Perfect in every way! My mom and I stayed at Quinta Nova on the final night of our Portugal vacation and were soooo glad we did - our only regret was not staying for 2 nights! Beautiful property with amazing views of the Duoro River and Valley - there were several cozy living rooms throughout the guest house to enjoy while reading, playing cards, or relaxing. Our room was spacious and sparkling clean, and had an enormous bed that was heavenly. Lovely on-site restaurant that is nice for a lunch or dinner splurge (appreciated the vegetarian options available), wine tour and tastings, wonderful free breakfast, and extremely attentive staff. I appreciated the attention to detail such as pick-up and drop-off at the nearby train station, note and chocolates in our room upon arrival, etc. There weren't many hotel guests during our stay, so we really loved the peaceful and relaxing ambiance of Quinta Nova..especially after the hustle and bustle of Lisbon and Porto. I imagine it's probably a bit busier during the summer, when the weather is warmer and the pool is open. Highly recommend!
