Located in the famous Douro Valley, a region known for its rural charm and exquisite wines, this hotel offers stunning views of the surrounding hills, the vineyards, and the Pinhão River.

Everything! Best location/view in the Douro. We wish we would have eaten dinner at the hotel instead of at Bom Fim (though this was very nice). The views and staff are wonderful. We wish we would have stayed longer. Highly highly recommend!
Sitting in 120 hectares of Douro Valley vineyards, this traditional manor house has been converted into Portugal’s first wine hotel.

Luxurious stay with phenomenal views of the Douro River and Valley. Breakfast with fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurt, grains, juices, pastries, bread, coffee, tea was wonderful. The terraces permitted and encouraged relaxing and tranquil lounging. Rooms were clean, generally well-furnished, with spa-like bathrooms. The staff were particularly helpful with our day touring arrangements, making dinner reservations for us in Pinhao.
Located in a former 18th-century wine estate, this luxury hotel overlooks vineyards and the Douro Valley.

The hotel is located in one of the most scenic areas of the Douro River. The staff were excellent, the hotel was extremely clean, and the onsite restaurant was amazing.
Located on the right bank of Douro River, in the center of Pinhão village, Casas Botelho Elias offers self-catering holiday homes in a natural setting.

This is a quaint property in the heart of Pinaho. It is centrally located and, as such, well within walking distance of most of what the town has to offer. It was very quiet despite being in the centre of town and the little alley in front of, and the area behind the property, were very pretty.
Casa de Casal de Loivos offers intimate accommodations in a 17th-century manor house. It features an outdoor pool and a sun terrace, both providing stunning Douro Valley views.
Located in a wine producing estate, on the right bank of Douro River, Quinta De La Rosa is a family owned property, 1.2 mi from Pinhão. Rooms at this working vineyard are spread over several levels.

Such an amazing stay! Our only regret was not staying another night.
On average, 3-star hotels in Pinhão cost $145 per night, and 4-star hotels in Pinhão are $157 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Pinhão can be found for $400 per night, on average (based on Booking.com prices).
It is a small town in a beautiful setting. The solar boat ride was really nice - we went in the late afternoon when most of the boat traffic had settled down. There are at least four wineries where tasting is possible (although we didn't participate). We really enjoyed the restaurant Cozinha da Clara just outside of the village - they served the best pork we had ever eaten. The Vintage House has a lot of character and is a lovely place to stay.

Pinhao is a great town to based in Douro Valley.
Pinhao is a great town to based in Douro Valley. There are tons of wineries and restaurants on the town level to walk to and also up in the hills. You can come to Pinhao by train from Porto easily and then walk or take cabs to get to wineries. Don’t leave without taking a private or group boat trip for amazing scenery. If you take the train from Pinhao to,the last stop going east and then turn around and return to Pinhao this has beautiful views too. We loved staying at Casa do Casal de Loivos (it is up in the hills but a 10 euro cab ride will take you into town). The view from there are unmatched. We also loved staying one night at Casa De La Rosa, which has an amazing restaurant and beautiful terrace with a swimming pool. You can walk into Pinhao town from Casa De La Rosa so it is a convenient location.

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.
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.
The space is beautiful - a historic quinta, with views of the vineyards and the Douro river. It's a large property, with plenty of room for guests to feel private. Multiple pools, a trail through the vineyards, nice rooms.
The staff was also lovely - very kind, professional, went above and beyond. The restaurant was excellent for both dinner and breakfast.
The best part was probably the location - walking distance (15 minutes) into the town of Pinhao, but outside enough to feel like you're deep in the valley.
Location was beautiful, lovely view from our upstairs room, lots of outside space to enjoy wine, very quiet. The staff were extremely helpful and hard working, and despite being down some staff members, really took time to talk and help us out. Large and beautiful property. The drive out from Pinhoa was lovely. Pinhao was extremely busy and bustling, we were happy to be a little away from that in such a peaceful setting.
Close to the centre of Pinhao, the Douro is beautiful. Pedro, the owner, is great, very helpful guy. Have a drink (or two) and a sandwich in his bar Cafe Imperio opposite the station! He gave us some great tips for walks, brought fresh bread everyday to go with the breakfast food in the fridge, and sorted out our washing! Comfy bed too.
This is simple comfortable accommodation.
Nothing. We weren’t able to stay there. The property in no accessible. My partner is handicapped and there was no parking on the property or on the street anywhere near the property. It’s NOT a three Starr property. The owned still hasn’t answered my emails. Very dissatisfied with this booking. We ended up stay at another hotel for the evening.
The hotel's owner , Emilia, was very nice, and gave us a warm welcoming .
The room was very spacious, clean and very lit. Amazing view of Douro river from the room's balcony.
There is free parking at the hotel.
Breakfast was good.
Location - the hotel is in a walking distance from the boat tours starting point
This was a well appointed entire home with at least two bedrooms, located conveniently in Pinhão. Excellent communication and self-checkin made it convenient. Allowed us to relax and enjoy the locale, and also launder our clothes. The WiFi worked well and the ‘street’ is quiet.
The hotel was fantastic. The room was nice and spacious with an excellent balcony looking over the Douro region. The pool area was a great place to spend time at. The staff were really friendly and alway willing to help with any requests. Great selection for breakfast as well.
The host kindly made up a breakfast for us and left it at our door. Large 2 bedroom unit with lounge/TV room and full kitchen. Very nice bathroom and comfortable. Good location close to restaurants like LBV 79 at the riverside which you can drive to. Parking in the street.
Pedro and staff were so helpful and kind! Great location in Pinhao, mountain views, close to the river, restaurants, train station, etc. Clean with comfy bed! Local artwork! Nice breakfast provided. Games like dominos available as well!
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.
Pinhao is a lovely place and a beautiful location. Great selection of good quality restaurants. Beautiful scenery. Real nice 'vibe' about the entire place. Host was very helpful.
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.
