THE ESTATE
A door to Douro
On the slopes of Douro, with a noble view over the river, lies the house and the vineyards surrounding it. It is an agricultural farm where traditional and organic production methods are used, with vines, fruit trees, yards with vegetables and herbs, and various garden areas.
The house, built by filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira, was recovered by the current owners. Restoration work was done respecting its original features, with a modern architecture component, providing harmony between its space, nature, and a panoramic view.
A charming corner in a region renowned for its cuisine and wines. Land of silence only broken by the leaves of the vines dancing to the sound of the Douro breeze and the fresh water that falls from the fountain.
Located in São Tomé de Covelas, in Portinha. This place gives its name to the wine produced on the property. A wine drained of sweat and the work of the owning family that takes care of the vineyard in a loving way in order to produce an excellent wine.
The property's house works as Local Accommodation throughout the year, being fully reserved. Guests have a private swimming pool and enjoy the fruits, herbs and vegetables of the season, for consumption during their stay. The farm is fenced and provides complete privacy.
