Quinta do Rio, located right in the middle of a
beautiful ecological area, is often considered a true
paradise. The refreshing ‘Tamega’ river flows alongside
the entire length of our property. Due to its natural
current, there are no mosquito’s to be found!
 Quinta
do Rio was once a traditional wine farm (Vinho Verde)
with large wine terraces.
The camping facilities are therefore unique and
versatile. You can choose a spacious camp site on one of
these many terraces…right between the vines. The large
plane tree / mimosa / cork oak / chestnut trees account
for shady spots. If you look closely you can see the
hops, nightjar, kingfisher and even an otter.
Have you ever considered pitching in a Tipi, to
experience the true Indian (holiday) spirit? Kids (ages
1 – 80) just love it! Furnished with 4 beds, wardrobes,
open fireplace and kitchenette, the tipi’s are as
comfortable as they are fun! In order to enjoy maximum
privacy, each Tipi has its own terrace with table and
chairs. It ‘s also possible place an additional, smaller
tipi / igloo.
An old granite cistern (7mx4m) is currently used as
natural swimming pool. As is our wide Tamega river. It
has a small natural dam, which causes to have little
current on one side and a fast current on the other
side. The Tamega is also suitable to kayaking (kayaks
can be rented), or just to float around.
If piece of mind and heart is what you’re after. There’s
no better place to lay your hat. You will be amazed. If,
on the other hand, you’re in for some action or culture,
you will have a hard time dividing your time between all
this region has to offer!

Quinta do Rio is located right in the middle of
