About the host
Hosted by The Owner/Property Manager
Filipe and I are a team, he is an agronomist and I am an event manager, we have been married for 42 years, he is Portuguese and I am English, we live most of the year near Lisbon, but love the Douro, on average we visit the estate once or twice a month but leave Jõao our estate manager to assist, he is a wealth of knowledge and his son is a local GP.
Why they chose this property
The area is like a trip to nature, the property has been in the family for many years, we inherited it from our aunt and uncle, our aunts grandfather came to Portugal with Eiffel to build the Maria Pia Bridge in Oporto, he liked Porto so much he stayed and married, his son bought this farm and started producing Port wine, now days we do not make Port wine here but we do produce the grapes for it, along with grapes for red and white wine, which we do make on the farm alternatively.
What makes this property unique
The area where the farm is located is unique, apart from Sunday when the bells toll for mass you can take a step back in time as there is no noise pollution, you can see stars at night, take walks with bumping into other people and appreciate the beauty of the area which is still very traditional, you might even say rural. Once a year at the beginning of August is the village party which last for 3 days, with bands, folk dancing and lots of church processions.
