Quinta do Paço de Calheiros

Fantastic place to stay in idyllic setting. Lovely pool and well looked after by Susanna and the Count

Our two-night stay at Paço de Calheiros was absolutely wonderful. We were met in the courtyard by Francisco, the Count Calheiros. He showed us to our room while giving us a quick rundown of the property and invited us to refreshments on the patio before dinner. He joined us and four other guests at dinner during which he provided an interesting history of the century’s old estate/vineyard and the Calheiros family. After dinner the Count gave us a tour of the castle. The location of this hotel is spectacular: it overlooks the beautiful town of Ponte de Lima in the valley below and is surrounded by vineyards in all directions. Guests have access to the vineyard and the gardens. There is a pool on the property as well. The meals were delicious and plentiful. Our spacious, clean room was furnished with traditional Portuguese pieces, comfortable beds and a modern, functional bathroom. I highly recommend this property and would gladly return if I travel to northern Portugal again.

What an absolute treat! This property is located at a wine vineyard with tons of history of the Calheiros family! We enjoyed walking the vineyard and a tour of the original family home of the Count of Calheiros! Truly a spectacular experience!

Amazing property! Incredible experience.
