The rhythm of life at Quinta do Fôjo is the rhythm of the estate itself - early mornings, slow afternoons, the changing light across the vineyard, the stillness of evenings on a hillside in the Douro. For guests who want more than a tasting and a drive back to Porto, the family welcomes a small number of overnight visitors into the main house each year. The intention is simple: to share the unhurried experience of a working Douro estate with those who want to know the region from the inside.

Two double bedrooms are available, each with its own private bathroom. The rooms are part of the main house - a traditional granite-built quinta whose construction provides cool, naturally ventilated spaces through most of the year, with air conditioning available for the warmest days and mosquito nets and fans on hand if preferred. The configuration of the bathrooms, like much of the house, reflects the original building rather than a modern intervention; the bathrooms are private but not directly attached to the rooms, in the way of traditional quintas across the Douro.

A continental breakfast is served each morning, drawn from home-made products and small local producers - the kind of breakfast that reflects where you have woken up rather than where you might be anywhere in the world. Throughout your stay, we are happy to suggest places to visit nearby. The estate's pool is open to guests through the warmer months - a quiet way to end an afternoon under the Douro sun.

For larger private groups of 6-8 people, the main house can be made available on an exclusive-use basis. This is suited to private celebrations, family gatherings or small groups who would like the estate to themselves for a few days; please reach out via the Contact page to discuss what you have in mind.

Rates

Rates for rooms to be booked on an exclusive basis are quoted on application, depending on the dates of stay, room configuration and whether the booking is for individual rooms or for use of the main house. Stays can also be arranged in combination with private tastings - please mention any specific interests when enquiring and we will be happy to put together a proposal.

To enquire about availability, please use the form on our Contact page. We respond personally and will work with you on dates, group composition and any particular interests you would like the visit to reflect.
