Olive Nature Hotel & SPA

This is the Quinta Valle de Passos, a countryside estate in the Trás-os-Montes hills above Valpaços that once went by the name Quinta Dona Adelaide and still carries its winemaking past in the vineyards and olive groves that surround it. The hotel sits low in a modern country register, its rooms and terraces turned toward the gardens and the green rise of land beyond. Regional traditions run through the spa…This is the Quinta Valle de Passos, a countryside estate in the Trás-os-Montes hills above Valpaços that once went by the name Quinta Dona Adelaide and still carries its winemaking past in the vineyards and olive groves that surround it. The hotel sits low in a modern country register, its rooms and terraces turned toward the gardens and the green rise of land beyond. Regional traditions run through the spa, where treatments draw on olive and on plants grown in the estate's own gardens, and the kitchen keeps to the food of the north. A working farm on the grounds, with its animals, gives the place a lived-in warmth that guests travelling with children tend to remember. Valpaços lies about six minutes' drive away, and the airfield at Mirandela roughly thirteen.
