Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Located in Guarda, 5.6 km from Guarda Castle, Quinta do Rio Noémi provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.
Guest review
Norther Portugal is remarkable with so much to see and do, but sometimes just taking time to relax and enjoy the tranquility can be exactly what you need.
This centuries old farmhouse just a few kilometers from the city of Guarda is a chance to get away from the stress of travel.
The host met us on arrival and showed us in to this renovated and adapted farmhouse.
Nice large rooms and bathrooms, a communal living room and dining area, and seating outside in the courtyard, all clean and tidy with centuries of history to explore. We honestly felt at home away from home, and chose to spend our time relaxing and wondering the fields around the farmhouse, rather than dashing off to see more of the country.
I have to mention breakfast because it was fantastic, with everything grown or produced on the farm, other than the cheese which came from the neighbors.
We will definitely be revisiting and taking more time to explore the area, with the farmhouse as somewhere to recharge with the welcoming and knowledgeable owners. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Guest review
Everything! From the excellent and detailed wine tasting, the views of the property, the infinity swimming pool with sunset view, the dinner and breakfast service, the painting with wine in their little garden, it was all beyond perfect. Highly recommend Ventozelo hotel and quinta for the best Duoro experience!! Perfect for couples and small groups. We couldn't hike as we were tired but this property has multiple mapped hikes which one can do as an activity.
