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 :)

Amazing find. Loved the history of the property and the fact that they use vegetables etc from their own garden in their restaurant. Dinner was wonderful. The room was huge and furnished with period furniture.

We arrived to Quinta da Mata at 9 pm. Once you pass the gates and you park the car there is the sound of the sheep and crickets with the lights of Chaves as landscape. If you arrived stressed and tired this is the place to relax! We were promptly received by Luis that gave as a warm welcome. The dinner was marvelous and the winery of Luis is the place were you can buy great wines for a great price. The Olive oils are also amazing. The staff couldn’t be nicer... we were supposed to stay one night, but we love it so much that we stayed longer. The place is dog friendly! The experience was that good! A place to come back!

We liked the sheep, hens, cherry trees and rural atmosphere with an outstanding view over the city. The host was gracious and informative.

What a unique place! We loved the warm welcome, the uniqueness of the place, the wine, the owner who spent so much time with us, the animals around and collecting the eggs we had the next day for breakfast! Thank you for a lovely stay! If you want to have dinner there make sure you let them know in advance.

Loved the property and place it situated which was outside of the city. You could not get better host than Luis - he is attentive and helpful in any way possible and beyond, he knows about the region, permaculture and wine. Surroundings of the Quinta are gorgeous and so are the furry friends. And breakfast was excellent, too. Everything went really smoothly.

Great location on a farm/mata. Louis was great host, showing us his farm and the area history. I loved the house and our large room. Great being a small 5min drive from Chaves.

The Quinta da Mata is,frankly,exceptional.From the welcome we received,when we first arrived, to the warmth of the lady who prepared our final breakfast-which was outstanding,both in quality and variety-the professionalism and friendliness of the members of this community is second to none.
