Quinta da Veiga ★★★

"Well, I don't even know where to start, there are a lot of things wrong and needing inspection at all levels by competent authorities. Starting the narrow path to the farm, two cars don't pass each other if they are unlucky enough. Arriving at the farm, to my amazement and I even thought it was a joke, the employee, despite being friendly, doesn't speak a single word in Portuguese... where are we? Or to the point this has reached, I understand some languages ​​and if you want to speak English I wouldn't go to Douro. Even an American couple is trying to say a word in Portuguese that is not being answered. There was only one employee for everything, from reception, cleaning the leaves from the pool full of verdigris and without water treatment, dinner, breakfast, all that was left to do was make the beds. In terms of safety, it is very complicated for those who use a wheelchair or have reduced mobility. It's not for old people. Lack of lighting around the farm. At night you can see absolutely nothing. The typical 17th century decoration mixed with oriental… for typical Portuguese I don't understand. If it was placed later or if it would already be there. But it was good practice to leave only the typical Portuguese as that was what was wanted in the area. Very weak breakfast. The employee came with about 10 slices of bread in his hands without gloves or utensils that would allow him not to touch the food, which makes me doubt the rest. I didn't understand if he was an employee or owner of the farm since nothing made sense from the service to the rest. They should say that Portuguese is not spoken at all and only English. Experience not to be repeated. Every place needs a serious inspection."

Casa Moinho da Mouta ★★★

MORGADIO DA CALÇADA ★★★★

"If you’re looking for authentic Portugal then this hotel and village tick the box! A delightful family run hotel and vineyard which have been in the family since 1590 … now 19th generation! I chose it as we were looking for accommodation close to Pinhao having hopped off a river cruise 2 days before it was due to end. Bored! We collected our car from the Vila Gale Douro Vineyards hotel and took the scenic route to this hotel. A warm welcome awaited us from the current owner! We had a light tapas type evening meal (arrived too late for dinner served at 19.30) washed down with a glass of MC white wine! Exquisite! The room was large, airy and air conditioned. Kettle, water and an adequate array of fitted wardrobes. A fabulous, large en-suite wet room too! Breakfast was utterly enjoyable … a good selection of cereals, bread, cake, jams, cheese, cold meats, tea, coffee etc. Eggs and omelettes also available. The hotel is set amongst the vineyard with an exquisite court yard and enclosed, walled swimming pool. We were delighted to find this awesome, authentic, hospitable, sparklingly clean hotel and left with 3 bottles of their delicious wine and happy memories. The panoramic views from this area are outstanding."

Casa do Arco by Douro Exclusive ★★★★

"Great view, location, warm and courteous hospitality, very clean and tasteful rooms, and delicious food that you'll want to eat again. Everything about this hotel was perfect. Moreover, the price is reasonable. This hotel is recommended to everyone coming to Douro!"

The Manor House Celeirós ★★★

"We stayed at the Manor as a base for three days in the Douro. The location is perfect for visiting the Douro, as it's right in the middle of the region and has various points of interest within easy reach. It's a very welcoming property, even in winter, when the area is probably less touristy. I think it's even more beautiful and welcoming in spring and summer. It has older but comfortable rooms and a very nice new location, although a bit far from the city center. The hotel also has an excellent restaurant. The staff is exceptional: we initially had a problem with the lack of heating in our rooms, but they promptly offered us a satisfactory solution. It's a place I would definitely recommend."

Quinta de la Rosa ★★★★

"Beautiful location. If you stay there is a complimentary tour of the wine making facilities. We had dinner at the restaurant which was packed... Food was above average but our medium t-bone was more of a medium well done. Swimming pool was cool and relaxing as it over looked the river. Suggest a minimum stay of 2 nights so that you can explore the town, river walk and vineyard walk."

Quinta Manhas Douro ★★★★

"It's a nice, small hotel, the decoration is modern and the room was very clean. A little bit outside the village, you can look from your window at the center. As we made an 7-days walk along the river Douro, we were very lucky to have a meal in the house. The mother of the owner cooked a delicious tasting meal for us. So that was a really wonderful surprise."

Quinta Da Marka ★★★★

Quinta Nova Winery House - Relais & Châteaux ★★★★★

"This hotel and winery were exceptional in every way. The views were breathtaking, the food and wine were out of this world, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the grounds were gorgeous. This was a calming and relaxing vacation topped off with a great massage. We had a very special experience here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway."
