Tras-os-Montes, Portugal hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful property for a relaxing stay. We loved the down time at the pool. We played games in their game room and enjoyed breakfast every morning. The staff was very kind. The views are breathtaking. Thank you! "

"Very nice, new and well designed family-owner and operated place offering a boutique-type personalized experience. Beautiful view, close to the Quintas for visits. Highly recommended."

"It was lovely, quiet and convenient to the boats. "

"Quinta Nova is a beautiful Quinta in spectacular surroundings. It is very comfortable and the service is impeccable - probably the best welcome of any hotel I have ever stayed at. The restaurant was also excellent - with enough choice for 3 fabulous meals even though the menu didn’t change during our 3 night stay. The walking trail around the vineyards is superb and a real highlight of our stay. "

"Staff at the hotel were superb.. I read some of the comments about five star hotel in previous reviews while the hotel itself may not be a five-star the staff and the service is easily five-star… I laugh at some of the comments…. if you want little slippers and matching housecoat, look like a prince and princess, then go to Palace… the meals were suburban with the first class chef from Brazil… when I came to the restaurant bar you couldn’t want more for service and quality…. awesome place for a weekend getaway… so inconvenient to get to some of the winery for tastings, but make the best of it…."

"Great stay"

"Consider the price, very reasonably priced. The rooms are small, bathroom even smaller. 10min walk out of the main town in a slightly grubby area but very good value for the price. Plentiful breakfast. No coffee or tea in the room. No safe."

"Apartment was modern"

"The views are unbelievably beautiful! I traveled with a friend and we had two units w/ balcony next to each other - perfect for us. Be prepared for driving on windy roads with tight turns, but definitely worth the drive. Katia was a wonderful hostess for breakfast, always with a kind word and a smile. "
