Welcome to Quinta da Corte...a two hundred year old winery turned boutique B&B.
Cute, huh?
The hotel is made up of only eight perfectly appointed guestrooms. Pro tip: for a bit more privacy, request a room in the adjoining building.
I love how European hotels aren't scared of a linen bedding situation.
And branding them too. Thought about taking these for my friend and queen, Clair.
The brilliance of Pierre Yovanovitch bringing a comfortable mix of old and new.
Burnt orange...an unexpected color choice, but I like.
No shortage of cozy spots to make yourself at home in.
Custom ceramics commissioned for the hotel...they really need a little boutique where you can buy these cuties.
Perfection.
Poolside essentials emblazoned with the hotel logo. Love a good branded moment.
Where the wine flows like water. But the water is pretty good too.
Vineyard vines vibes.
If we must...
Highs & Lows
-
I’ve always admired the work of Pierre Yovanovitch, so the opportunity to stay in one of his masterpieces was a real treat. The interiors are charming without feeling stuffy or over-designed.
-
The views are unparalleled. So much so that we opted to skip exploring the area in favor of hanging by the pool all day to take it all in.
-
This is a working vineyard and you truly feel like you’re nestled amongst the vines - particularly on the stroll to the pool.
-
I’m not a huge fan of Portuguese wines (should’ve figure that out before heading to the wine country) - but not to worry, Quinta da Corte is stocked with french rose’s as well. Check check.
-
The Quinta da Corta hotel is located at the very tippy top of a mountain so it’s a harrowing journey up (and down). But worth it once you arrive.
