the fiew

we had to wait 28 minutes till the reception man came to give us the keys. we forwarded the recommendations of a great dinner gift unfortunately the meal was even less than the evarage, the first course was very poor with a bread that I would leave the birds, which in the morning after was similar. the most disappointing point was the cost of the meal which forced us to pay 24 Euro for a wine that thhey offered us and we did not want to have so they even removed the wine glasses from the table. any kind of poilt request from us not charge us was rejected with a smile on his face - as saying us you are not the first and not the last.

As expected, the location was worth the effort of walking up the hill from the station through a vineyard (which was an experience in itself).

Could do with a bell at reception or something similar to alert the one member of staff that we needed to check in and when I wanted to check out.

No matter what, a great place - Awesome building and location, with an astonishing view on the Douro Valley. Lovely interiors with lots of antique furniture. Definitely a place plenty of history

The staff was willing to help yet not much professional

Beautiful room with a fabulous view over the vineyards & the river. Great bathroom, lovely antique furniture in our room & in the reception & dining room & mingling/lounge room area. Wifi in our room was fast enough for work, & it a nice lounge to sit down. Francisco was very helpful & really made us feel welcome. Also, we could park safely on the premises.

The room could have had more pillows. The pool needed a clean, but really it was too cold to swim anyway. We discovered that all the vineyard-stays charge an exorbitant amount for the in-house dinner & this place was not as bad as some other places, still the meal was not good value for money compared to other areas in Portugal but at least we di not have to drive at night on the very windy roads after dinner, as they are very liberal with the wine! 😂 So at least we got to try the range of their wines, which were very good.

They took the advantage of a last minute change to over-charge for a standard room. My original booking appointment was of around 130EUR for a room for a single person and they ended up charging 200EUR for that room (additional 70EUR charged)

Amazing Views! The wines from the estate were excellent and abundant.

Although the views from the hotel are amazing it is very isolated and the narrow, climbing, bendy road is actually quite dangerous. Because of the location, dinner in Pinao is really out of the question and so one is obliged to have the set, no choice menu at 35 euros a head.

We stayed for 6 nights in August. The views are stunning. Francisco was a perfect host - thank you!

Amazing location with a stunning river view, great facilities. The walk along the vineyards is marvelous.

Staff could have been a bit more helpful.

The staff was incredible and always helpful. For example, we arrived at the property much later than we expected (it was raining a lot and a lot of traffic) and even though the dinner has to be booked early, they managed to get us an alternative so we wouldn't go to bed starving. Also, we always felt like we were at home.

We would not recommend to go here...

The actual house looks not as nice as on the pictures; the swimming pool is dirty and the rooms are overpriced. Furthermore the staff is very unfriendly (and quite) therefore the ambiance is disappointing. The owner didn’t know anything about the wines that he is serving and the wine does not taste good; and we woke up with terrible headache (because of the bad wine?). We stayed in other quintas before (for example quinta cimeira which was way better).

Beautiful location, great service, excellent food.
