Soak up the peace and tranquility of this rural 18th-century property Quinta da Agraceira from the terrace with a sunny breakfast overlooking the river. The abundant green landscape boasts more than a hundred species of centuries-old camellias and chestnut trees.
Between Porto and “Alto Douro Wine Region”, both classified as UNESCO World Heritage, “Quinta da Agraceira” is a magnificent property with 50.000 m2.
You can enjoy a unique view over the Douro River, just from 10 kms from Porto city.
The property has also an 18th century manor, with a beautiful chapel, a swimming pool and lush vegetation, you can visit Porto and, at the same time, enjoy the beautiful tranquillity of Douro River country side.
With more than a hundred species of camellias (more than 200 years old), and old chestnut trees, along other species, is truly a unique place.
The historical centre of Porto was classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and Porto has been elected “European Best Destination 2017” (the third time that the city receives this distinction).
With its special charm, simultaneously modern and authentic, Porto has many things to offer: monuments, architecture, cultural heritage, cultural life, museums, esplanades and other open air leisure spaces as well as green spaces, along river bank and sea shore. At night, you can also find entertainment and leisure at its bubbling streets, esplanades and bars. If you are a food lover, you have plenty restaurants to choose from: welcome to what Lonely Planet called “Portugal's food capital”!
To the north you find the Douro Valley - recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage since 2001 and the oldest demarcated wine region of the world (since the Roman occupation, for some 2.000 years). It is also a must-see!
Douro Valley cultural landscape of outstanding beauty is “representative of the full range of activities association with winemaking – terraces, quintas (wine-producing farm complexes), villages, chapels, and roads”. Its main product, since the 18th century, port wine, is world famous.
Can access: the swimming pool which has a small fully equipped kitchen, barbecue and full bathroom; to the river using the available kayaks or fishing because there is an ancient anchorage; gardens and paths within the farm; free parking
We live in the main house of the farm and we are happy to help in any way we can! We want to ensure a memorable stay!
