We had a very restful stay at the Quinta, though it not an active farm. The swimming pool was great. We didn’t have a car but Carmen was kind enough to pick us up from station. We walked to the conservation village of Quintandona, which took about 15 minutes along the road, where there is a great wine bar serving tapas. It would be too far to walk to railway station regularly if you wanted to go into Porto, though certainly a better option than driving into the city if you have a car.
