We stayed at this hotel for several days last august. This place is quiet with a remote country feel yet the town of Barcelos is quite close by. Staying here provided a nice balance of quiet relaxation and exploration of the surrounding area. Piers is an informative host and kindly gave us a fabulous tour of the chapel and winery..... More

I've stayed 3 times at Convento da Franqueira and will keep coming back. The rooms are lovely. The house itself is well restored and has a beautiful chapel that is still used for services. The gardens are always gorgeous. Piers and Kate are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Very good value, too! More

We stayed here for two nights in July and absolutely loved it. The quinta is situated on a hill overlooking the small town of Barcelos. We stayed in the Blue Room, which was spacious, beautifully decorated and immaculately kept. The rooms have gigantic windows which open onto a courtyard in the center of the property. We slept quite well and... More

Beautiful and lush setting, gorgeous house and grounds, welcoming hosts and fine vinho verde produced on site. Did I mention the spring-fed swimming pool? We stayed two nights here with our children and wish we could have stayed another month. Will definitely be coming back. More

The first thing you'll see when you get to the Quinta is the Church. The next thing are the gates, and then the winery. Once you get to the house itself, the outside of the convent-come-B&B doesn't look like much, but the inside is very nice. We were given the 'blue room' with a lovely four-poster bed, toile draperies, cherubs... More
