Morgadio da Calcada Douro Wine&Tourism

This is a unique property that has been in the same family since 1530. The vineyard is great place to relax and take in the natural beauty if the surrounding. The wines and port are excellent. Try the dinner with wine paring.

Wonderful experience The Morgadio is a family-run vineyard with attached, recently renovated guest rooms. Definitely do the dinner with wine pairing! The owner, Manuel, places a premium on quality and authenticity. We were honored with a tour of the centuries-old family house and dinner in the estate's dining room. Breakfast was wonderful including fresh omelets. Not a mass-produced experience!

great place

Beautiful location Beautiful hotel in a remote village in the Upper Duero, surrounded by vineyards. There are a few rooms around the main family house. The restaurant offers a ser menu and wine tastings. We arrived late and were offered some tapas only. Food was ok. The place is awesome, and service is top- class. Recommendable if you’re in the area.

Manuel and his staff were welcoming and helpful. We arrived too late for dinner. But were offered a lovely glass of wine, which we enjoyed on the grounds under the evening stars. The room was lovely and breakfast was delicious. At check out, we received a complimentary mini bottle of wine and suggestions for traveling towards Porto. If you have a car, the drive through the valley is stunning. You can’t get an experience like this in the city or at a commercial property. Highly recommend!

We booked the Nogueiras premier double room. This is located at the rear of the main property with the room opening out onto the vineyards and nearby swimming pool. The room was of a good size and comfortable. More or less as described in the on-line sites. Good AC and WiFi. A good breakfast is offered. There is also the option of dining-in together with a wine tasting of the wines produced by Morgadio da Calcada - this we did. The diner was fabulous with the dishes presented and explained by the chef. Ditto the wines which were presented by the owner. Well worth the additional cost. There are several hectares of vineyards at the property with open access to guests. Great to stroll through on those warm balmy afternoons. We did not get to use the outdoor swimming pool as the weather was cool and somewhat changeable at the time of our visit. There is free off-road parking for guests. The property is located on the outskirts of Provesende, a small village to the north of Pinhão and the eastern Douro valley. This is the heart of Port and the Douro wine region. Provesende is a great base if you plan to visit this region of Portugal. One note of warning: The property does not accept credit card payments. This came as a bit of a surprise as my booking was made through one of the larger hotel booking organisations which take your credit card details as a booking guarantee. Payment by cash or with bank-approved cards are accepted. We would not hesitate returning again if visiting this region of Portugal in the future.
