I stayed here in February for 3 nights with my wife, 22month old daughter, and in-laws. Of everywhere we stayed in Portugal, this was by far the most amazing accomodation! Arthur catered to our every need, which included bringing us samples of the estate's wine while we relaxed in front of the fire (which he lit for us every day).... More

great place to stay if you want a comfortable inn with history and a family touch heritage. Arthur is the perfect host: is kind and present but not intrusive. The place is in the middle of a rural area but a short distance by car from Braga, Guimarães and, even more important, from Ferrugem and São Gião, two of Portugal's... More

This was definitely the best place we stayed during our two weeks holiday in Portugal. Arriving is already a treat as the scent of ripe grapes start to clean your mind while oranges fell of the trees ready to be eaten. You can feel the rich history of the Quinta immediately as soon as you step inside. This 18th century... More

Although it was early April and the weather was not spectacular, we had two great nights at this Quinta. We had looked it up before on tripadvisor and it held up to our high expectations. The host and owner Arthur was very friendly and made us feel at home instantly. The breakfast was terrific. Arthur shard many stories with us.... More

We had comfortable and charming accommodation in the rustic style "doll's house" apartment. The property includes a lovely swimming pool, vineyards, fruit trees and gardens. An ample breakfast was served in the main house and featured delicious... More

We recently had a wonderful 3 night stay at Quinta da Cancela, at one of the Modern Rooms with an extra baby bed for our 3-year old daughter. Pros: - The service was definitely 5+ stars, it was something really special and personal. Arthur and his wife really went extra miles to help us and make us comfortable. I enjoyed... More

We travelled for 23 days in Portugal and stayed 5 nights at the Quinta da Cancela. It was a memorable experience. Although we enjoyed all the places we stayed, this Quinta stands out at the top of the list, and a place we must return. Arthur's enthusiasm and extreme helpfulness were highlights our our stay. One day after touring, he... More

Since one of the main reasons you would find yourself in this area of Portugal is Wine, where better to stay than a traditional quinta that produces its own Vinho Verde using traditional techniques? We were made to feel very welcome in a home that is overflowing with family history and has been restored to an incredibly high standard. Our... More

I must addmit traveling abroad with two small toddlers can be somewhat challenging however the MOST rewarding thing ever experienced in a lifetime! Especially when you find a gem like Quinta da Cancela and the jewels like Arthur and his wife are! We flew from Venice to Lisbon and spent a few nights there. Than moved up Northern Portugal with...
