Style Hidden high-concept quinta
Setting Vine-studded Douro valley
The only way to describe this high-concept luxury hotel in Portugal’s Winelands is ‘extraordinary’. Set across two incredible villas hidden away in 400 hectares of sprawling private vineyards on the banks of the Douro River, a stay at super-stylish Quinta dos Sonhos – Romaneira's Portuguese name – is carefully stage-managed to ensure you experience the high life in the imaginative interior and the spectacular setting. Hand-picked character antiques, quirky objets d’art have all been hand-sourced around the globe by its inspired owner, Thierry Teyssier resulting in the ultimate Douro dreamland.
