Quinta do Vale da Ermida

 

Quinta do Vale da Ermida was born in 2008, as a result of a dream of entrepreneurs who found the perfect terroir for a wine tourism project in the wonderful Alto Douro Wine Region. Classified by UNESCO in 2001 as Heritage of Humanity, sits a landscape that is the result of nature’s charms, men’s effort and imagination in its transformation.

 
 
 
 

Quinta do Vale da Ermida is located in the Corgo’s river margins, half way between Régua (13km) and Vila Real (10 km), and inside the perimeter around the vineyards that in 1756 Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo - The Marquês de Pombal - was carefully demarcated by 335 large rectangular, flat, or semi-circular granite markers – called Feitoria as the place with the highest quality wine, the only that could be exported to England, commonly known as “Port Wine” from what was the first demarcated and regulated wine region in the world.

2 sundecks and an infinity heated pool

 

Two fabulous balcony/sundecks with a total of 250 m2 with a privileged view over the vineyard, the river and the wonderful and with direct access to the 180 m2 of the infinity heated pool deck.

Spectacular views across the valley.
The surrounding area is now a fully protected area under Portuguese law and UNESCO rules, providing privacy and tranquillity.

 
 

If you would like to enjoy a more active holiday, you can walk through the vineyard. You may also find many fantastic, signposted trekking and cycling trails nearby. In addition to the pool, it is also possible to relax, swim or boat on the river with direct access from the vineyard.

The villa, a cozy wine hideaway that integrates the existing heritage and nature with modern architecture provides an atmosphere of discreet luxury, natural beauty, peace and tranquillity. Modern clean lines, a strong emphasis on white throughout, with a profusion of wood, steel, concrete and glass create an inspiring and unique experience. 

 
 

The Villa is built on two independent spaces - main house and studio - in three levels with a minimalistic interior.  The studio can also function as an event room with direct access to the 150 m2 infinity pool deck. There is also an old wine cellar, which out of the harvest season, that becomes a multifunctional space for dinner, events, workshops, etc.
