakfast was also included with our stay — something we somehow didn’t realize at first! 😂 The staff was amazing and took great care of us throughout our visit. The owner was especially helpful, assisting us with restaurant reservations and making us feel very welcome. We would absolutely stay here again.

BF was superb and the service excellent! The place has a beautiful scenery. If you care about scenery only, I recommend this place. Otherwise, is overpriced for the type of accommodation it offers.

The Quinta does not have a private toilet. The bathroom design is an open concept with no door, but only a glass separating the room from the bathroom. Therefore, there is no privacy! The room is small with very little space for luggage. Not a place to sit. Not even a welcoming glass of wine upon arrival. We ordered a board of cheese and cold cuts that was overpriced ($40) for very little food and nothing extraordinary. The hot tub located outside the property was out of order. I was really looking forward to use it.
