Fodor's Expert Review Vintage House Hotel
Rua António Manuel Saraiva, Pinhão, Vila Real, 5085-034, Portugal Fodor's Choice
About 32 km (18 miles) east of Régua, this beautifully renovated and extended former port-wine warehouse has a perfect location on the northern bank of the Douro and unrivaled views of the valley. Almost all guest rooms have balconies or terraces looking out over the garden, the swimming pool, and the river. The breakfast room also has a river view, as does the large terrace of the sophisticated Rabelo restaurant, where fresh takes on regional cuisine are served.
PROS
- lovely riverside setting in the village of Pinhão
- grape picking (or treading) can be arranged
- steps away from the train station
CONS
- hotel has a tennis court but no gym
- far from any nightlife
- long building makes for a bit of a hike to some rooms
