Wine aficionados rejoice. Once a lodge for storing port wines in the 17th century, Vintage House Hotel is now a stylish sanctuary in the quiet town of Pinhao in Portugalâ€(TM)s Douro Valley. Poised on the banks of the Douro River, this member of Relais & Chateaux combines sophisticated lodgings with such gourmet pleasures as an acclaimed fine dining restaurant, cooking classes and a wine academy. Rustic origins give the hotel its distinctive character, while urbane hospitality ensures a pampered stay.

If you are sensitive to sound when you sleep bring earplugs. There are street dogs nearby that bark at night. The room temperature was stuffy and warm. We weren’t able to sleep with the door open at night for cooler air due to the loud barking dogs. The hotel is located on the river which is nice. The hotel charges 60 euros for a rollaway bed which is ridiculous. The bar and breakfast food were really good.

Stunning hotel on the Douro River. Brings you back to the old world. Incredible comfortable beds and rooms with balconies over looking the river. Delicious breakfast and great service.

The hotel rooms are nice but the furniture is slightly dated. Housekeeping keep the rooms very clean and well maintained. The views of the river and surrounding hills are a wonderful way to start the day. In a warmer time of year, it would be nice to sit outside. They have a delightful breakfast room and good buffet. The selection of items is good. Their scambled eggs are truly outstanding. Clearly made from scratch with fresh eggs. The pasty on the Portuguese tarts is fabulous. The staff provide excellent service. However, we did have mixed service at the bar. The bar food was very good.

We experienced the Vintage Hotel like a large, very comfortable, vintage clubhouse with soft leather sofas, warm winter fires, well sized rooms with high ceilings, and good food. It has a superb location right on the banks of the Douro. Our bedroom had a lovely terrace. The hotel put on a fantastic NYE dinner, fireworks and party after midnight.

This hotel has great views and a lovely exterior. But…our experience left us less than enthusiastic. For such an expensive stay and restaurant the staff should have been much better trained. The staff in large part seemed dutifully confused as to their jobs and were on their phones a lot. Our room was a hot hellscape because they turned off the HVAC. It also smelled like cat urine. The restaurant was quite good but expensive and a come hungry leave hungry experience.
