Quinta Das Escomoeiras

We chose Quinta Das Escomoeiras for the opportunity to stay at a working Portuguese vineyard and get a taste of life in rural Portugal. The property was just gorgeous! Beautiful landscaping, views and old world architecture. Fernando, our host, walked us around acres of his property, telling us about the grape vines, cherry and other fruit trees, his organic vegetable gardens and the importance of the river at the base of the hilly property. We tasted wines on the patio overlooking the lush gardens, pool and vineyard. Fernando, shared the history of the Quinta and how it came to be “Quinta Das Escomoeiras.” We felt like we were visiting with family.

Leaving!

Everything was perfect.

Stunning property in a quiet beautiful location. The views and sound of the owl across the valley at night was amazing. We hired bikes from Fernando and cycled along the Tamega railway line. Fernando is a fantastic host and we loved his organic wine produced on the premises. The food was great too. We hope to be back one day.

The amazing location, charming room and beautiful garden. But most of all: the wonderful host Fernando. Thank you so much for taking so good care of us.

How short our time was here! Next time, we’re staying much longer :)))
