Quinta do Fôjo surrounded by 9 hectares of vineyards, nicely placed on the top of a hill, only brings me happy memories of my childhood: always surrounded by friends and family. Over the past 4 years it has been a meeting point for old and best friends to be able to meet and enjoy lovely dinners either by the fire place or under a hot summer night with a sky dotted with sparkling starts! This place is magic for me and it only has life when shared with people that appreciate And feels the same as me. We are not a 5 stars hotel, we don't want to be neither. We offer an unique friendly and relaxed experience! We have our limitations like having only 3 bedrooms to rent and 2 complete bathrooms in the house, reason why we are extra zealous on the cleanness! I'm sure this will not be the reason for you not enjoying our space if you choose us! Just try us! The outdoor pool is even on a higher place and the view is just beautiful! All around you are vineyards and mountains on the horizons, a place where the birds come to drink water from the pool on the sun set!
I was born in the Douro valley, Pinhão and after having lived in Madrid and London and being 23 years away from Portugal, my current dream, is to develop the farm on the following areas of wine table production and tourism. Nothing better than a good book accompanied with a nice glass of wine and being surrounded by this magnificent landscape. I feel very happy living in this area and it's a real privilege to me! Like meeting different cultures and I love being able to share this space, that means a lot to me with people who appreciates it.
The farm is surrounded by 9 hectares of vineyards. Peso da Régua is the closest town and it's 2 kilometres away. There is a train station connecting with the city of Porto and taxis.
