	Accommodation Description
Description :	Quinta de Marnotos is today a property used for rural tourism, constituted by three stone built farmhouses, four hundred year old, which nestle between hills and valleys and have been completely restored and re-equipped in order to provide you with everything you might need for a memorable stay. You can go for long walks in totally natural surroundings where the sound of birds, water flowing from stone fountains everywhere and the carefully maintained vegetation unite to create an environment of absolute peace and tranquillity. An excellent swimming-pool has been built and the three houses were refitted for your comfort. The houses have a park for your exclusive use. The origins of this unusual name is unknown, however lugar de Marnotos (the place of Marnotos), which gives its name to the Quinta, appears in a title deed dated 1060, before the creation of the Portuguese nation. The present property, which has always belonged to the same family, is a part of the original farm which was divided up by the descendants of the original owners. It is located in the demarcated region of vinhos verdes (green wines), where a transition wine - known as alvarinho (a particular quality of green wine) de Baião. This wine has some unusual characteristics, maybe due to the proximity of the demarcated region of porto wine. Although Marnotos is only 5km from the river Douro and 3km from the Douro (area classified as patrimony of humanity), it has a mild micro-climate which combines the advantages of the Douro with the coast, without the inconveniences of the extreme temperatures which are typical of this region. The soil is composed of granite and not schist, the land has a south/west exposure to the sun within the Gestaçôvalley (the land of walking sticks), and is protected by three mountain ranges: Marão, Montemuroand Aboboreira; twelve km to the north lies the valley of the river Tâmega. These factors, combined with a sixty km distance from the sea create a very stable and pleasant climate.
