We came over to Portugal having a 45 minutes ride from Oporto to "Quinta da Mestra". Isabel received us with a very warm welcome and uncomplicated introduction to the accommodation: a historic stone house rebuild with an impressive mix from historical atmosphere and modern facilities. We were woken up by the sun in the morning and had a brilliant view over the hills and valley. Spending 10 days over there, we did not miss anything but enjoyed every day by excellent food in the close city, by walks in the hills and at the fireplace in the house. If you'd like to relaxe and enjoy nature, this might be your place.
