Moimenta da Beira hotels

Pros: LOVED this Quinta! Initially we planned to stay near Pinhao, but so glad we changed our plans. The house had a wonderful view over the vineyards, and a beautiful deck to sit out and enjoy the scenery. The house was clean and very spacious, and the host was so kind. She showed us around the property and gave us a personal wine tasting. We enjoyed walking thru the vineyards and into the town of Provesende. Passed a beautiful cemetery along the way. It was just a perfect stay. If you are lucky enough to have this property available, don’t hesitate to book it. You will love it!

Cons: Liked everything!

Pros: Everything was truly amazing, one of the best experiences I've had. We had the whole house for ourselves, they lighted the fireplace for us for dinner, and also in the morning during breakfast. The breakfast was fantastic, all home-made products they produce themselves. They are very attentive and available. They guided us through the wine museum they have in the property, and took us walking through the vineyards. Also, all domestic animals are welcome! I will absolutely have to repeat!

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like.

Pros: Beautiful rooms & breakfast. The staff Beatrice was fluent in English and helpful for everything. Nice fire place and bed rooms with air conditioner. Walking and cycling in the vineyard and the surrounding were bonus accompanied with friendly dogs. Free port and a bottle of nice wine and you can buy them ... should not have got some ports in Porto !!

Cons: Noting...

Pros: The location. The sympathy and attentiveness of the owners The wonderful breakfast The quality and comfort of the house

Pros: Everything was amazing... food, wine, port, our picnic, the hosts, the location (definitely get a car though). Cannot recommend enough

Cons: That I didn't have more time here....

Pros: A beautiful location in the Douro valley. It’s a charming older home immaculately maintained by Elisabete and her mother. Elisabete is very friendly and shares excellent travel tips, local breakfast foods and other specialties. We experienced an intimate port and wine tasting experience in her cellar. Staying at this Quinta was like visiting a friends home. You won’t want to miss this opportunity.

Pros: Elisabete's place was amazing! I only wish I could have stayed longer there! She and her mother were so friendly and hospitable. The house is very well maintained and located in such a beautiful spot in the Douro Valley. The pool was great, and is a fantastic way to spend a lazy afternoon. The breakfast provided was one of the best I had during my entire trip. I highly recommend doing the wine tasting - all the wines were delicious and Elisabete is very knowledgeable.

Cons: I wish I could have stayed longer!

Pros: The views were amazing. Very quiet. Great hospitality by Elizabeth.

Cons: No problems

Pros: We had an amazing stay here, definitely recommend Quinta do Fôjo! The house is beautiful and authentic and you can see Elisabete and her mom treat it with love, same as they treat their guests. We felt at home and very comfortable. From the moment we placed our booking to the moment we checked out, Elisabete provided great service and was helping us and giving us tips for our tourism around. Superb breakfast with local produce and home made compotes. We even managed to enjoy the pool since the sun came out! Love this place and will definitely be back! Muito obrigada!

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer.

Pros: Can’t say enough about the Quinta. The accommodations were first rate. The family home is beautiful; so much character. The setting is heaven. We only wish we had more time to extend our trip. Our hosts were exceptional.

Cons: We loved everything.

Pros: Elisabete is a seriously good host; nothing is too much trouble. We visited for a friend's wedding & neither of us drive, but she went out of the way to help us explore the region and even drove us down to Regua several times. The in-house picnic is delish and definitely recommended - there are lots of beautiful spots for picnicking on the quinta. We stayed 7 nights and were not ready to leave!!

Pros: Quinta do Fojo is a magically beautiful place inside and out. Elisabete is such a kind and helpful host! She gave great suggestions for sightseeing and dining. The shared bathroom wasn’t a problem at all and it was very clean. Breakfast was hearty and delicious with fresh baked bread, cheeses, jams, fruit, and other baked goods. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a breathtaking view. The pool and other outdoor spaces were gorgeous, and wine tasting in the cellar is recommended. We had such a relaxing and wonderful stay...the best of our ten day trip.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Host and hostess were so friendly and helpful. They made breakfast earlier for us since we were leaving before serving time. Location was really neat. Up in the mountains in a small town.

Pros: The host was simply amazing. Language was no barrier between us Buffet breakfast was amazing and having stayed in places throughout the world I have never had a host who was happy for us to take away any of the breakfast goodies for your lunch. Most have frowned of taking away anything. Not these wonderful hosts. Beautiful place great hosts. A highlight of our journey through Portugal

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Pros: Extremely friendly and welcoming host. Warm check-in and check-out. Exceptionally generous and varied breakfast with endless options. Spacious room. Elevator.

