Quinta Da Marka

We didn’t want to leave. Quinta da Marka is amazing and couldn’t be in a nicer location. The Terraces are wonderful to sit on. The staff are so warm and welcoming and really made our stay very special. We spent 5 nights and enjoyed every day. There is so much to see in the area and having the train a short walk away was great to go to Pinhão. Thank you to everyone we will return.

My husband and I felt like we died and went to heaven during our amazing stay at this Quinta. It was all so amazing, views of the Douro from our room, the delicious food, the excellent service, and courteous, smiling staff. There are multiple places to sit with a book and glass of wine, including the swimming pool. You can take a short train ride to nearby Pinhoa for shopping and wine tasting. It is an easy walk to the small, local depot, or the Quinta will arrange to drop you off and pick you up on your return. Quinta da Marka also provides excellent wine of its own. Angela was like our Spirit Guide; she directed us to the best the area has to offer. Every night we had dinners prepared by the excellent chef that were truly out of this world. We would go back there in a heartbeat.

Estadia espectacular com staff muito simpático e atencioso. Muito obrigado à D. Ângela por nos ter feito sentir estar em casa. As paisagens observadas são de uma beleza extrema. O facto do apeadeiro do Ferrão estar perto, permitiu chegar ao Pinhao em pouco tempo numa viagem deslumbrante de comboio.

Tudo maravilhoso desde o atendimento até as comidas e o visual é perfeito, recomendo para momentos inesquecíveis a base de bons vinhos e com uma paisagem única

Essa Quinta conta com pouquissimos quartos o que a torna bem intimista e acolherdor e demos a sorte de só ter a gente lá, então estávamos nos sentindo em casa...foi uma deliciia!! Fora a vista que é lindissima e o lugar super tranquilo. Fomos MUITO bem recebidos e atendidos por todas as pessoas que trabalham lá, equipe nota 1000 e que fez toda a diferença na nossa estadia.

Ce petit hotel, tout récemment rénové, comporte 6 chambres et 1 suite.Il est parfaitement situé pour visiter les plus belles quintas de la vallée du Douro entre Peso da Regua et Pinhao.La plupart des chambres offrent une vue magnifique sur le Douro et sont impeccables : literie, propreté,etc .C'est le calme absolu et nous sommes au milieu des vignes. il y a un grand parking privé, car l'accès voiture est quasi indispensable.Il y a aussi une petite gare ferroviaire située à 5 minutes à pied... Cet hotel est situé entre la célèbre Quinta de Crasto et la Quinta Nova, qui font des produits magnifiques, et que je vous recommande de visiter . Angela gére remarquablement bien cet hotel et nous a conseillé très professionnellement pour organiser notre séjour.Elle a organisé nos visites et dégustations .Nous avons d'ailleurs choisi de diner le soir sur place, car la cuisine faite par Milèna aidée de Maria est excellente, et surtout très raisonnable en terme de prix. Quinta da Marka produit aussi d'excellents vins (blancs et rouges) que nous avons dégusté en apéritif et pour accompagner nos repas.On peut évidemment en acheter, car ils sont extras, notamment les cuvées vieilles vignes.... Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir, du fait de cet accueil exceptionnel.

Oh my! Where do I start! Angela picked us up at the train station for quick 5 minute ride to Quinta Da Marka! This quaint picturesque hotel is a Jewel in the Duoro Valley. We only stayed one night but we had a private dinner for 8 and it was simply amazing! The welcome bottles of wine were such a treat that we bought several to take with us on the rest of our journey through Portugal. If you need to decompress and just relax this is the hotel for you. There is a beautiful view everywhere you look, a swimming pool that looks down on the Duoro river and some of the best wine you will ever drink. My only complaint is that they don't ship to the US! Love this place!

Mais um paraíso no Douro. A Quinta da Marka transborda tranquilidade, simpatia, ambiente familiar e vistas deslumbrantes sobre o rio, a partir da varanda e da zona da piscina. O jantar estava óptimo e a monocasta Touriga Nacional e o Vinhas Velhas são verdadeiras “obras de arte”. A somar a tudo isto, a D. Ângela é uma anfitriã fantástica. Altamente recomendável. Por mim, voltarei em breve. NOTAS PESSOAIS SOBRE A QUINTA DA MARKA: O Sol já se tinha posto atrás da Quinta do Crasto e o Douro ia mergulhando, devagarinho, na escuridão. Lá em baixo, o último comboio do dia deixa o apeadeiro do Ferrão e um pequeno barco rasga uma esteira perfeita águas tranquilas do rio. Na varanda da Quinta da Marka vamos acompanhando este deleite com um Reserva Vinhas Velhas, espremido de mais de 30 castas das mais antigas da casa. Não bebemos, porque estes vinhos não se bebem, saboreamos, cheiramos, olhamos, comentamos, e levamos umas 4 horas, com o jantar pelo meio, a fazer desaparecer da garrafa este nectar divinal que mais parece um vintage de Porto. É a isso que sabe e que cheira. O silêncio cai sobre o vale, na N222, do lado de lá do Douro, os carros já quase não passam e sobram apenas umas vozes distantes e as luzinhas do casario da Quinta de São Luiz refletidas no espelho ***** do rio. Despedimo-nos assim de um dia inesquecível.

I totally loved Quinta da Marka! Angela couldn’t have been more delightful and helpful (and fluent in English). All staff on site were SUPURB and friendly, despite language barrier. We were only staying for one night, and didn’t want to leave! The views are spectacular. The view from the beautiful house windows were like paintings! The lovely pool had ample seating and sun beds. The terrace above also had seating. All of which looked over the Douro river. On arrival we were given a tasty Rosé welcome drink. Thank you! Our room (number 7) was fantastic. Very quiet, well equipped and comfortable, with views to the river. We started our stay with a wine tasting session. This was brilliant. The wines were all delicious and served with cheese and crackers. We had a lovely time tasting and chatting. After wine tasting (in my opinion, the best wine we have tasted in the Douro Valley) we headed to the pool to relax and take in the scenery. We had the area to ourselves! We arranged to have dinner at the hotel. This was 3 courses. Very reasonably priced and very tasty. We enjoyed more of the lovely Marka wine! A really special evening, made even better by the good food, excellent wine and fantastic and very friendly service. After a SUPURB nights sleep, we had an amazing breakfast. Angela was very helpful with suggesting places to visit moving forward. Once checked out, we were invited to spend time by their lovely pool. Thank you Angela and your team!
