Quinta Ecológica da Peneda Agroturismo by Peneda ecofarm

This was a fantastic accidental find when online searching for Portuguese rural outdoor opportunities, especially hiking, and great accommodations. Our hosts, the creators of this beautiful place, Elizabeth and Pedro, are bilingual. They are experts at helping find,and transporting to, wonderful Ecovia walks on lovely wooded paths along the beautiful rivers around Arcos de Valdevez. Meals were prepared lovingly by Elizabeth each day from organic fresh ingredients, vegan if you so choose! Best of all , we were so humbled to be treated like family for meals and advice and help in planning. Elizabeth also arranged a great jeep tour of the nearby Peneda’s-Geres National Park. We chose to fly to Porto from the US in order to spend a week acclimating for our trek on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Pedro even planned and the drove us into Galicia for ease of reaching our beginning point on the Camino. All in all this was an extraordinarily lucky experience and one we will repeat! Elizabeth and Pedro are now making available a family biking tour of the Portuguese Way to Santiago de Compostela! It is in our future! Thank you, Elizabeth and Pedro. You are dear to us!

Summer break at Peneda Ecofarm We loved our stay at Peneda ecofarm. It is well located for walks in the National Park and only an hours drive from Porto's airport. There are several natural river pools to swim in with in a 30 minute drive of the accomodation. Which we were directed to by the owners. Our room was modern and fresh with a lovely balcony. The air conditioning was great for night time. The breakfast and evening meals were carefully prepared and delicious with fantastic local vino verde. The local town of Ponte Barca is ten minutes drive away and had some nice cafes and bars. We visited the beach at Viano do Castelo and enjoyed a walk around the old town. We had a lovely lazy day where we stayed at the accomodation and enjoyed the pool. I would definately visit this lovely accomodation and owner/ family again.

Friendly owners. Wonderful breakfast included, and dinner is available if booked early in the day. Wonderful cuisine

Wonderful place near to the Peneda-Geres National Park. Comfortable rooms and very friendly familiar host. We had fantastic home made dinner together with the whole family every evening and got a lot of useful informations for tours in the surroundig. We would love to come back!!!

Everything about our stay at the Quinta Ecologica was amazing. Elisabete and her family are incredibly welcoming and generous. They have restored a beautiful old farm house and are passionate about environmental sustainability and living harmoniously with nature. The accommodations were exactly as described and we found the beds to be very comfortable (a must after a long day spent exploring the national park)! We took advantage of the optional dinners cooked by Elisabete and we were not disappointed! The meals were fresh, wholesome, and very tasty. We enjoyed the nightly conversation and felt like part of the family. I highly recommend Quinta Ecologica Da Peneda and would stay here again.

Trotz extremer Temperaturen empfanden wir die Tour über die kleine Farm als spannend und lehrreich. Im Schatten der Pfirsichbäume beantworteten und Elisabete und ihr Mann sämtliche Fragen. Danach kochte sie für uns und wir unterhielten uns bei einer Flasche Wein in familiärer Atmosphäre.
