BOOK NOWOur project

Quinta de Raj is a vacation destination

It is a unique place in the heart of the Douro Valley, where one day’s stay will not be enough for you to enjoy the facilities. We are not a classic hotel; each of our rooms is decorated and equipped with the highest level of service: quality materials, thoughtful design, a high level of privacy, and attention to detail. Each room has a separate entrance, so you can enjoy your stay in complete privacy.

Important to know: we rent our individual rooms in the guest part of our house. This means that the whole villa is not rented out. Here you get the feel of a cozy private home with the comfort and atmosphere of tranquility.

Sustainability

Connecting with our environment and trying to have the smallest possible footprint on our earth, that is our goal within Quinta de Raj. The emphasis is therefore on the use of sustainable and reused or recoverable raw materials.

We have made special provisions for this, so that we live climate neutrally:
– Energy is generated entirely from solar energy. Approx. 160 m2 of solar panels provide for our energy needs
– Our guests can charge their electric car (for free)
– We produce our own food in our own gardens, such as vegetables, fruits and nuts.
– Household waste mostly recycled (paper, glass, plastic). Organic matter is composted and processed as compost for the garden
– The diet is mainly vegetarian. Meat consumption is kept to a minimum.
– We have a non-smoking policy

Our Vision

Bringing balance to your life and living in harmony with your environment. That is the objective with which we started this project. We want to clearly share and propagate this with others. In our society of busyness, stress and global challenges we try to create an oasis (“Raj”) in which everyone will feel at home. Just a moment of rest, relaxation and letting go of the daily grind.
The Idea
This place should be located in an idyllic spot. Beautiful views along which you can dream, water on which your thoughts can float away, centrally located and yet free, culinary traditions and a place with a deeply rooted history. All this came together at our location in the world famous Douro valley. Lying on a southern slope, overlooking the Douro River and the historic town of Peso da Régua, we found the location of our dreams.
The Execution

Because the location is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, we submitted our plans in 2019 for approval to the authorities. It was important here that we work with local parties in order to support the local economy. Our architects are two young brothers from Vila Real and together with a contractor from Peso da Régua, the construction work started in August 2020. First of all the centuries-old terraced structure, which is so characteristic of the Douro valley, needs to be restored.

The Douro Valley and the River

The Douro Valley, located in the north of Portugal, is a truly unique region where nature has created an unforgettable landscape. The Douro River flows through terraced vineyards. Known worldwide for its port wine and deeply rooted winemaking traditions, this region has long attracted wine lovers and travelers alike. The Douro Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a paradise for those who want to enjoy leisurely walks, breathtaking views and a rich cultural heritage.
