Also in AFAR.
...an 18th-century manor house on a working Douro Valley winery that combines classic charm with contemporary interior design and up-to-date boutique-era comforts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The estate sits among terraced hills along the south bank of the Douro River, just minutes across the water from Peso da Régua.
The rooms
Giant oak wine barrel suites sit directly in the vineyards, outfitted with circular skylights for stargazing and private terrace decks.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
Sun loungers line the outdoor saltwater pool, looking across the lawn toward the hillside vines.
Wine Bar & Tasting Room
Tasting flights and white port tonics are poured at the wooden counter against wide views of the valley.
At the table
Regional dishes from Trás-os-Montes are served beside floor-to-ceiling glass in the dining room, or at long outdoor tables.
How it began
Named for Mariana Pacheco Pereira in 1738, the estate still preserves an original 1758 granite boundary stone marking the Douro demarcation.
