Christina and Nuno were amazing hosts. The location and facilities were stunning. We loved having our stay in Covelinhas. It’s about a 15 min walk from the train station, which was convenient to visit wineries etc in Pinhão although the schedule is a bit limited so some planning is required. The dinners and breakfasts Christina prepared were outstanding and some of the best food we have had in Portugal. We can’t recommend this stay enough!

We had an excellent stay at Quinta da Travessa. Cristina and Nuno are very welcoming and make you feel at home during your vacation. The room, breakfast and dinner are perfect - you get the best Portuguese dishes. We can highly recommend this house and will definitely come back.

Truly loved our stay at Quinta da Travessa and would recommend a stay here without hesitation. Christina and Nuno are exceptional hosts, lovely to talk to and go above and beyond to make your stay special and memorable. Lifts to and from the nearest train station, great breakfast and evening meals, quality well priced wines and local port. Very comfortable room, fab shower, mini bar/fridge and terrace Hope to stay again, thankyou!

We loved staying at Quinta da Travessa. Christina and Nuno were lovely, attentive, and informative hosts. We looked forward to our homemade dinners (black spaghetti with shrimp and then roasted pork loin and onions plus salads!) each evening with wine and oil from their own grapes and olives. Breakfasts with Christina’s homemade marmalades and quince guaranteed a head start to each day. Even though rain followed our trip to the Douro Valley, we had a wonderful time and will be sure to return!

Covelinhas is a little off the grid - a narrow windy road about 20 minutes from Regua. There is a coffee shop in the village, but not much else. If you don't have a car then you rely on the train, and the station is about a 10 -15 minute walk.

Nuno and Christina are wonderful hosts who take great pride in providing a wonderful guest experience. The included breakfast and the dinner we purchased were fantastic. The room and property are very comfortable.

It is in an isolated location.

We had a really nice stay at Quinta da Travessa. It is a rustic old farmhouse located in a pretty village on the Douro river. There are no restaurants in the village and it is a long drive on a one lane road to the next town. Even though we had a car, we ate dinner each night at the Quinta. The owner, Christina, was a delightful host and we thoroughly enjoyed the traditional Portuguese dishes she prepared each evening. An old train stops at the village and we highly recommend taking it to Pinhao for wine tasting. In the evenings we enjoyed the pool and watching the sun set on the Douro river.

It was isolated from any shops so bring what you need, there is a train service which is a stunning ride but the times are limited so probably better with a car

Beautiful clean pool, we were made to feel like part of their family, the food was exceptional, all dietary requirements catered for and huge portions, the best meals we had during our entire holiday and so much was home grown themselves. If you want a quiet getaway you won’t regret this choice

Quinta da Travessa was a fantastic bed & breakfast experience. Christina welcomed us to her home and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The house itself was beautiful with historic charm and Christina's cooking was delicious! Breakfast was included and had a delicious spread, including jams made by Christina herself. We opted to have dinner both nights of our stay and were treated to delicious dishes both nights - highly recommend it! If you do choose to add on the dinner, be sure to have cash on hand to pay at check-out.

Location is a little remote so driving is a must but is not easy on this side of the river. Lots or stairs so pack lightly.

Beautiful country home that is authentic Portugal. The infinity swimming pool was perfect for the heat wave we were experiencing with views of the vineyards and river. The bedroom was large and comfortable. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming people who made all the food from scratch.

Christina was a wonderful chef and host. The daily breakfast, any snack, and all three dinners were delicious. She and Nuno were kind and generous, and their property is just beautiful. Their port was a delicious treat!

It was like visiting relatives. Cristina was such an attentive hostess and made us feel at home in her place. She readily shared information about the area and was eager to make our stay enjoyable in whatever way she could. The (green) bedroom was ample size with a comfortable bed and air conditioning. Breakfast was delicious complete with homemade jams made from the fruit grown on the premises. Dinner cooked by Cristina is recommended - we had made reservations for one night but ended up eating there both nights :) Although we did not meet Nuno, we were able to sample his delicious homemade port wine. As others have mentioned, the road to the house is narrow and winding while breathtakingly beautiful but requires a confident driver. The area is spectacular and the host(s) personable and welcoming.

The Quinta is in a little village and overlooks The Douro and has quite nice views. However it was the warmth of the host Cristina, her family, and maid who really made our stay special. Apart from making us welcome on arrival, she provided delicious homemade meals, offered tips on where to visit, and other helpful advice. We took the option of having dinners there, and we had special dietary requirements not always easy to meet in Portugal. However Cristina was able to prepare delicious dinners to suit. She is an excellent cook. It is definitely worth taking the dinner option because it also saves an evening drive along a fairly narrow road. We stayed 4 nights and went off exploring each day, including catching the train to Pocinho one day from the local station in the village, Covelinhas.

Christina and Nuno are amazing hosts. Especially the dinners they prepared for us, they put a lot of effort in making sure you enjoy your stay and it was really appreciated by us.

Everything was good. Perhaps air conditioning in the room we had would be a bonus but we were provided with a fan.

The hosts and staff were superb and made us feel very welcome. Cristina’s dinners were delicious and plentiful. The swimming pool was excellent.

Great breakfast with a great selection of cheeses, hams and jams and delicious fresh bread. Furthermore, fresh orange juice is offered. There is the possibility to have dinner for 25 Euros per person, which is really worth taking. The dishes offered were magnificent. All people working at Quinta da Travessa do really take an effort to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

If you’re not comfortable driving on the terraced roads in the Douro, hire a driver. Don’t let that discourage you from going, it’s a special place.

The Quinta is lovely and the owner’s Nuno and Cristina are amazing people that go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and relaxing. The food and wine and port are outstanding.

A stunning place with hosts to die for 😍. Nuno and Christina go way beyond with their hospitality. Food was homemade Portuguese food at its best.

Didn't stay long enough haha.

The hospitality. I felt like I was a part of the family. Cristina and Nuno (the owners of the Quinta) were above and beyond with their service and I felt very welcomed. They live on the property as it is their own home that's been passed down for generations. They also organized a private tour day with their son who drove me around the Duoro region and also to wineries (Quinta de Crasto was superb). I will be keeping in touch with Cristina and Nuno - view them like my Portuguese ava and avo. I miss them dearly and can't wait to return to show this beautiful inn to my family. Oh, can't forget about the delicious meals Cristina would make me. Breakfast was amazing, but wow, the dinners were exceptional. Best meals I've had during my whole Portugal trip. Can't forget to also share that most of the ingredients used in her food are all grown from her home garden. I can't speak enough positive words about this experience. It was peaceful; hearing swallows chirp in the morning. Their place was so clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable.

Traditional house, very well preserved, with spacious rooms and pool. The hosts are extremely nice and friendly and offer extraordinary service at breakfast and dinner. Lovely little village and beautiful views from the house.

There was a noisy night party in the village square until 2 a.m. The village should pay attention to the night time, usually 10 p.m.- 6 a.m.

Room, swimming pool, parking slot, breakfast, dinner, hospitality.

Everything was perfect, from the moment we got of the train at Covelinhas station (do yourself a favour and take the train from Porto, unique experience) where we were met by Nunu, to Christina’s amazing food, the pool, the wine, the location, the view… Our stay here was simply amazing. It felt like home away from home, an intimate experience so different from larger hotels. We thank Christina and Nunu for the stay, and we hope to come back another time.
