From the beginning, everything was perfection at Quinta Da Marka! Angela met us at the Ferrao train station with two vehicles to pick up our 8-person group, then whisked us up the hill to the quinta. The doors opened to stunning views, which immediately drew us out to a spacious terrace for surveying the spectacular Douro Valley from above. After touring the quinta, we sat for welcome drinks in the living room with Angela, who shared the history of the quinta and provided QDM wines and snacks. Every single wine was delicious!!! Too bad we cannot get them in the USA! Come prepared with space in your suitcase to take home some QDM wines. Our group then enjoyed a delicious and satisfying dinner in the dining room before retiring to the lower level game room for more conversation and entertainment. Our rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast the next morning included eggs cooked to order, meats, cheeses, fruit, jams, bread, cereal, yogurt, juices, teas and coffee in the enclosed, heated terrace with sunrise views over the Douro. Angela arranged a private river cruise for us and provided free drop-offs and pick-ups at the train station as needed. When we arrived back at the quinta on the last train from Pinhao, kitchen staff was waiting for us and prepared food (we chose omelets from the menu) before they left for the night. The remoteness of the quinta is a supreme part of its ambiance and beauty. The building, the terraces, the pool and of course the views in every direction are simply gorgeous. We did not need a car, as the staff always ensured that we had delicious food and drinks on site and rides to and from the train. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quinta Da Marka and would love to return!

Many breakfast choices, good coffee all while enjoying the terraced Mountain View’s. We really loved the feel of the stone walls and the beautifully carved furniture.

One of the most amazing and stunning places I’ve ever been to! Views of the Douro, the vineyards, the orange trees… it is just wow from start to finish! Thanks for such an unforgettable experience!

The breakfast was way beyond our expectations. I have traveled quite a bit and I must say that the value for this property is unbelievable.
