    Excellent breakfast with bread straight from the local bakery. The restaurant "Toca de Raposa" in the village is outstanding. Great wines from the estate too.

    The views from every room over the Douro Valley are spectacular, makes you want to just curl up in a chair and sit and stare at it. Excellent breakfast - lots of fresh fruits, yogurt, meat, cheese, bread to choose from and delicious hot...
