Restaurante Monverde

A friend and I stayed at Monverde during April 2018 for five nights in a Superior Bath room. We cannot state enough how much we enjoyed our stay. We decided not to rent a car so that we could explore wineries without having to worry about driving. We secured transportation to and from the Porto Airport with Monverde staff. In fact, we used our airport driver for all of our transportation needs: A visit to Amarante, the Monverde vinification center in Vila Cova da Lixa, and a trip to the Douro River Valley. The staff at Monverde patiently answered all of our pre-arrival e-mails - and we secured wine and spa experiences prior to our arrival. The spa is on the smaller side - but has everything one needs for an enjoyable half-day/day: indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam and lovely treatments. Each morning we were quite excited for breakfast - eggs, meats, sausage, pork, cheeses, yogurt, granola, fruits, fresh juices and the best part - Quinta da Lixa's dry sparkling wine! We had a bottle delivered to our room every afternoon. I look forward to coming back to Monverde during a future trip to Portugal. Thank you for making our stay so very wonderful! Linda & Marcia
