Douro valley out of this world as so beautiful. Had a most relaxing stay with lots of reading and sleeping in the sun to start our stay off. (Temperatures up in the high 20s just what we needed for Feb as left snow at home). AMazing sandy beaches within easy reach. Janie and Hugh are the most marvellous of hosts... more

Our stay at Quinta Dos Tres Rios was the Highlight of our holiday. The accommodations were wonderful with spacious rooms, sitting areas and a huge stoned patio area that provided a great view of the local scenery. Our breakfasts were out of this world and if requested Jane and Hugh put on dinner for us. It is safe to say... more

We were delighted with Quinta dos tres Rios. It is in a beautiful, peaceful spot, so we were instantly relaxed. The rooms were delightful, the breakfasts just too good. Hugh and Jane were good company and made us very welcome. We thoroughly recommend it. more

When visiting Quinta dos Três Rios near Parada de Gonta there is a treat around every corner. The hosts, Hugh and Jane Forestier-Walker, pay attention to every little detail: from getting perfect directions via e-mail whilst still in South-Africa to booking other perfect accommodation for the remainder of our trip. We booked at Três Rios to do a wine tour... more

My family and I had planned a family trip/reunion to Portugal this year. I wanted to stay in a place that was family oriented, since I was traveling with my husband, my 6 year old son, and my mother. I wanted to stay away from the big city hotels. I came across the Quinta dos Três Rios after an internet... more

In many years of travelling, we can honestly say that we have never come across such a warm welcome as arriving at Hugh and Jane’s off-the-beaten-track lovely old house. We weren’t even booked in, just travelling in northern Portugal looking for places to stay as we went. It made no difference; they greeted us like old friends. An evening of... more
