Location: Pinhão, Douro Valley (Northern Portugal)

From the heart of the Regiao Demarcada do Douro the tranquillity and beauty of a very special place reaches out to us. Naturally lovely, the Vintage House seduces with the comfort of each nook and its 5-star service. In Pinhao, in this unspoiled valley in the Douro region, where man has transformed the schist mountains into stone terraces to plant vines, stands a XVIIIth century residence, built on the river banks. This elegant, extremely comfortable house is welcoming guests in search of something special; it has a mineral substance, a sense of austerity and light.

The antique house, situated on the lands of an estate dating back to the 18th century was renovated with great accuracy and sensitivity, in that the traditional architecture was preserved while offering all the comfort of modern hotel facilities. Here, all the rooms and public areas face the Douro river and hillside terraced vineyards, an ideal landscape for those looking for relaxation in the midst of natural peacefulness.

Accommodation: the 37 rooms and 6 suites – each one with its own style and a veranda overlooking the river – are the perfect invitation for a few days that savour of tranquillity. All rooms are decorated in an individual way that invites you to tranquillity and comfort. All accommodation units are equipped with air conditioning with individual controls; private telephones with direct access; television with built-in video and satellite radio; free safes and hair dryers.

Restaurant: at the Rabelo Restaurant, which seats 58 people, guests and visitors of the Vintage House are served aromas and flavours carefully prepared by a traditional kitchen, proof of how much Douro has to offer. At the table, as in the engaging surroundings,results meet the most demanding expectations. Superb list of Ports.

Conference facilities: the Vintage House Hotel has its own rooms and equipment suitable for holding conferences, work meetings and other events of a private nature such as parties, birthdays, baptisms and weddings. Since this is a thematic hotel, the plan is to offer to those who arrive, in addition to comfort, a chance to see the beauty of the surrounding region – which happens to be the geographic heart of the oldest demarcated region in the world. The Vintage House Hotel, more than a destination, is most of all a departure point for exploring the entire surrounding area.

At the Vintage House Hotel, excellent service is present in every detail. The complete offer of personalized services with private spaces includes different areas such as recreation, entertainment, meetings and events.

Recreation: on the esplanade, the pure air is an informal invitation to the allure of a magnificent Vintage. Say yes, and let the conversation flow in the rhythm of Douro.

The outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, gardens, game rooms, billiards and TV and also the Library Bar, are possible variations for another way of existing, here in the Vintage version.
