Quinta de Raj was founded by Paul and Valeria with the intention of creating a paradise (“Raj”). Their eye fell on the beauty of the Douro Valley with the bridges of Peso da Regua as a view. The Quinta was set up to serve as a base for future retreats on self-awareness and connecting with your own self. Paul has a background as a Zen teacher, while Valeria, on the other hand, specializes more in Numerology, Karma Yoga and meditation. This combination often offers a multi-faceted insight into what drives you as an individual and how your (life) decisions come about. The Quinta is designed in such a way that you can retreat in different places (physical and spiritual) to reconnect with yourself.

All rooms are spacious (2-persons) and have the same impressive view over the Douro Valley. Every is room is different and based on the four elements; Water, Earth, Fire and Air. This is reflected in the interior. All rooms come with daily laundry service and cleaning, free Wi-Fi and i-Pad. Free usage of kitchen, wellness- and garden areas are included. The facilities are to support our philosophy of tranquility and well-being.  The pool area offers luxury cabanas, a pool, a sauna and a hot tub. The gardens are open for our guests. There are plenty of nice hideaways to sit down, relax and enjoy the moment. For more leisure, we also offer wine-tastings, hiking- and biking trips. Other services are available on request via your hostess.
