Beautiful place with very professional friendly staff. I had a lovely stay. This place is centrally located and can walk (or hike) to many Quintas nearby. Very clean and comfortable. The Breakfast was great. I had dinner in their restaurant with some modern twist- fantastic experience. If you like peaceful yet comfortable place with old charm- highly recommend.

A perfect stay

We enjoyed our stay here at this beautiful hotel. The view from our room of the Douro river was amazing. The hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly. We had an absolutely delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. The hotel location is perfect; the waterfront, wineries and the town are all within walking distance. A perfect stay!

Wineries around the area, the Douro river, and lookout points are fantastic, amazing, beyond words at times. However, the surrounding town doesnt offer much else. The train station was cool but "short n sweet", much cooler if actually travelling by train.

Perfect spot in Pinhao to explore from. Reception was brilliant and accommodated holding our bags until the room was ready. They provided early check in so we could enjoy the afternoon at the pool. Every staff member was courtesy and welcoming.

We had to go back home unexpectedly for a family emergency. Even though we contacted the hotel, they still insisted on charging us for a one night stay at their hotel. One day I hope to return to Portugal and continue our vacation, but we will never stay at the Vintage House.
