Come from Pinhão and get ready to travel a winding road, narrow and with bad floor. But its worth, after all we are in the Upper Douro, Unesco Heritage Site and the view is breathtaking. When we finally arrived at the Quinta you´ll find a very nice place, with many outdoor spaces, sofas, benches all strategically located to provide you... More

We spent 3 nights exploring the Douro valley and Quinta Nova is a perfect place to stay although a good 30-40 minutes hilly car drive from Pinhao. The 11 rooms are comfortable and clean and breakfast is simple but charming buffet style with Quinta Nova jams, olive oil etc. To stay within an old quinta is fabulous and peaceful and... More

The place is wonderful and well worth staying at least a couple of days. It is very quiet and charming. The only reason why we did not give 5 stars was the staff. They were not overly friendly. We had some problems with our rooms (more than one.) and they were a bit iffy when we wanted to change our... More

Quinta Nova is more than just a hotel. If you're interested in wines and their production, then a stay a Quinta Nova will provide you with a mini-masterclass. From walks around their extensive vineyards through to the winery tour and tasting, it's a fascinating insight into the wine business. But if complete relaxation in a stunning location overlooking the Douro... More

This place is so amazing and the views are terrific! It's so quiet and beautiful. Service very personal. Breakfast is home made, big selection of wines and port to try. Stunning location. Do a trek around the vinyard and you'd find magic orange orchard with a little stream running though it. It's a like a fairytale place. More

The location of the hotel is very beautiful and the views are great of the vineyards and the river Duoro. The hotel rooms are comfortable and of a good size. The air conditioning is good which is important in the hot afternoons of July. The hotel has a wine cellar tour and trails around their farm which one can explore.... More

My husband and I were on a month long driving tour of Southern Spain, the Algarve, Lisboa, Douro Valley, Rioja, crossover through France and northern Italy to final week in Tuscany. Had no choice in the month – would not normally travel to these destinations in June (too hot!). So my only complaint was it was just too hot to... More

Stayed at the Quinta for 1 night as part of a short 6-day tour of the north of Portugal; practically had the whole place for ourselves and got upgraded to a lovely room (premier), overlooking the vineyards just a few feet away; the quinta is owned by the wealthy Amorim family, which did a wonderful job at this place -...

Quiet hotel with just 11 rooms on a working wine farm (quinta). Idyllic setting and scenery on the quite steep hills of Douro. Although the hotel may seem quite near the village Pinhao, the drive along the winding roads takes some 30 minutes. So if nihgtlife is your thing, this is not your best option. Nice ambience ("old decadent charm")... More
