Amid the vineyards of Casa da Calçada, well-being takes on its own rhythm, in time with the gentle pace of life in the Minho landscape. With the sauna, hammam and indoor pool, heat soothes, water envelops, the body relaxes and the mind clears. Three treatment cabins are available to extend your escape from real life, inviting you to let go.

With its own wine production, tours of the region’s best “quintas,” and a Michelin-starred restaurant, Casa da Calçada draws food and wine enthusiasts from across the globe. The chef describes his dishes as a mix of tradition and transgression, but the ingredients used to create them are carefully selected.

The casa considers supporting local suppliers a duty—without them, the traditional character of its dishes would be lost. When selecting new suppliers, the restaurant’s team takes the time to understand the supplier’s products and facilities; and, conversely, suppliers are invited to the kitchens to see their products in use. The restaurant operates a partnership with local supplier H2Duoro for organic vegetables and supports the region’s honey producers. It also sources fish and seafood directly from local fishermen. The use of known suppliers helps ensure sustainable fishing, with the chef selecting only seasonal fish and ensuring all parts of the fish are used.

The lemon-yellow facade of the Casa da Calçada hints at the sunny stay that awaits at this hotel. Situated in the heart of the town of Amarante, between the bustle of Porto and the sun-dappled countryside of the Douro Valley, both less than an hour away, this building dating back to the 16th century, with its golden baroque interiors, is a favourite with those who love beauty, golf, great wine and gastronomy. Nearby you find a splendid 18-hole golf course. The hotel also produces “Vinho Verde” wines, and on-site activities include a tour of the region’s best wine “quintas” that will ensure that you never forget the differences between Tawny, Ruby, White or Vintage Port.
