Located
in the Douro valley, one of the most beautiful regions in the country,
Quinta de Mouraes is a 50 hectares estate beautifully converted to tourism.
The city of Porto is just 25 minutes away.
From the Quinta guests can easily access some of the most beautiful landscapes man has ever produced such as the terracing of the vineyards along the Douro valley which are well known for the production of the world famous Port wine. The area is now an UNESCO World Heritage site. The
Quinta de Mouraes estate is well looked after and a walk through its 2,5
hectares garden can be a wonderful and pleasant surprise.
The
view from the property is delightful, stretching out for miles of unspoilt
country.
The
house is very cosy and welcoming. Its decoration is typical of a Manor
House with paintings, hand made tiles and tapesties, reflecting the opulence
of past times when agriculture in large estates was indeed a profitable
activity.
