Spectacular location in the middle of the Douro valley, the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful and is constantly running around doing her best to make her guests feel welcome. The wines are superb and I wish we could have brought some home!
Breakfast was good as well and the structure is nice and well maintained.
Sitting in 120 hectares of Douro Valley vineyards, this traditional manor house has been converted into Portugal’s first wine hotel.

Quinta Nova is an amazing experience and the location and views are outstanding, the staff were lovely, although language was sometimes a challenge, they may have been a little short staffed while we were there as we did have to wait a while when we ordered drinks a few times. The position and overall experience was wonderful.

1) the location is super convenient for those travelling by car (there is a private parking), but also for those like us travelling without it - the train station is easily accessible by walking;
2) the views are stunning, especially from the living room where they serve breakfast;
3) the room was spacious and just adorable with big windows, a lot of light (and blackout curtains), a very comfortable bed and lovely terrace;
4) the owner organizes tours to their vineyards and a wine storage / mini-museum (on prior arrangement) and it is a must do even of it's the only thing you have time to do in Pinhaõ;
5) the breakfast is modest but everything is of high quality and it's difficult to stay hungry and again, the breakfast room is so adorable that it's pleasure to have breakfast there.
Located in a wine producing estate, on the right bank of Douro River, Quinta De La Rosa is a family owned property, 2 km from Pinhão. Rooms at this working vineyard are spread over several levels.

Wonderful View of the River and the valley from our room. Restaurant was very good. Also liked the Terrance restaurant wish it was open later.
Casa de Casal de Loivos offers intimate accommodation in a 17th-century manor house. It features an outdoor pool and a sun terrace, both providing stunning Douro Valley views.

Fantastic boutique hotel, with exceptional staff. Bernardo and Paulo are amazing hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. They truly want their guests to enjoy their stay and recommend places to visit and eat, etc. Special thanks to Carlos for looking after us for breakfast. The views from the hotel are jaw-dropping, photos on booking dot.com don't do it justice. We walked down to the village, be aware it's very steep in places, and then took a taxi back. We booked dinner at the hotel, which is served like a family meal with all guests sitting together. This was a great experience, and it was fantastic to socialise with travellers from all parts of the globe. Another night we had dinner at Bonfirm food and service were exceptional.
Situated 27 km from Douro Museum, 39 km from Our Lady of Remedies Sanctuary and 22 km from São João da Pesqueira Wine Museum, Casa Seixas Batista features accommodation located in Pinhão.

I recommend staying at least a night at Douro hostel, a home away from home (and honestly the best hostel I've ever stayed in, more like a guest house). Staying a night will give you the time you need to explore the hills, vineyards. Make sure to pop into the local butcher for some incredible cured pork and cheese!

We drove to Pinhão. The roads are slightly terrifying but the views are spectacular.
We were there in March so not everything was open. Best restaurant was Writers Place! The walking trails through the vineyards were fantastic!

The perfect spot to explore some of the lovely Quintas the Douro Valley has to offer. Would definitely recommend Pinhao as your base. We drove to Pinhao from Porto which was great for sight seeing and super easy. We visited the three Quintas that are within walking distance from Pinhao train station which were lovely. I’d recommend making a reservation in advance for dinners or lunch where possible. But we also did a few walk ins.

Pinhao is stunning. with good selection of restaurants in the evening. Beautiful wineries. As the wineries are built into cliffs the drive to Pinhao and around is not for the faint hearted. The roads are very narrow some without safety barriers. However if you can get past this it is worth it for the scenary. It is a sleepy village but everyone is so friendly. One or two days maximum is enough.

