Quinta Das Escomoeiras

"Stunning property in a quiet beautiful location. The views and sound of the owl across the valley at night was amazing. We hired bikes from Fernando and cycled along the Tamega railway line. Fernando is a fantastic host and we loved his organic wine produced on the premises. The food was great too. We hope to be back one day."

"The amazing location, charming room and beautiful garden. But most of all: the wonderful host Fernando. Thank you so much for taking so good care of us."

"How short our time was here! Next time, we’re staying much longer :)))"

"The location, the quietness, the ecological footprint, the host, the wine tasting and the local recommendations."

"The old, small, cracking bed in our room, other rooms might be better fitted. But just as a minor detail."

"Absolutely lovely and well maintained property, with beautiful surroundings. Fernando is a wonderful host. We loved everything and we hope we can go back soon."

"There’s nothing we didn’t like. Everything was perfect."

"The Quinta is a magical tucked-away place. We were warmly welcomed by Fernando offering a 'welcome drink' which turned out to be a bottle of his delicious wine and a large plate of cheese and charcuterie - a meal really. We were the only guests and enjoyed relaxing by the pool and swimming in the river. The river is dammed and deep, perfect for a proper swim of several 100m. We seemed to have the whole river to ourselves (except for the fish and the herons).The nearby cycle path is a bonus and there are reasonable bikes for guests' use. Breakfast was delicious and we were able to enjoy it on the terrace. The whole stay was just really relaxing. We didn''t want to take the car out once we got there and we were able to have a small barbecue in a summer kitchen area near the pool. I think I panicked Fernando by asking if I could stay for ever!"

"The following didn't bother us but guests should be aware: The Quinta is quite remote so I'd say it's more a place to go to relax rather than to use as a base for sightseeing. I'm sure Amarante was as quick by bike on the amazing (and direct) cycle path, as it was driving by car through all the hairpins. Also Fernando offers snacks but not cooked meals. That's fine for one night but eating out does require a longish drive on narrow windy lanes ( I think there's one cafe between there and Amarante). A possible solution is barbecuing as we did but this isn't an advertised facility so check if that's important to you. Also sauna and steam room mentioned on the website didn't seem to be in use - again this didn't bother us, the last thing we wanted to do was sit in a sweaty box when we were in such a beautiful place. We had a beautiful antique bed but it was very creaky!"

"Fabulous position in the Tamera river valley. Very beautiful property & area. Fernando is a genial & interesting host."

"Enclave impresionante, vistas del valle, tranquilidad, amabilidad de Fernando y todo el personal. Recibimiento con productos elaborados en la Quinta, vino, aceitunas, aceite, compotas de frutas. Una maravilla!"

"Gostamos de tudo: instalações/quinta, vista, serviço, piscina e atenção/dedicação por parte dos funcionários a diferentes níveis."

"O pequeno almoço foi bom mas poderia ser um pouco mais diversificado e também variar um pouco de dia para dia."

"A localização da Quinta é fantástica. Há muito espaço e até pequenas trilhas na própria Quinta, ideal para quem viaja com criança. A piscina foi uma das maiores atrações. O café da manhã é excelente, com sucos e frutas produzidos na própria Quinta. As funcionárias foram sempre muito simpáticas e solícitas, e Seu Fernando é um excelente anfitrião."
