The Quinta, literally translated as ‘Farm’ in English, is home to a family who have been making wine on the estate for 7 generations. Characterful rooms overlook serene, vine coated hills. You are welcome to stay in the Apartment for a private, optionally self-catered experience, or in the Main House for a more pampered stay.
