Hotel Rural Quinta das Quintães
A rural quinta built for pool days and hiking straight from the door
About this stay
Hotel Rural Quinta das Quintães sits in Valpedre, on the edge of Penafiel, in the kind of grounds that make the property feel closer to a country estate than a conventional hotel. The pool terrace opens onto a view over the surrounding hills, and the wider grounds run to a fitness centre, sun terrace, lush garden and an outdoor play area alongside a games room for evenings in. Rooms are family-sized with garden views, minibars and free WiFi, and the daily continental or buffet breakfast covers special diet requests. Hiking and cycling routes leave directly from the property, and it sits within reach of golf courses in the wider Sousa Valley, making it a natural base for an active countryside stay rather than a single-night stop.
- Pool terrace with a view
- Fitness centre and sun terrace
- Outdoor play area and games room
- Free private parking
Our take
This suits families and golfers wanting a rural base with a pool, garden and play area that keep children occupied while the grounds and nearby courses handle the adults. The hiking and cycling routes from the door add real value for active travellers. Anyone wanting Penafiel's town centre within walking distance should choose a different property, since Valpedre sits outside the compact core.
- Request a garden-view family room if travelling with children for the extra space
- Bring hiking or cycling gear, since routes start directly from the grounds
- Ask reception about nearby golf course access if that's part of the trip
Why we love it
- A pool terrace with a hillside view
- Hiking and cycling routes from the door
- A dedicated outdoor play area for children
- Free on-site private parking
