One of the most spectacular views for Douro Valley, Quinta de Lamelas is a quiet and peaceful place, perfect for a restful holiday. Lamelas is situated amongst high vineyards, olive groves and almond trees at the top of the property. It has one of the most spectacular views in the Douro Valley and is in a remote and tranquil setting.
The house is part of a 135 acres vineyard property, Quinta de La Rosa, owned by a family that has been shipping Port Wine since 1815. It is 2 km from Pinhão, 29 km from Peso da Régua and 136 km from Porto airport. There is a small supermarket, a baker and two butchers in Pinhão where you can buy most things. From the small village of Gouvães there is 1 km of unpaved road until you reach Lamelas. This road is narrow with a vertical drop on one side - not for those who suffer from vertigo but well worth it when you arrive.
The house dates from the 17th century and was restored to the highest standard in 1992 with many original features being retained. Accommodation consists of a double sitting room, with carved and painted ceilings, dining room, 2 twin bedrooms and 1 double bedroom, all having en-suite bathrooms/shower rooms and a large fully equipped kitchen.
The swimming pool (12x4 m) overlooks the Douro Valley and is surrounded by shaded eating area with tables and chairs, barbecue and lawn. During your stay, join us at La Rosa for the tour and wine tastings or have a meal, upon on previous request, on our terrace overlooking the river.
