Telecommuting has been gaining great growth this year, thus facilitating the way of working and allowing you to complete your tasks anywhere in the world. It is thus possible to be relaxing by a swimming pool, while working and completing your projects. Therefore, we give you some suggestions for rural tourism accommodation in the Douro where you can work while enjoying the landscapes and letting yourself be inspired.

 

QUINTA DA CÔRTE

With a stunning landscape and a balcony overlooking the Douro, you will certainly be inspired by the landscapes. Quinta da Côrte is one of the rural tourism accommodations in the Douro, near Pinhão, which combines a luxurious experience with traditional and refined decoration. In every corner, you will find works of art embellishing the spaces, covered in materials such as shale, solid wood and the characteristic tiles. Accommodation that will certainly make you feel at home and will give you the best of both worlds.

 

QUINTA DA MARKA

Located on the right bank of the Douro River, Quinta da Marka is also a great place to relax. On its sunny terrace you can sit down with your work material and enjoy the Douro River in the background. The calm of this place will allow you to concentrate and stimulate your imagination. When the heat sets in, a dip in the pool will help refresh and clear your head. With a welcoming and familiar atmosphere, we are sure that it will be the right place to relax while you work.

 

QUINTA DA CASA CIMEIRA

Located in a country house, Quinta da Casa Cimeira is surrounded by a garden and the emblematic Douro vineyards. An authentic place of tranquility and peace. It has a restaurant, so you won't have to worry about your meals. With several typical and delicious dishes from the region, you can also accompany dinner with a nice glass of wine. The farm has a library with a panoramic view over the Douro River, perfect for your rest and concentration. When you want to unwind, we recommend taking a walk or a bike ride in the surroundings.

 

QUINTA DA SALADA

Located in the parish of Cambres, this property offers several spaces where you can concentrate on your work. It has a long orange grove with a hammock where you can lie down and breathe the fresh country air. In its outdoor lounge, you can contemplate the landscape while reading a book, or while briefing your project. The farm's porch is also a good place to sit down at the computer and get some work done, to the sound of Nature. There are several spaces that the property offers to take a few days off, while stimulating your creativity and working on new ideas.
