MORGADIO DA CALÇADA

We were so surprised by what was hiding behind the entrance door to this stay. A non descript metal door opened onto the cutest gravel courtyard and beyond that a lovely vineyard. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. We decided last minute to join other guests for dinner and a wine pairing. My gluten free diet was accommodated and the food was amazing. But more so was the experience of touring the historical family home and dining by candlelight. Hearing all about the wine from the owner/wine maker was the cherry on top. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal.

This was a beautiful place to stay. The room, the vineyards, living and dining area and outdoor spaces were all lovely and peaceful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, we were not able to experience the dinner service as we arrived on a Sunday and this is the day off for the chef. Our host, Manuel, was very helpful and gave us a history of the estate as well as local information and recommendations. One thing we were not aware of was that our arrival was the same day as a local holiday celebration. The festivities included a concert and fireworks just down the road which made it a bit difficult to sleep, so perhaps be aware of this holiday if traveling through Provesende in mid June. We only stayed for one night, but wish we could've stayed to experience more at Morgadio da Calçada.

Eine Oase der Ruhe! So ein schöner Ort in den Weinbergen.!!! Zimmer top mit gute Matratzen und Wasserkocher für Tee/Kaffee. Der Wein vom Gut war mega lecker, auch das Abendessen ein Erlebnis! Auch def Pool war herrlich und wir kommen gerne wieder. Das Personal wie der Eigentümer super freundlich!!!

A beautiful winding road takes you to this unique restored vineyard guesthouse. Lovely walks and a delicious breakfast were enjoyed.

The property is managed by a family who have owned the vineyard for generations. The rooms are in one of their renovated stone buildings adjacent to the villa. The rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable. You can enjoy dinner and a wine tasting in the living room with cozy furnishings and a warm fire. Make sure you get a tour of the old wine production in the lower level of the villa.

A wonderful experience. The family pride shows in everything. Good food, quiet intimacy and very lovely accommodations in the quaintest and friendly village possible. If life is good to us, we’ll get to come again! Evening sunset in the vineyard is pure magic. Be sure to try the wine, too!
