Quinta da Gricha

We were there for 2 nights. The room does not have a mini fridge so while searching for a place to store two bottles of beer and lunch food I was told I cannot bring my own food here to make sandwiches for a lunch nor can I drink my two beers on their property because they supply and make their own wine and beer (and expect us to buy their product). They will provide you with lunch however for a ridiculous price of 30 Euros each. I told the custodian who greeted us that if I knew that I would not have booked the property since nowhere on their website does it state these rules. He begrudgingly let me use their kitchen fridge and watched me like a hawk while I drank my beer and made my lunch on the common terrace anyway. I did buy a bottle of their red wine for our two dinners we bought. This person really rubbed us the wrong way.

Absolutely amazing stay. Guilherme and Andrea couldn’t have been warmer. Guilherme especially gave some amazing local recommendations and made my birthday very special. Just very warm people. The Quinta itself is very picturesque, high quality and we really liked the mix between high end care and also relaxed ‘at home’ vibe. For example the honesty bar and the local meals from a local restaurant. We felt incredibly comfortable and very happy in our two days here. Truly an experience we won’t forget. Ross and Ivy

Probably the nicest and most idyllic place we’ve ever stayed, this was an exceptionally well kept and peaceful location to stay in the Douro. Telmo was so kind and helpful before and during our stay, as were all the staff. We had an excellent tour and tasting, and we decided to eat in both minus (a good decision). Can’t recommend highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic place with great views and wine. Staff were friendly, a bit of a guest house vibe, food brought in for local restaurant, hearty but delicious. Pool area and balcony were stunning!
