A little slice of paradise, so peaceful.

A lush garden with palm trees, banana trees, fruit trees (lemon, mandarin, apple, kiwi, pomelos, grapefruit), a grapevine, a beautiful lawn, bougainvillea, and lots of flowers, all meticulously maintained by the owner.

A small, period chapel on the property.
The houses are tastefully decorated by Karen and David, the hosts, and equipped with quality amenities; nothing is lacking.

The swimming pool is perfect for relaxing.
The owners are incredibly welcoming and attentive.
They offer excellent advice on places to visit and restaurants to try.
In short, we felt right at home and would have loved to stay longer.
Thank you for this wonderful time spent at your place; we will be back!

We stayed at this country estate at the beginning of July, and it was by far the best experience of our holiday.

The estate features several houses and rooms, all beautifully renovated to modern standards and tastefully decorated.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the warm welcome and trust extended by the owners. Karen and David are wonderful hosts—genuine, caring, and always up for a relaxed end-of-day drink at the large stone table. They love sharing their own Quintas de Ribas Vinho Verde, a crisp, naturally fizzy wine that's perfect for l'heure de l’apéro.

The garden is also stunning, with lush greenery that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into the tropics.

It’s also a great base for visiting nearby cities such as Guimarães, Braga, and Vila Real. Also the Douro Valley is quite doable for a day trip.

We looking forward to come back again here.

Before I forget. Let's avoid platforms like Booking and Airbnb, and book directly instead

Fantastic stay at Quinta de Ribas , lovely clean rooms & facilities. Lush gardens , very tranquil . Great hosts Karen & David made us feel very welcome. We will definitely return
We recommend this place where there is a feeling of tranquility and well-being. Superb swimming pool in lush nature, what greenery! Our cottage was very cozy and tastefully decorated, everything exudes cleanliness, nothing was missing, we also enjoyed the barbecue on its shaded terrace.
Very nice tennis court. The location of this Quinta allows you to explore the Douro Valley, go on beautiful hikes, see Porto, etc.
The owners are super friendly, very welcoming, and always available. If you want to recharge your batteries this is the ideal place, I end with the calm that reigns in this place!
Thank you for this wonderful week!

This place is just magical and the owners are adorable 🧡
We had the chance to spend our holidays at the Quinta, in this captivating, calm, unusual place and to meet Karen and David, the owners of this Eden full of life.
The service is simply perfect, but beyond that it is a real bond that is created with Karen and David who both radiate joy and laughter constantly.
The place is calm, peaceful and rejuvenating, everyone finds their own little quiet corner where they can spend their holidays alongside nature, birds and their adorable dog Kayla 🧡
Between the birdsong, all the trees, flowers, fruits and natural springs, you can only relax and rediscover what serenity and harmony are.
We really appreciated the confidence bar made available, the swimming pool and its deckchairs for a little sunbathing and refreshment as well as the grandeur of the place to simply discover in order to escape a little among the rich vegetation 😍
Our cottage was spotless, comfortable and decorated with good taste. If we wanted to stay alone and quiet in the evening we stayed in our little corner of paradise and if we wanted to enjoy an evening of discussion and laughter with the other tenants and owners we would join them!
In addition to being a captivating and relaxing place, the garlands that light up the Quinta at night make the place even more magical 🥰

Thank you Karen and David for your welcome, thank you for your kindness and for your optimism and thank you to this incredible place.

We will come back for sure!

Magical place due to its decor and its location.
It's quiet there, the mountains and nature are close.
The walks and visits are around a 40-minute drive and are plentiful.
The owners, for their part, are friendly and naturally kind.
What a pleasure this moment spent in these places.
I highly recommend it.
Personally, I would go back.
