Lovely property and people (and wine/port too). Seems a bit out of the way. Well, I guess depends on where one starts the journey.

Quinta das Amendoeiras, it's also a lovely place to stay, he has multiple rooms in the big house and a new separate guest house overlooking the river and vinyards. (on the other side of the river is Vesuvio)
