LoginSave

Set on a ridge, surrounded by 120 hectares of ancient vineyards, overlooking the Douro river with mountains layered in the distance, Quinta Nova is simply stunning. Besides 11 plush rooms in a beautifully restored 18th-century manor, it offers romantic grounds, a pool looking out over vines rolling into the distance, a restaurant, and wine tours and tastings.

Also on-site are some of the region's top walking trails – the longest of which is three hours – and a museum with a collection of vintage winemaking gear.
