About Quinta Durius
Daily breakfast is included at this stunning holiday farmhouse for 12 with private pool, gym, wine cellar and dramatic views over the Douro River Valley, only 1 km from village shops and restaurants.
Breakfast is included in your stay and it is also possible to request for other meals to be prepared for your family or group, as the mood takes you: either by a local cook or a private chef. Quinta Durius produces its own table wines which you are welcome to taste during your stay.
One of oldest demarcated wine regions in the world and a Unesco World Heritage site since 2001, the Douro Valley is very peaceful most of the year round, apart from three bustling weeks at harvest time each autumn. Yet there is plenty to do for wine enthusiasts as well as the rest of your party: vineyard walks and picnics, winery visits and wine tastings, boat trips along the Douro River, a historic train ride, exploring the traditional gastronomy, grape treading at harvest time.
Originally built in the XVII century, this property is steeped in history and whilst the interiors reflect this, recent renovation works have added modern day comforts to the ancient building.
