Best Farm Stays and Vineyard Hotels - Douro Valley

In Paços de Gaiolo, Portugal, about 40 kilometers along the Douro Valley to the east of Porto, Quinta da Bouça is a very lovely escape to nature, with 16 hectares of woodland, fruit orchards, and vegetable gardens along with a seasonal outdoor pool and barbecue facilities. They have four spacious and comfortable self-catering cottages to rent, all with kitchen and lounge with flat-screen TV and WiFi. And guests are welcome to wander through the woods or gardens, pick up some fruit or vegetables and maybe meet some of the friendly Garranos horses, a rare breed of horse native to Northern Portugal and Galicia, Spain, which roam freely around the property. WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY: “Location is breathtaking, very special place. Items left in the fridge for making breakfast and fresh bread dropped by the door in the morning. We didn’t meet the host but they were always very quick at replying and check in and out smooth and easy. Would come back again….” “ Lovely hosts who made sure I got whatever I needed. It was restful, quiet, and peaceful with stunning views of the surrounding hills. And their estate wine was complementary. 😋 I had my own pool and washing machine and wonderful privacy…..” >>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE REVIEWS & TO BOOK YOUR STAY AT QUINTA DA BOUÇA:   READ MORE
