Quinta de Fiães

We had such a wonderful three-night stay in June. We were looking for a place in the Douro Valley that would be tranquil, relaxing, a bit in the middle of nowhere, with dinner options we wouldn't have to drive out at night to a restaurant. We couldn't have picked a better place than Quinta de Fiaes. It is a small, family-run operation so very intimate and chill. All the other guests that were there seemed to also be looking for a similar type of quiet, relaxing experience. There were also a few really cute and friendly dogs around which added to the intimate family atmosphere. The property itself is lovely and looks exactly as pictured online. Loved having the pool and adjacent grassy area to relax with a glass of wine. There's a great view by the pool and you can go for a walk through the vineyards down to a river. Location-wise, this quinta is a bit less central than some other places closer to larger towns, but that is exactly what we were looking for -- a rural escape. Because of the off-the-beaten-path location, it was very convenient to have dinner service available every night. The home-cooked, family-style meals are prepared by Bruno's mother-in-law and everything was delicious, including their house wine which they serve to the guests. Bruno is the consummate host, so hard-working and hospitable. He remembered our name and every time we saw him he would ask if everything was okay or if there was anything we needed. You can tell both he and his mother-in-law (and everyone else in the family) put so much thought and love into their work to make sure their guests have a wonderful stay. Thank you, Bruno, and the whole family, for such a lovely three-night stay in the Douro Valley. It was as wonderful as we imagined it would be!

We rented an apartment for 2 nights. The accommodation was beautiful and pristine. The views over the vineyard and surrounding countryside were wonderful. Bruno and his staff were so welcomong and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. His suggestions for a day out (despite variable weather) were invaluable as was his restaurant receommendation for our trip back to Porto. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

What a fabulous place! Bruno, Ana Maria and the family are passionate about their farm and about making your stay special. We had to cancel our booking last year because of a breakdown, but so glad we kept our decision to stay here, not only for their hospitality and accomodation, but the beuatiful area close to the Duoro Valley. Bruno recommended a trip which we hadn't planned enabling us to see some special landmarks. We had dinner their each night, prepared by Ana's mum Laura. This was such a treat consisting of pre dinner drinks, nibbles, 3 courses and their own produced wine. A great place to stay if you want a relaxing rural stay. Thank you all!

Stayed here as part of a cycling trip, wow this place didn’t disappoint. The owners were so friendly and helpful, it was like a home from home only better. On our 14 day tour this Quinta was the jewel in crown. Food, wine, standard of room was sublime, highly recommended if your in area, our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer, but will hopefully return one day.