Excellent location on an S bend on the river Douro.
Excellent location on an S bend on the river Douro. Sleepy village atmosphere but with plenty of activities around the railway boat trips and quinta wine tasting. Some good restaurants. Wonderful views if you climb up through the village. Watch out for the dogs though - they are always enclosed but can be extremely aggressive.
It’s very spacious and comfortable. The queen beds were also comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river. The host provided us with a bottle of wine, some breakfast food and each day a wonderful fresh loaf of bread was delivered to our door. The property is on the Main Street of Pinhão and convenient to the boat docks and restaurants although some restaurants were not open when we visited (April). We were able to park on the street near the apartment and we felt our car was safe. Recommend.
The hosts were exceptional in every way. I especially liked how Pedro gave me maps with places to hike, to eat, to experience wine tastings, etc. The hostel k was exceptional with a kitchen, tables for eating, a refrigerator for guests. On the upper level of the hostel is a wonderful terrace with tables, a beverage refrigerator, a clothes washing space and a garden. A great place to socialize with the hotel hosts and guests. I’ve stayed at a lot of hostels in Portugal and Spain. I rate this as my number one hostel stay.
We loved our visit to Pinhão, which was totally wonderful, and were delighted for having chosen to stay at the beautiful and comfort Vintage House Hotel. The staff of the hotel were kind, generous with information, making us feel instantly at home and well looked after! The location is perfect, we walked to a number of the activities we had chosen to do, pity that we had only 24 hours to stay. It means we must come back! Thank you so much, you are a great hotel with a wonderful team!
If you’re looking for an amazing value for a stay in the Douro Valley, look no further. This is the place. Pedro recently renovated a historical building in the heart of Pinhão. It’s sparkling clean, modern, and very cute. The rooftop terrace is a treat. If you’re lucky the fox will come visit. A simple breakfast is included. Pedro and Sarah are generous and kind hosts who will tell you about the best places to visit in the region. I hope to come back in the future!
Pedro was an awesome host. We very much appreciated his kindness, generosity, quick responses, and willingness to talk with us and share his knowledge of Pinhao and the surrounding region. He certainly deserves a 5+ star rating as a host. The facilities and experience made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
The apartment is spacious and well equipped apart from a kettle to boil water for tea. It is simply decorated.
It is just up the hill from the main part of Pinhao and walking distance to cafes and supermarket.
Parking is in the street.
The view from the patio across the town and river to the hills opposite.
The hotel was able to upgrade our reservation from a double room with river view to a junior suite which was a nice surprise for my husband. He was able relax and enjoy a pleasant dinner at the hotel too. We had a beautiful view of the Douro river and hillsides of terraced vineyards. Lovely property.
A very nice place to unwind and relax in following some hectic days travelling. The apartment was close to the centre, spacious and clean with everything you needed. The terrace afforded fabulous views over Pinhao and the Douro and pool looked inviting, although we didn't use it. Breakfast included.
Location was great, the area was so beautiful! Staff were really friendly. I felt like the room and overall property were much prettier than the pictures on booking.com when we booked. The food at the restaurant was great and prices weren’t bad. Lovely quiet pool area. Very easy access to Pinhao
Beautiful winery on the Douro River. Large room windows opened to a river view. Outdoor restaurant serves happy hour, breakfast and dinner. Excellent winery tour followed by a wonderful meal. Walked to the town of Pinhao from the hotel.
Enjoyed a boat cruise and more wine.
There were a few options for breakfast which was great and we were very happy with our choice.
The location is about 10 minutes from Pinhao but we knew this when we booked. The location is very nice and it was great to sit on the patio overlooking the vineyards.
The staff we very welcoming, spent time to explain the top attractions and miradouras nearby, and provided a wonderful experience. The room was spacious and modern. The area was not far from the center of Pinhao, but far enough that it felt like a private estate.
Absolutely gorgeous setting, at the top of a hill outside Pinhao with terraced vineyards and amazing sunsets. The apartment was really roomy and comfortable and they left us a lot of food. The views were amazing and the drive up and down the mountain were fun.
Very nice hotel with great views over the Douro river. The views are especially great from the swimming pool. The room was decent size with a little balcony. Everything was clean, the staff was nice and the parking in the garage is also very convenient.
Lovely location. Pinhao is a beautiful town and all the places in the town are walkable. The host Francisco made our stay memorable and helped us at every stage. The house has all the facilities and makes one feel at home.
Incredible view. Join the evening meal at least one night to meet fellow travelers from different countries. Book a tour at the olive museum near the hotel. Visit the other Quintas at the top of the hill.
The apartment was perfect for our visit to Pinhao. It came generously supplied and thoughtfully decorated. The terrace provided a most spectacular setting for breakfast with incredible views of the Douro.
Pedro was a superb host. Very friendly and very helpful. The casa we stayed in was homey and authentic, and nicely nestled in the hillside. Really enjoyed Pinhao and its beautiful surroundings.
Wonderful location in the small town of Pinhāo in the Douro valley. The houseboat is just as pictured and very well equipped with everything you might need.
