EXPERIENCES
At Aldeia da Margarida, leave your worries behind. We take care of everything you need so you can focus on yourself, your loved ones, and the best the Douro Valley has to offer, from wine tastings to hikes along official trails, or river activities with kayaking or SUP (Stand Up Paddle).
We organize boat trips on the Douro River or jeep tours. If you are interested in Douro wines, we can arrange visits to vineyards and wineries typical of the green wine demarcated region.
It is an opportunity to discover and learn about other modern ways of life, distinctive for being anchored and strongly rooted in ancestral traditions.
And don't worry if you don't know the difference between an Arinto, Avesso, Trajadura or Loureiro grape variety. Sharing within the community can be educational for everyone. And the proximity to the Arouca Geopark is further proof of this, with its birthing stones and giant trilobites, and its 41 geosites that constitute a unique natural heritage, ideal for a stroll as a couple or with the family.
We know the region like the back of our hand, the nearby river beaches, the best spots for those seeking tranquility or those who want to explore nature by mountain bike.
In Aldeia da Margarida, we also know that Cinfães do Douro has some of the most picturesque road cycling routes in the country. We take care of everything.
And if you prefer something more focused on relaxation, break free from the shackles of urban life and let us guide you to the best places to crown your day with yoga or meditation.
We organize your day at the Paiva Walkways and, for those who want to broaden their horizons, the crossing of the Arouca suspension bridge, the Ponte 516 Arouca.
After completing your booking, add the experience(s) you would like to enjoy during your stay!
