Our Story…

Like all great journeys, ours began with curiosity. As a family of travelers, we arrived in the Douro Valley with no expectations—only to find a place that felt instantly like home. Captivated by its history, culture, and wine-making traditions, we set out on a new adventure: to restore Quinta de Santa Clara and honor the stories woven into its land.

Now, this special place is part of our family’s story, and we invite you to make it part of yours. Whether through shared moments over a glass of wine or quiet reflections in the vineyards, we hope every guest leaves with a deeper connection to the Douro—its past, its present, and its timeless beauty.

Our Project

Restoring Quinta de Santa Clara is more than a renovation—it’s a commitment to preserving history while creating a truly special retreat in the Douro Valley. Every detail is guided by a deep respect for the land, its stories, and its wine and brandy traditions. As we breathe new life into this remarkable property, our vision is to offer travelers an authentic and immersive experience—where heritage, nature, and hospitality come together in a place of timeless beauty.
