Find 3 Star Hotels in Sabrosa from SAR 233

"If you are looking for a vacation location that will refresh your soul, this beautiful vineyard getaway is the place for you! Set in the tiny Village of Provesende, this gorgeously renovated stone hotel overlooks the gentle rolling hills of the Douro Valley. The hotel and working vineyard have long been in the family of the charming Manager, Maria Pinheiro da Veiga. She was an absolute delight to talk with and gave generously of her time and knowledge of the surrounding tight-knit community. We were particularly interested in some peace and quiet after almost 3 weeks touring Italy and Portugal and we found this location a balm for our travel-weary souls. Avid bird watchers, we were entranced by the beauty and impressive variety of birds we could see and hear clearly as there was virtually no traffic sound at all. After we arrived, we sat and enjoyed the beautiful birds for 3 hours before we heard one motorbike drive by. It was sheer bliss! And so was the food! We had the best traditional Portuguese meal prepared on site by their wonderful chef and served to the melodious tunes of Fado over the sound system. They have a beautiful swimming pool, but it was still too chilly to do more than sit by the water and enjoy the fresh air and simple beauty of a place almost untouched by time. Five Stars aren’t enough! "

"We had a wonderful stay at Morgadio do Calcada. It has been the highlight of our trip to Portugal - and there were already so many impressive moments! The property is a manor house at the edge of Provesendes run by the 18th generation of the household. The lodge is in a newly renovated part across the courtyard from the main house, surrounded by vineyards and a citrus grove. The rooms are modern with a very spacious bathroom. The owner, Manuel, is amazingly warm. He hosted the dinner the night we dined there and shared a lot of insight on his family and the range of wines he produces from his old vines. The reserved red was stunning, so was his white port. His staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. The village itself is UNESCO heritage protected - charming, walkable, and probably has not changed for 500 years. The church bell still rings to tell the villagers time, and a small bakery opens for a few hours in the morning to supply the village with bread. There is a cafe, a restaurant, and a bar. But the laid-back lifestyle means they may or may not be open when you arrive... You must have dinner there one of the nights. Also, if you get a chance to tour the main house, do it. It's like going back in time..."

"Very nice property "
