I would agree heartily with the last poster, great view amazing service. Richard, the major domo, was phenomenally attentive. The setting is really incomparable, and it's a good location if you are trying to organize a variety of visits to the quintas. Richard will take care of everything, speaks perfect English, and maintains a wonderful wine cellar from which to... More

This six-bedroom hotel reputedly has one of the six best views in the world, according to the BBC, and it certainly lives up to its billing. The view from the terrace, where you can swim in the afternoon and sip port in the evening, is simply spectacular. The rooms in the 17th century manor house are nothing special, pretty simple...

We drive up from Pinhao and stopped in early in the evening and were lucky enough to get the last room available. We absolutedly loved everything about this place and can't wait to return. Our room was very large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, even fresh squeezed orange juice. The guest house dates back hundered of years and has... More

It has been awhile but how can one forget this! We stayed in the private room above the garage so I can only comment on this. Climbing up to the entry one has a fantastic view. This room is quite large with wonderful windows overlooking the valley. The bath was good size and very clean. It would have been nice... More

We stayed here for one night, driving the beautiful route from Guimaraes along the river Douro to Pinhao. Following a 15 minute vertical ascent from Pinhao town, you will pass the hotel on your right. It remained unsign-posted when we visited, so for those without sat-nav I suggest you pay close attention to the photograph on the hotel website, or... More

We stayed here around 4 years ago now, on our honeymoon. Memories of the views, the dinner, the charm, and the value live on. We comment on this trip to everyone we discuss travel with. This is a hotel that makes stories in the future. Incredible scenery as you gaze across the Douro on this wonderful hill. I wish we... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending three days here and this is the first place on the entire Portugal trip we would come back to. Two qualities stand out: the owner is a true gentleman and creates an extremely polite and welcoming atmosphere, and second, the view is so stunning that you will just want to sit... More

We stayed here for just one night and were lucky to find a room still available when we called the day before. We have spent a lot of time in Portugal but this was our first trip to the Douro. September is a great time of year to visit because they are just about to begin the grape harvest. Reaching... More

What a place to stay. Fabulous service - dinner was particularly memorable, the view is amazing, you really feel like you've escaped from it all and found a hidden gem. Service is lovely. Road up is fine, bit windy but I got there, it's not Bolivia after all. Worth every corner so to speak. The sort of place you will... More
