Quinta de Águas Mortas is located in Gestaçô, one of the most serene villages in the municipality of Baião, where the green of the mountains meets the blue of the sky and the waters that flow slowly through the valleys. Here, you are surrounded by the majesty of the Serra do Marão and Serra da Aboboreira, by the banks of the Teixeira and Ovil Rivers, and by rural paths that tell ancient stories—of shepherds, farmers, and traditions that time has not taken away. Nearby, there are trails to explore on foot or by bike, viewpoints with stunning views, and a rare calm that invites rest. Just a few minutes away, you'll find the center of Baião Resende, Mesão Frio, or Amarante, with their typical cuisine, local markets, and cultural heritage that pays homage to writers like Eça de Queirós. And if you're looking for adventure, you're just a stone's throw from the Douro Wine Region, a World Heritage Site, where the landscape speaks for itself. If you're looking for untouched nature, authenticity and rural hospitality, this is the place for you.
