    Our stay was a highlight of our trip. Cristina and Nuno were the perfect hosts, and we felt like friends more than just guests. The breakfast was not only delicious but beautifully presented in a lovely warm dining room. We also enjoyed two lovely traditional dinners which were exceptional. We liked Nuno's port so much that we purchased a bottle to bring home with us. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Our accomodation was very comfortable and the parking was easy and convenient. This is a very special place. Thank you Cristina and Nuno!

    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 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.

    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.

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.
