It consists of one hectare of vineyards that extend over 19 terraces. The presence of olive trees is also significant, some of them centenary. It is the ideal place to relax with family or friends and live a genuinely rural experience. The house - an old cellar from the late 19th century - has been completely rebuilt. The predominance of schist, the traditional stone of the region, as well as the architectural solution allow the building to merge into the landscape, respecting local rules and the environment. It has a swimming pool inserted in the middle of the vineyards from where it is possible to enjoy a breath-taking landscape, which happens from any other point of the farm, including the house itself, whose torn windows make the sunset and dawn magical moments. There are two patios, a large stone table and a barbecue. There is no meal service, but some food is available at the arrival.The olive oil produced with the olives of the farm can be consumed during the entire stay.

Nature and surroundings

Quinta das Fontainhas is located in the heart of the Douro - World Heritage Area and Ecological Reserve - at about 500m altitude, overlooking the Douro Valley. An information pack - about wine tourism suggestions, private boat trips, cultural, gastronomic and sports programs - will be given to guests at the check-in. For nature lovers and tracking there are several trails to be explored in the surrounding areas and other outdor activities.
