MORGADIO DA CALÇADA

This was a beautiful place to stay. The room, the vineyards, living and dining area and outdoor spaces were all lovely and peaceful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, we were not able to experience the dinner service as we arrived on a Sunday and this is the day off for the chef. Our host, Manuel, was very helpful and gave us a history of the estate as well as local information and recommendations. One thing we were not aware of was that our arrival was the same day as a local holiday celebration. The festivities included a concert and fireworks just down the road which made it a bit difficult to sleep, so perhaps be aware of this holiday if traveling through Provesende in mid June. We only stayed for one night, but wish we could've stayed to experience more at Morgadio da Calçada.

Very nice hotel in the out skirts of town, quiet, situated in an old wineyard with luxury new rooms situated in new buildings. The owner was very charming and engaged. The food we got for both breakfast and dinner was very tasty, and served with a smile from the staff

A beautiful winding road takes you to this unique restored vineyard guesthouse. Lovely walks and a delicious breakfast were enjoyed.

Do not consider anywhere else! Unique experience in this small family run authentic hotel - it’s not really a hotel it’s an experience. Location is unbelievable and it’s a quaint character filled small winery. We loved the wine paired 3 course meal, Manuel welcomed us to this more than 400 year old winery that’s been in his family for generations. Totally recommend for a trip to Duoro it’s not just a place to stay.

A wonderful experience. The family pride shows in everything. Good food, quiet intimacy and very lovely accommodations in the quaintest and friendly village possible. If life is good to us, we’ll get to come again! Evening sunset in the vineyard is pure magic. Be sure to try the wine, too!

We had a wonderful stay at Morgadio do Calcada. It has been the highlight of our trip to Portugal - and there were already so many impressive moments! The property is a manor house at the edge of Provesendes run by the 18th generation of the household. The lodge is in a newly renovated part across the courtyard from the main house, surrounded by vineyards and a citrus grove. The rooms are modern with a very spacious bathroom. The owner, Manuel, is amazingly warm. He hosted the dinner the night we dined there and shared a lot of insight on his family and the range of wines he produces from his old vines. The reserved red was stunning, so was his white port. His staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. The village itself is UNESCO heritage protected - charming, walkable, and probably has not changed for 500 years. The church bell still rings to tell the villagers time, and a small bakery opens for a few hours in the morning to supply the village with bread. There is a cafe, a restaurant, and a bar. But the laid-back lifestyle means they may or may not be open when you arrive... You must have dinner there one of the nights. Also, if you get a chance to tour the main house, do it. It's like going back in time...
