Commanding a stunning hilltop location overlooking the breathtaking Douro Valley region in Portugal, this historic quinta (traditional Portuguese mansion/villa) was once part of an extensive monastic estate. It stands tall at an impressive height of 700 meters where the views of the surrounding landscape are truly awe-inspiring. Today, spanning a sprawling property of 43 hectares, you can explore vineyards and hundreds olive trees to get you in the mood for an authentic Douro experience.   

The villa itself is a reminder of the glory days of times of old, combining old-world charm with modern amenities and comforts. The interiors are spacious, well-lit, and lovingly decorated with some antique details balanced with more contemporary furniture and a modern flair throughout. 

The outdoor area is equally impressive, featuring a large, heated swimming pool, a sun terrace, and an outdoor dining area, perfect for al fresco meals. The estate also boasts lovely grounds where you can take a leisurely stroll amidst the lush greenery and soak in the tranquility of the surroundings. 

The villa provides a unique opportunity to experience the Douro Valley in all its glory, from the world-renowned wines to the breathtaking landscapes. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and unparalleled amenities, this luxury villa is the epitome of modern Portuguese farm-comfort, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing vacation.
