Quinta do Monte Travesso - Country Houses & Winery

Clean, simple, perfect in every detail, great staff and great wine. absolutely to recommend and to come back (maybe few days more)

nothing

Stunning views, delicious wines & olive oil and the owner Bernard and winemaker Daniel were extremely friendly and willing to share their enthusiasm for the Quinta!!!

Nothing

The view and setting on the vineyard are excellent.

this is a renovated stone building and we travelled when the weather was colder, so we’re glad of the electric heater and used the wood fire each night.

everything amazing! loved it so much! we will be back for sure :)

nothing, it was just perfect

The house is private with a fenced garden, perfect for our large dog and was so well stocked with the essentials it easily outlasted our stay, everything you would ever need was provided even a free bottle of wine from the Vineyard. The fresh bread delivery every morning was unexpected. The bed was so comfortable, probably the best bed of our tour of Portugal. The location and the views were just stunning. We plan to go back.

The setting was beautiful, overlooking the vineyards with a view of hills and mountains in the distance. The guesthouse was very well appointed and suitably rustic for the location, and the surrounding buildings and features were lovely. We loved it and thank the staff for all the touches they added to our stay!

The road in and out was a bit hard to locate initially, and also narrow and winding for a little distance. Of course, when you’re in the middle of a working vineyard, that is to be expected and adds to the overall charm.

We wanted a quaint but fulfilling getaway in Douro Valley. We spent part of our honeymoon at this property and are thrilled that we did. The views are incredible. The cottage we stayed in had a kitchenette, a living area with a view and a porch that was hard to leave. This stay requires a drive and the closest restaurants are about a 15-minute drive but if you bring a few items for meals, it simplifies the travel. Anywhere you stay in the “mountains,” a remote experience is expected. We loved Edna, who runs the property.

The only drawback is finding drinkable water. Maybe we missed it? Also, this is just luck of the draw, but people stay in RVs in the parking lot right beside the cottage, which is no bother other than the loud dog that barked all night.
