Everyhing. The breakfasts were superb, evening dinners (three courses with apperitif, wine during and port afterwards) were both amazing value and superb home cooking. (Fish, pork, beef). Miguel and his family were kind and attentive hosts. There is nothing to say about this place that is not good. It is a wonderful and relaxing place to stay. Well done Miguel!!

It was out of season and the hotel was extremely quiet. It was just a one night stopover and the weather was appalling.
Staff were very helpful and breakfast just as we ordered.
Located in the centre of Tabuaço, this residence features air-conditioned rooms with a private balcony. The hotel has a spacious breakfast room and a bar decorated with colourful mosaic tiles.
Stay more than one night and explore: it pays dividends.
Stay more than one night and explore: it pays dividends. Have a look at Favaios and try the Cooperative's Moscatels, walking in the hills, go and see the palaeolithic art (about an hour away). One or two nights is not enough, especially if you include port tasting too! And there is always the poolside to relax when you dont want to do anything!

The area is just beautiful, stunning.
The area is just beautiful, stunning. There is a sense of awe that overcomes you and the natural surroundings... probably because how narrow the roads are and how high up are. It is worth the drive and the wine and olive oil in the area are exquisite.

One of the most beautiful places in the World.
One of the most beautiful places in the World. Don’t miss this area. Stay out of the large city.
A vineyard hotel up high would be the perfect place. You’ll be able to drive through wonderful small villages in your way. Once in your hotel you’ll probably have access to a great personal or very small tour of the vineyard production facilities. We were invited to walk in the vineyard all we wanted. Views are absolutely amazing. We also stayed at the Barrel hotel which was touristy and filled with buses. Get up and away from the tourist crowd. We drive there Valley by car. It was easy and gorgeous.

Lovely region where you can explore vineyards and nice food.
Lovely region where you can explore vineyards and nice food. It is worth doing a wine tasting with visit to know the details about wine making and the varities of grapes. The landscape is exquisite and you feel an inner peace looking down the Douro river and the vineyards. The people are warm and happy, always ready to help. It is better to go by car to enjoy the full potential of the region. Be prepared to drive on hills with many curves and narrow roads. They also produce olive oil and it is delicious!!!

I spent there 2 nights, went for a boat tour, tasting in one of the vineyards and stayed in another. The Valenca do Douro is just stunning, I couldn't stop taking photos! It was a weekend trip, so 2 nights after spending 2 nights in Porto were just perfect. If travelled for longer we would probably do more tasting in more vineyards to see differences in the processes of wine production and longer day trips from the vineyard that we stayed at.

Quinta da Corte is an idyllic location and perfect for chilling and enjoying the environment. The views are stunning especially from the
swimming pool. we did the wine tour which was truly excellent, we learned so much and really felt the tour was personal to us as we were the
only ones doing it. The food was very good, especially the breakfast and the picnics which they bring to you by the pool and of course the
wine with dinner was excellent! The hotel feels like it was built with love and is run with it too
This is a very special place. The Quinta has been very well refurbished with lovely interior designs by Pierre Yovanovitch. It has the most beautiful views overlooking the vineyards and the Douro River. We had a room in the main building of the hotel which was very comfortable. Enjoyed our time by the infinity pool where you can sit under the trees looking out at the view. Very friendly staff. Liked the way self-service coffee, drinks and snacks were available. Breakfast was very good. Great wines.
I loved the decor, location, food, and insight winery. strolling the vineyard and gardens in the morning was dreamy…the decor so unique…the views magnificent! the communal table and farm meals were amazing. We loved getting to know other guests at meals. I truly appreciated the designer touches to the whole property. it made it really romantic, yet unique compared to other boutique hotels in the area. A perfect blend of old and new. I also loved wandering the vineyards in the morning.
The location of this hotel is stunning! A few years ago the property was renovated, and the architect at a fabulous job with the winery, the end, and the seamless freshwater pool. Breakfast is very delicious with plenty of options. and the staff were extremely helpful. Two of the three nights first day we ate dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed it. Staying here was the highlight of our trip, and yes, we would return. Thanks so much for making our anniversary special!
People. Never seen hosts like Miguel & the people around him. It's like when we are at grandma's house. There's always food and wines. Wines were amazing, dinners were out of this world cooked by Miguel as well. There's a genuine care on everything. Never visited same place twice but we are considering it now. And mostly because we simply want to visit them again. Don't expect a standard commercial hotel. This is a very unique guest house with genuine local people.
Everything. Lovely large accommodation. Bedroom, sitting room, bathroom. Good views of vineyard and pool. The owners kindly allowed us to park our motorbike in the courtyard. But also had good parking to the side of the hotel. I would recommend having the evening meal. Great food of top quality and unlimited drinks at a great price. Breakfast was very good too with quality ingredients. Staff and owners very friendly and helpful.
I really enjoyed the personal service and the fact that the whole vibe was very friendly and the business family run. The shared dining experience made it interesting as we got to speak to other guests which we might not do in a larger hotel.
The food was tasty (especially the pumpkin balls :-) ). We were also given lots of lovely wines and ports. Miguel explained everything and was very personable.
•A well thought & well designed hotel with a beautiful
Douro valley view.
•Dining at Côrte was simple but lovely & delicious, it was as exceptional as its wines.
•The staff was quite helpful and kind.
•Wine tour with Francisco was like one in a life time.
Overall, we had a great time over there. It worths all the effort you put Côrte team. It really makes difference. Keep going.!
I recently had an amazing experience at a vineyard hotel in Portugal. The staff was incredibly friendly, the views were breathtaking, and the boutique feel added to the charm. The food was delicious, and the selection of excellent wines was a highlight. It was an unforgettable stay that left me wanting to return in the future.
Our host is so welcoming. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hotel. It was served family style which gave us an opportunity to meet and interact with other travelers from around the world. The food, wine, dessert and port were all excellent. This was one of the nicest places I've stayed at in quite a while.
A super friendly reception by the host, welcome drinks at 19.30 with the other guests, very animated dinners around communal table. This was hotel no.11 on our trip which was meant for relaxation, and it did. The region is a cultural heritage of unbelievable beauty.
* Cozy room in a beautiful wine hotel with delicious breakfast and winery tour/tasting included
* Charming staff included a very fun wine tour leader, Afonso. Most spoke great English
* Breathtaking views from the winery of the Duoro Valley
Staff is very friendly and felt like not being in the typical hotel.
Dinner was prepared by the property for 30 Euro per person which includes three course meal with wine. It was really good.
Morning breakfast was excellent as well.
A charming hotel located on a wine farm. Very helpful and friendly staff. A large, clean pool. Fantastic wine and very good diners. Very good breakfasts. Located in a wonderful little village.
a really beautiful Quinta with great rooms, great location and friendly staff. They were so helpful when an inconvenience (unrelated to the hotel) arose. A perfect stay
