Sophisticated Manorhouse – excellent for gourmets and Port Wine lovers.

The extremely well located Vintage House - set as it is in the heart of the Douro Valley overlooking the symbolic river - is somewhat different to the usual accommodation found in northern Portugal in that it provides a sophisticated hotel environment rather then homely manor house charms usually associated with the region. Service is personalised, professional and discreet whilst the fine in-house restaurant offers a variety of local dishes, which visitors would do well to try. Not only is this a stylish hotel decorated in good classical taste, reminiscent of an English country house, it is also a wonderful place for lovers of all things Port. In fact, Portugal’s most famous beverage runs through the veins of the Vintage House (even the name gives a clue), which actually started off life in the 18th century as a Port wine storage house. The frescoes on the restaurant wall, for example, allude to the harvesting of the grapes, whilst views from the well-kept garden and shaded riverside patio (an excellent place to sip a summer drink) pan out to the terraced vineyards that fall steeply onto the water’s edge. Visitors interesting in learning more about Port and the Port Wine route can arrange with the hotel to visit one of the numerous estates involved in the port winemaking process and participate in activities such as harvesting the grapes and treading.

"We were for 2 days on our journey through the wonderful port wine growing area in the Douro Valley. We can only confirm the very authentic and comfortable facilities of the Hotel, as mentioned in yours, as well as other press statements. On top of that, the staff is very friendly and professional.

Eventually you will meet small groups of travelers enjoying seminars on port wine in the in-house cellar. At the reception of the Hotel you can buy tickets (about 17 Euros) for a boat trip on the Douro, which lasts about 2 hours. Also at the train station Pinhao you can start your impressing journey along the Douro coastline.

All those, who are aware of the beauty of the Rhine Valley, will be surprised by the even more impressing views and unforgettable impressions. This place is ideal for a long weekend in connection with a visit of Porto – a very interesting city.

Tip: The arrival by car can be – caused by hills and the serpentine streets - for inexperienced drivers, quiet adventurous."
