Absolutely nothing to dislike

Second time here, the place is absolutely amazing. Huge property surrounded by vineyards, beautiful old main house full of history (there’s even a chapel inside), plus three separate villas. We stayed in the main building and were lucky to be the only people there on a rainy Monday and Tuesday in October. It felt like visiting family in the countryside. There is a garden and all the fruit and vegetables come from there, everything we ate (and we ate a lot) was amazingly fresh and tasty. Fernanda, the hostess/chef/housekeeper is such a lovely warm and genuine person, she’s definitely what sets this place apart from other similar places. Make sure to book a dinner there! We are already planning our next visit.

The scenery and views were phenomenal. This is a very peaceful place. The dogs are great. We loved Ronaldo! The casita de piscina was quaint and comfortable. The dinner brought to the house was absolutely delicious and cooked with love. But, the very best part of our stay was meeting Fernanda who just loves people and is so warm and welcoming. She is a wonderful person and makes the experience staying here over the top!

Fernanda and family were amazing, what a service and what a great breakfast and dinner that they served us! The Quinta is also very well maintained with a great swimming pool, great gardens and vines!

Everything was great

We stayed in the 3 bedroom house in the vineyards which was beautifully done out and very light and modern, different to rest of accommodation on estate which was more rustic but also looked lovely. Each bedroom has a huge en-suite bathroom (2 bedrooms are on a lower floor) and there is a big lounge/kitchen area with views over vineyards, it far exceeded our expectations. Wi-Fi worked ok too. We cooked for ourselves and there was a good supermarket within about 15 mins drive. As other reviews have said Fernanda was very hospitable and provided us with dinner at short notice when we arrived late. We had fresh bread delivered every morning with fruit, yoghurts etc for .breakfast. The pool area is gorgeous, as are the views and the whole atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxing. Would love to go back

My husband and I had such a great time at Quinta de Guimaraes. It was at the end of a long trip so it was very nice to have a place to just relax for a few days. The facilities are great - we stayed in the main house and the room was spacious, there's a nice pool and plenty of grounds to walk through. Our host, Fernanda, was absolutely amazing. She greeted us as we arrived and made sure we got settled and was very accommodating throughout our stay. And her cooking is amazing. We ate all our meals here and would not have done it any other way. A very nice stay in the Douro Valley.

This was our second trip to our favourite place in the Douro Valley. We simply love the estate and the kindness of Fernanda - this time we picked raspberries with her and her family. Cherries were also in season so we got to enjoy them fresh from the trees. It was warm enough to swim and lounge around by the pool and we came prepared with tennis rackets and balls to make use of the tennis court. We stayed in the vineyard house both times and enjoyed warm nights out on the porch overlooking the vineyard and valley. We love it there so much it’s hard to leave even for day trips along the Douro River. It’s just somewhere you want to stay. We’ll no doubt be back.

Everything was absolutely wonderful - the rooms were very nice, cosy and clean, friendly dogs around the property were gr8 fun for our kids.. But the best part was Fernanda's cooking. You should definitely order dinner there. It is fresh, healthy and delicious! I almost cancelled our stay due to bad weather. But I am very glad I did not 😃. Breakfast perfect as well. The best stay in Portugal. Recommend to everyone, will return for sure some day.

Fernanda was the on property host. She and her sisters Rosa and Lucia were fabulous. Fernanda went out of her way to make our stay the very best.

Nothing! Everything was perfect to the extent that we stayed an extra night because we didn’t want to leave!

Everything about this place is charming. Our cottage was cosy and warm, with a fireplace. It had ample space, and the lovely grounds of the vineyard and farm were beautiful to walk around. But the best part of all was Fernanda, who brought us a delicious and hearty lunch and dinner each day, and who is some kind of angel of a human being! Thanks Fernanda!

We had a fantastic time. The property is lovely, a beautiful location in the valley with stunning views. The best part about our stay was Fernanda. She is a very friendly and fantastic cook, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the property each day. For dinner, we enjoyed the roast beef, roast lamb and cod for each day with fresh vegetables and fruits from the garden. All cooked to perfection and massive portions. There is an honesty bar at the pool and we enjoyed lovely wine made by the vineyard. You can get a taxi from Ermida train station so very easy to get to the property.

We had a fantastic 2 days! We stayed in the swimmingpool house: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen/dining/livingroom. It was a clean and spacious apartment. Breakfast and dinner was served in the apartment which was great with our 2 small kids. Fernanda is such a lovely, warm hearted woman and she made us feel right at home. Her cooking is also superb. The grounds are spacious and there is a lot of entertainment possible for kids: pool, tennis, volleyball, basketball, pingpong. And the views are beautiful as well. It is a quiet area so you can really relax. Our kids (3yo and 1yo) felt very welcome and we had everything we needed for them as well. Best place we have stayed at in a long time and we wished we could have stayed longer.

A dishwasher would have been convenient (but as a service Francesca took our dishes to the main house and returned them the next day, how lovely!). We would also suggest to lend/rent out new tennis rackets and tennis balls. That way they remain in good shape.

We loved this accommodation. The beautiful main house and our cosy country cottage, the surrounding garden and estate, the swimming pool and our lovely host Francesca! She was warm and caring and a wonderful cook. With her team she offered us a variety of dishes and delivered them to our cottage. The estate also offers good wines.

Quinta de quimares is such a beautiful place! In the middle of the vines. A nice swimmingpool with a great view over the vines. And the best of all: our host Fernanda! She made us feel very welcome and she is a great cook. She uses all kinds of vegetables from the garden. We would love to go back again in the future.

Very special location and Fernanda was an amazing hostess. We opted to have a home cooked meal one evening which Fernanda and Sophia cooked and served us. It felt very special and we would really love to return again.
