Quinta de Santo Antonio

What an extraordinary place! High, high, high up in the Duoro Valley, the views from our room was truly stunning...I don't think you can get closer to heaven! Carlos, the proprietor was amazing, with so many recommendations from winery tours to "tipico" restaurants. I wish I could go back and stay for weeks instead of just the two nights. Home cooked breakfasts, great hospitality, comfortable cozy room, great pool area, and views like you won't believe. What are you waiting for...book it now!

This is a great place to stay particularly if the weather is really good but it is a little isolated. The views are stunning and the host is good company. The food is excellent home cooking and all the guests eat together at a long table. This is not a restaurant so it is a limited menu. I loved both the meals we had here but my wife did not enjoy the second meal because she could see the suckers on the Octopus, this didn't bother me it was yummy! You must let the host know in the morning if you wish to have dinner that evening. The breakfasts where very good and wholesome. If you do eat somewhere else in the evening it is a bit of trek to the nearest town. I would certainly stay here again and hopefully we will be luckier with the weather.

We spent two very enjoyable days at Quinta de Santo António , which is a family run , tastefully designed Quinta in the heart of the Douro with stunning views. We found the accommodation to a high standard, making for a very comfortable stay, and also really enjoyed the hospitality of our host and the wonderful home cooked meals that were served each evening. It was also somewhere where we had the opportunity to get to know our fellow guests and this made for some memorable evenings. We would both come back here when we are next in the Douro.
