As you know, Douro has a very special place in my heart, and I can\u2019t get tired of visiting, falling in love a bit more every time. We went back to The Vintage House<\/em>\u00a0at Pinh\u00e3o, a place that brings us memories we don\u2019t ever want to forget!<\/p>\n

Now in charge of\u00a0The Fladgate Partnership<\/em> (with business associated with Port wine, tourism and distribution and also two other hotels \u2013\u00a0\u00a0The Yeatman<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Hotel Infante Sagres<\/em>), The Vintage House<\/em>\u00a0presents a new image, keeping its very characteristic tradition and charm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An old cellar gave place to a luxury hotel with one of the most idyllic views of our country, this is the story of The Vintage House<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Located at Pinh\u00e3o, dominated by terraced vineyards and estates, the bedroom balconies present this breathtaking view each morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First impressions<\/strong>
\nArriving at the hotel, the reception by the staff was nice and cordial. Now the check-in is made in a more spacious room, quite cosy and with views over the river and the vineyards. We were offered a welcome drink while waiting in one of the comfortable sofas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Reception area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the check-in, we were accompanied by a staff member that showed us some important places at the hotel, its new dynamic and organization, and forwarded us to our room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bedrooms<\/strong>
\nThere are several types \u2013 Standard, Junior Suite, Suite Deluxe and Master Suite,<\/em>\u00a0all with the same important thing: the amazing views over the river and the vineyards!<\/p>\n

We stayed in a spacious Junior Suite, with a bathroom that makes you sigh (you know how much I love a good bathroom!). With a generous 42m2 and its king-size bed, very comfy for a few relaxing days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The decor follows the pattern of the hotel, classic, like an old family house that passes through several generations.<\/p>\n

But nothing is more important in these bedrooms than falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of Douro, with the vineyards as confidants!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lunch at restaurant Rabelo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Restaurants<\/strong>
\nThe Vintage (allow me to treat it as a friend) presents us with three spaces, the Rabelo restaurant, the Library Bar and the\u00a0Sal\u00e3o do Rio<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the first one, we had the chance to have lunch at the terrace with vines over our heads and a wonderful and calm view over the Douro. If you choose to stay inside you are presented with the walls full of paintings of Douro.<\/p>\n

But with good weather and the surrounding scenery, it would even be irresponsible to not seat at the terrace. Lunch went much better than in our previous visit, with well-prepared dishes and some good technical details, with a highlight to the selection of local bread and a great codfish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At\u00a0Library<\/em>\u00a0we spent an excellent late afternoon having some snacks and tasting a good wine (well, Jo\u00e3o did, since I was pregnant with Francisca at the time!). The bar has the atmosphere of an old house where wood is queen. Comfortable enough, classic and elegant as the rest of the hotel.<\/p>\n

A special note to the nice employee that accompanied us during this idle time!<\/p>\n

At Sal\u00e3o do Rio<\/em> we had the chance to have a big breakfast with some love from a very sweet employee and here care about me being pregnant. Highlight to the staff! Sal\u00e3o do Rio<\/em> also has wonderful views over the vineyards and Douro.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the pool, you can have light meals and have refreshing drinks throughout the day!<\/p>\n

Services<\/strong>
\nWe can start with the beautiful and calm pool right in front of the river, following all the corners of the hotel that deserve a walk around. Inside the hotel, we have also the pleasant Sal\u00e3o dos Ingleses, a game room with a pool table, tv and fireplace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hotel also offers a Tennis court, and wine tasting, with regional products and a wine store. It also has duly prepared rooms for conferences and events.<\/p>\n

For activities outside the hotel, we have the chance to live unique moments along the Douro Valley, namely on board of\u00a0PipaDouro<\/em>\u00a0or visiting one of the several Quintas of Douro, for instance,\u00a0Quinta do Bomfim<\/em>\u00a0that is very nearby, with its famous restaurant Casa dos Ecos<\/em>\u00a0in charge of the Chef\u00a0Pedro Lemos<\/em> offering an amazing gastronomic experience!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also very close to the hotel we have Quinta da Ro\u00eada<\/em>\u00a0and the possibility to visit and knowing its history and even have a nice picnic in a very intimate space with an astonishing view over the Douro.<\/p>\n

Service<\/strong>
\nUnfortunately is general knowledge that is very hard to find graduated employees in hospitality\/restaurants, mostly in the region of Douro. At Vintage our experience went well, without any problems with the service. The staff is young and nice, and the way we were welcomed in every department of the hotel was warm and caring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A very positive note to the staff at the Library Bar and Sal\u00e3o do Rio. Ponto bastante positivo para os funcion\u00e1rios que estiveram connosco no Library bar<\/em> e no Sal\u00e3o do Rio.<\/em><\/p>\n
