Quinta do Paço is located in the parish of Trevões e Espinhosa, a village with traditional features in the municipality of São João da Pesqueira. It is immersed in the Douro territory, characterized by its winding slopes and a landscape shaped by vine cultivation. Its location offers an authentic perspective on local life and the region's rural character.
This remarkable architectural complex, often known in Trevões as Solar do Paço (Manor of Paço), bears witness to centuries of history and noble life. Built of granite stone, a typical material of the region, the manor features an imposing facade that reflects the nobility and power of the families who inhabited it over time. Elements such as its coats of arms and the building's sheer volume give it a striking presence in the village landscape, making it a significant example of Portuguese civil architecture from past periods.
As the name suggests, Quinta do Paço is not limited to the main building. Traditionally, a quinta of this type incorporated outdoor spaces of great beauty and functionality, such as inner courtyards and gardens. These elements contribute to the serene and timeless atmosphere of the place, where stone and vegetation unite, creating an environment of remarkable harmony. The property's size invites a careful look at how the built heritage integrates with the natural surroundings of the Douro.
