"The family atmosphere is wonderful. The staff are the owners and they really make you feel welcome. The room was immaculate and beautifully designed, the pool area was small but very comfortable, and the son of the owners is so helpful. He gave us excellent advice. It’s about a 15 minute drive up from or down to Pinhao but the drive itself is spectacular. I highly recommend this place."

"Not as advertised. Essentially a room with no services at all. No staff so you have to go up the hill to the sister hotel for everything. Room was not serviced when I stayed 2 nights either. Not a satisfactory listing"

"I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it wasn’t the most comfortable experience. The room itself was just okay—basic but functional. However, it didn’t feel very clean. There was an awful smell in the room that never went away. There were visible marks on the walls, a stale smell, and the bathroom could definitely use a more thorough scrubbing.
What really put me off, though, was the general atmosphere. Some of the other guests seemed… off. A few were lingering in the hallways at...

"We absolutely adored our stay at Gricha! We spent 2 nights and could have stayed weeks! The hotel was wonderful at accommodating our late arrival and early departure. We loved breakfast, the picnic lunch, the pool, the tour, the tasting, and our catered dinner. I enjoyed that they offered an honesty bar for wine. We would highly recommend!"

"Veldig koselig leilighet i en pittoresk fjellandsby i Duoro-regionen. Veldig gjestfritt nabolag! Butikk og snack-bar i umiddelbar nærhet, men langt til nærmeste restaurant. "

"This bnb is a gem in every way. The location in the historic district is perfect. You can walk everywhere. Car parking is very easy on the street. The bnb itself is stunning and comfortable. Our room was absolutely beautiful. The bathroom was like none other we have ever seen. The host was friendly and helpful, and her breakfast was remarkable! She couldn’t do enough to make sure that we had everything we needed or wanted. The property and backyard with a pool was beautiful! We highly recommend...

"Room with private external bathroom in this historic home that was like a living museum. Excellent value for money. Large, spacious with everything we needed for a good overnight stay. We feel privileged to have been able to stay here. We were also able to make use of a washing machine in the basement. Walking the Camino Torres this was an added advantage to our trip. We left very early the next morning, so could not make use of the well located cafe across the road for breakfast, but could use...

"The Vintage House is a beautiful hotel located conveniently on the banks of the Douro River where the tour boats depart. The rooms are very well appointed and the entire hotel ,pool and grounds are wonderfully maintained.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the dining staff on the outdoor terrace provided very attentive service. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the menu for lunch and dinner had a great selection of food & wine. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel and would highly recommend it to others."
"Vue à couper le souffle autant de notre chambre, de la terrasse , du resto et de la piscine. Personnel attentif et sympathique. Nourriture d'une qualité exceptionnelle!"
"Our stay at this Duoro Valley wine estate was the absolute perfect way to relax and unwind after a fast paced tour of Portugal’s coastal cities. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional hospitality and incredibly helpful staff made us feel entirely at home. The property itself is visually spectacular, offering stunning, postcard ready views from every corner - whether lounging by the pool, dining at the restaurant, or relaxing on your hotel room balcony. The self guided audio walking tours around the vast estate were fantastic, allowing us to discover the historic vineyards at our own pace while stretching our legs. The on site wine tasting was a true highlight, while also having access to a scenic river boat tour right from the estate’s private dock on the river was incredibly convenient. Every morning started with a delicious, high quality, included breakfast spread. The dinners were absolutely awesome, showcasing fresh, flavorful, local dishes. If you are looking for an immersive, deeply relaxing vineyard getaway with world class scenery and top tier service, this property is an absolute dream."
"Lovely hotel. Breakfast was really nice. Pool was amazing. We were in the family room and it was very spacious with proper beds for the kids.
Didn’t eat at the restaurant as it wasn’t suitable for my kids but the staff recommended other local restaurants. No bar however they serve drinks and charcuterie.
Would happily stay again"
"You simply pay for the views at this hotel. There are no frills outside of that (which was fine for my stay) the rooms had AC which was great. The staff was nice but it seems they were understaffed and simple requests took longer than other hotels I stayed at in Portugal. The buffet breakfast was convenient as there aren’t many food choices in the area to go to. I would go back simply because of the views and the relaxing property!"
"Beautiful countryside hotel with a fab fresh water pool & Sauna. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff. The local vinho verde wine is good too! Highly recommended if you like to be close to nature."
"Our two-night stay at The Vine House at Quinta de São Luiz was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. With only 11 beautifully designed rooms, it feels peaceful, intimate, and incredibly special.
The rooms were spotless, modern, comfortable, and even smelled amazing. The bed and linens made for a wonderful night’s sleep, and waking up to breathtaking views of the Douro Valley was unforgettable.
The infinity pool is spectacular and surprisingly private, allowing us to fully relax while taking in the incredible scenery. Even with vineyard tours taking place nearby, the pool area remained quiet and secluded.
Dinner at the restaurant was exceptional, with delicious food and thoughtful attention to every detail. Our stay also included a tour and wine tasting at Kopke Port Wines, which was fantastic and added even more to the experience.
If you’re looking for a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy some of the most beautiful views in Portugal, The Vine House is truly magical. It’s the kind of place where evenings on your private terrace, overlooking the Douro Valley under a blanket of stars, become memories you’ll cherish forever. We would return in a heartbeat."
