Quinta dos Três Rios Bed & Breakfast
This magnificent Quinta (farmhouse) was built by an Englishman in the late 1800´s. The house is built of fine granite, partly into a terrace. The high ceilings on the ground floor at over 4 meters keep the house cool even on the hottest of days. The original features have been retained in a beautifully authentic restoration.
The 3 suites located in the top of the house incorporate the original pine beams giving a true “wow” factor. A fine oak staircase accesses the river suites. The large sitting rooms with comfy sofas give genuine feeling that you are at home! The 3 suites on the ground floor, with their original 3-meter pine shutters, are accessed from the reception and have a real Portuguese theme.
Should you wish to join us for dinner (cooked by our daughter Caroline - ex pastry chef at the Michelin starred Glasshouse at Kew), this can be booked in the morning. For those interested in wine we have a 1.9-hectare vineyard!
This is rural Portugal. Parada de Gonta sits between the Caramulo Mountains and the Serra da Estrela mountain range. Within a 15-minute drive the enthralling old town of historic Viseu where museums, wineries and locally produced crafts are found. The markets in Tondela (Monday), Viseu (Tuesday) and in many of the surrounding small villages are always colourful and full of bargains.
The university city of Coimbra with outstanding architecture and internationally renowned shops is only 45 minutes away. A stop off at Fatima on the way to Lisbon is a great day out and certainly recommended.
