We visited when the three gentlemen who rode their scooters from Porto were visiting. It was the most charming and fun evening we had while visiting Portugal. The three gentlemen were keen to tell us about Portugal through the unfiltered eyes of people who were not guiding tourists through the countryside. Our host was wonderful, exceptionally knowledgeable about the wines and olive oils produced in the Chaves region. He was also able to give us tips about what to see in Chaves before we left the area. Our dinner was tasty and good, cooked, again, using produce from the region. All the grooms in Quinta de Mata were large, clean, and comfortable. Before leaving, we had a typical and filling Portuguese breakfast.

I love this place! It’s beautiful and old! It’s comfortable and relaxing! The people who run the place are friendly and accommodating, and I can bring my best friend with me which is such a treat to find such a beautiful place to stay and be able to bring my dog who is clean, well behaved, quiet and friendly!

We were met by the owner who provided us with a wonderful history of the property and tour of the home and gardens. The home is a former noble manor and looks every inch of the elegance it must have one had. The bed was wonderful, linens superb, and the art and furnishings were sublime. The breakfast was filling and delicious. From start to finish, we could not believe how very lucky we were to have found Quinta de Mata.

Amazing location. Beautiful gardens in the farm. Very interesting house with a story of its own. And just like everyone else here, we say thanks to our host who was happy to chat away for hours. The dinners should come with a warning tho as the portions were huge :)

Great very fresh breakfast served by this wonderful lady who was amazing and provided all of my requests! Brought my own home cooked dog food which they refrigerated and I had access to it! I have stayed here for the past four times when I come to Chaves and I love the owner and the place is stunning, a gorgeous farm on a slight hill with a gorgeous view

This was a wonderful stay, we only had one night and wished we had more time here. The hosts were fantastic and extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. The food we had was superb both the dinner and breakfast. We plan to return later in the summer with our family.

What an amazing place to stay! The 400 year old house has been lovingly restored and is full of quirky and characterful details. Luis gave us such a warm welcome, including some lovely wine. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful. We had the place mostly to ourselves and enjoyed relaxing in the living area by a cozy fire in the evening. We only regretted not having a chance to buy some wine or have dinner as our stay was quite short.

The traditional style and character of the Quinta and the views of the surrounding countryside. There were beautiful antiques and lamps, the bed was very comfortable and we had use of a kettle and the pool if we wanted. Breakfast was really good and available at a time to suit us. Luis was very helpful and booked us at the local restaurant, a short drive away.
