Quinta do Vale do Monte

We stayed here in June and had such a wonderful time. I found this Quinta through Trip Advisor and just want to encourage anyone looking that it is such a restful and scenic place to stay. The house and gardens are very beautiful, rooms are spotlessly clean and you have everything you need. The small fridge and kettle in our room was a real bonus. Hosts Rosa and Luis Alberto are wonderful and went to so much trouble to give us little extras! Breakfasts were delicious with such lovely table setting - and all food intolerances catered for. The pool is a great size and lovely to relax. This was our first time in Northern Portugal and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the villages and walking on the beaches. Viana do Castelo is such a gem you could spend a whole holiday there. So many restaurants with great quality food. A car is a must for this area to be able to get around. We loved Viana as so much to do and see with but Braga was also amazing (well worth a day trip). Would love to return and would wholeheartedly recommend for those who love the peace of the countryside and away from the crowds. To Rosa and Luis you were amazing as were Fatima and Maria! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
