Quinta Manhas Douro

Absolute perfection - huge room, gorgeous views, comfortable bed, clean. Pretty sure I was the only guest on this night but that didn't stop them from putting out a delicious breakfast buffet, including the best fresh OJ I've ever had, and they made me fresh scrambled eggs too, which were delicious and a huge portion. What really sets this apart is the service, all the staff were so friendly (same woman checked me in and out). Close to some local family-owned wineries.

Stayed three nights in deluxe cabin with beautiful view over wine yards and old village. Really peaceful place with reach to good walks and wine tastings. Breakfast,even on northern countries standards was excellent with a lot of fresh fruit.

This was a special place. Very comfortable, spacious, modern room in a separate cottage. Quiet property with spectacular views. Tranquil place. Nice private bathroom. Very helpful staff; great food offered. Very clean property. Made us want to shop for a house in the neighborhood. Can't wait to return there.

Isabel and Elizabeth working the front desk and restaurant were absolutely amazing! So personably, friendly and helpful. We were happy with the room and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom could have had better lightning and hooks for your towels. The breakfast was fabulous...lots of variety to choose from. We ate all our dinners there and very good as well. The location is great and the views of the vineyards and surrounding landscape was breathtakingly beautiful! I would recommend.

Place was run by a cutest elderly couple that gave us access to their apple trees and vineyards such a nice place with the best view on the Dauro Valley

No safe box at rooms, dining experience was a disaster: little food at exorbitant prices, tasteless, waitress was more interested in conducting her own telephone conversation than to serve us, at breakfast, which they only started se ing at 8:30 all guests went together to the tiny self service table, no dessert at dinner - run out, etc, etc.

The location is really out of the way but thanks to GPS we found it! The quinta is situated on outskirts of a small village which is quite charming. Staff was very welcoming and quite helpful. We enjoyed the onsite dinner options and the Quinta's wine. The room was very nice and outside seating along with pool area allowed us to enjoy the beautiful countryside. A suggestion would be to offer guests a complimentary glass of the quinta wine when registering.

We really liked the peace and quiet of this Quinta. We had a deluxe room which had a superb view of the village & vineyards. It had a balcony but no chairs for the balcony were provided which was a pity as we had super weather even though it was March. Sitting on the balcony would have been idyllic. Tea & coffee were provided as well as a small fridge. However it was only one coffee sachet, one decaf sachet and two teabags. The cups were so small that two sips & it was gone. The pillows were excellent, sometimes the quality of pillows let a room down. There is a swimming pool but it was very cold. However as the weather was so hot it would have been nice to have been able to sit around the pool but the few loungers were all broken and unusable. There was an upstairs terrace where you could relax with a pre dinner drink and take in the view. Breakfast was simple, no hot food but meats, cheese, cereals, yogurts and a few pastries. We had dinner and the menu was quite limited in choice. We had a curious mix of turkey twizzlers, tomato & mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, fruit, nuts & seeds presented on a board. A bottle of wine was very reasonably priced. Ours was 13 euros. There is only one restaurant in the village and you have to book in advance. They were only doing lunches when we enquired. Other than that there are two small cafe/bars. This is a lovely place to stay if you want peace & quiet. Only noise was the the birds and church bells which we loved.

Areaand hotel and staff were wonderful
