Quinta da Veiga Guesthouse

Posted by gryphon2 28 May 2009

You are sitting by an old winery, now an eight-room guesthouse, glass of wine or port in hand, watching the setting sun gild the surrounding vineyards whose grapes produced the wine you're drinking. You are in the Upper Douro World Heritage Site in northern Portugal, looking down on the mirror-like water of the Rio Douro (the "river of gold"). Does life get any better than this?
