We found this delightful pet friendly hotel by default. We were travelling to Porto and had a flat tyre near Chaves, which needed replacement overnight. Everyone was so helpful so helpful with our predicament and we found d this hotel on Booking.com. Luis, the hotel owner welcomed us with open arms, showed us to the delightfully rustic hotel and room reflecting the rural setting. As we settled in, Luis bought us a Port & Tonic as we watched the sun set over the valley. He prepared a very tasty dinner accompanyied by a choice of wine. We kept pinching ourselves and counted ourselves very fortunate to have made this unplanned stop. Was so sad to leave in the morning to collect our car. But we'll be back - .... no doubt.

What's not to love - we wished we had stayed for more than 1 night.

This is a beautiful 17th Century farmhouse with panoramic views of Nantes and far exceeded our expectations. Our room was wonderfully decorated, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Our fabulous dinner consisted of 5 courses of traditional Portuguese dishes and was exceptional value for money. The staff were very helpful and the proprietor went out of his way to make us welcome and was very informative and obviously has a passion in providing an excellent stay for his guests.

Nothing. Everything was superb.

What an amazing place to stay! The 400 year old house has been lovingly restored and is full of quirky and characterful details. Luis gave us such a warm welcome, including some lovely wine. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful. We had the place mostly to ourselves and enjoyed relaxing in the living area by a cozy fire in the evening. We only regretted not having a chance to buy some wine or have dinner as our stay was quite short.

There were some odd quirks to the rooms that might not suit everyone - e.g window going from the shower box to the bedroom in one room.

Great very fresh breakfast served by this wonderful lady who was amazing and provided all of my requests! Brought my own home cooked dog food which they refrigerated and I had access to it! I have stayed here for the past four times when I come to Chaves and I love the owner and the place is stunning, a gorgeous farm on a slight hill with a gorgeous view

I really enjoy it! This is a gorgeous rural property! It has a nice pool, they do weddings and it even has its own chapel! Beautiful!

The location was fantastic and was also part of a working farm. The rooms were excellent and the host was very welcoming and was interesting to talk to. We were allowed to walk around the farm at our leisure and included a walk up the hillside to get a wonderful view of the sunset . Overall we really loved our stay here and would thoroughly recommend it as long as you can put up with the laid back atmosphere.

After a long day's travel it was a bit disconcerting to arrive to find no-one in reception to check in with. We were lucky to find a member of staff near the kitchen who found us a key to our apartment. 3 hours after our arrival we met our host as we were going out to get a meal.he immediately offered to arrange to feed us despite the late hour and the fact he and his staff were preparing for a wedding the next day

Lovely old building. Host was wonderful in trying to meet your needs. The place was awesome to visit. Breakfast was wonderful. The host had a fire going in the fire pit at night with an outstanding view of the valley below.

The place had lots of steep steps but the host did have one wonderful room for older, less mobile people. The whole facility was cold.

We visited when the three gentlemen who rode their scooters from Porto were visiting. It was the most charming and fun evening we had while visiting Portugal. The three gentlemen were keen to tell us about Portugal through the unfiltered eyes of people who were not guiding tourists through the countryside. Our host was wonderful, exceptionally knowledgeable about the wines and olive oils produced in the Chaves region. He was also able to give us tips about what to see in Chaves before we left the area. Our dinner was tasty and good, cooked, again, using produce from the region. All the grooms in Quinta de Mata were large, clean, and comfortable. Before leaving, we had a typical and filling Portuguese breakfast.

I cannot think of anything that we did not like.

The traditional style and character of the Quinta and the views of the surrounding countryside. There were beautiful antiques and lamps, the bed was very comfortable and we had use of a kettle and the pool if we wanted. Breakfast was really good and available at a time to suit us. Luis was very helpful and booked us at the local restaurant, a short drive away.

We were offered an upgrade, but not told until checking out, thatg we would be charged extra.

This was a wonderful stay, we only had one night and wished we had more time here. The hosts were fantastic and extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. The food we had was superb both the dinner and breakfast. We plan to return later in the summer with our family.

Everything was superb

We had a really lovely 2 night stay. We had the evening meal both evenings which was fantastic and really good value. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely terrace to enjoy a beer / wine. A quirky hotel but would definitely go back.

Bathroom is basic but completely functional.