Pros: Staff do everything to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. The vegetarian restaurant. Excellent wines and the variety of activities.

Pros: Six Senses is simply spectacular - from the location in the Douro with amazing surrounding vineyards to the facility, the staff, food and wine. It simply is "Six Stars"! Considering all elements the value actually is quite good. We have stayed at 4 Seasons and Ritz Carlton and the like all over the world. All of them were wonderful, but value based on price is actually better at Six Senses Douro.

Cons: Almost nothing. The only negative comment is that their wine prices are a bit high for the area. After going to a number of Quintas and seeing prices even at their high end restaurants, we felt 6 Senses is marking up a bit too much for the area.

An outstanding facility that has the best of both worlds, beautiful historical building, completely renovated inside with a wonderful contemporary and artistic feel. There are so many spaces to enjoy inside and out! The spa treatments, and staff were excellent. The Six Senses staff did everything they could do make our stay enjoyable and memorable. Our only regret, is the we could not stay longer.

Cons: The main dining room, was the the one option to dine in during week days, the other, more interesting options are open only on weekends. The food was not up to the facility, expensive, and service was not consistent.

Pros: Unbelievably beautiful hotel with superb staff, so kind and friendly!!!!!

Cons: The hotel is absolute perfection in every detail.

Pros: The grounds are spectacular

Pros: Spectacular position high above Douro river, within vineyard. Staff made extra effort to help us to enjoy, especially dinner.

Pros: Very clean and quiet

Pros: Lovely new facilities in a restored village house next to the church. Catarina is very efficient and friendly. Good continental breakfast and very good value all round.

Cons: The village church is a place of religious pilgrimage. Access is controlled during peak times like weekends and religious holidays. Guests should be advised to inform security where they are staying. Parking could be tricky but I did not have a problem.

Pros: Amazing place to stay. Rooms are immaculate and well designed. Space is clean and comfortable. The owner is super gracious and kind. Breakfast was served in the morning and plentiful. Wish we were staying longer!!

Pros: SOme times we get surprised on what was promised and what you Get. In this case, was a very good surprise. Good Breakfast, good service, good care and warm welcome. Was a fantastic experience for a fraction of the price. Will return... and that is something that is very rare to me. But it is worth every penny spent. I´m sure the price will double in a couple of months. Thank you for the fantastic weekend.

Pros: My wife and I were in Portugal for a week and this place was an absolutely one of the highlights. The owner, Joao, couldn’t have been more helpful, kind, generous and caring about his B&B. Owner Joao has a great breakfast every morning with fresh bread and cheeses from Lamego (a local village nearby). He had a list of recommendations of what to do in the area. Joao is without a doubt one of the most hospitable people we have ever met in our lives. Would definitely recommend staying here for anyone who is in the area of Peso da Regua. Owner owns the supermarket connected to the Bed and Breakfast. Family run business. Couldn’t find a more welcoming place near Peso da Regua.

Pros: The host was the nicest host we ever meet. He alone can be a reason to stay

Pros: Very clean, spacious, brand new and the hospitality of the two brothers who own the place was overwhelming !! They treat us like we where old friends. They received us with coffee, delicious 30 year old Portwine!!! , beer, wine, fresh homemade orange juice And the breakfast was super with fresh products and home made cake from the grandmother.

The bathroom was huge and everything was very clean. Breakfast was great. Our host was very sweet, even when we needed a cab at 5 in the morning after a wedding, he made sure that someone was coming to pick us up. Also we could make use of his family's private swimming pool. All in all, a great stay!

Pros: Everything was perfect! The host was super hospitable and attentive. He met and treated us as his own friends. We could never expect more. The rooms are new and very clean. The breakfast is substantial and homemade. I highly recommend this hotel.

Cons: The bed could have been bigger and the pillows softer.

Pros: This was the main house of a small vineyard. The staff was incredibly helpful. When we arrived it was lunch time and the hostess of the house made a reservation for us at a fabulous nearby restaurant and then took care of our bags so we wouldn't be late. They went out of their way to do nice things for us. It was almost like being a guest in a private home. There is a lovely pool and patio facing the hills where you can have cocktails. You can also hike to a private chapel up on the hill. Truly a lovely spot!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Ângela was amazing and extremely helpful with scheduling and coordinating tours. She also gave great recommendations for local restaurants and vineyards.

Cons: all was perfect, so nothing to say!

Pros: It's a very beautiful place.

Cons: The breakfast was very simple, with few varieties.

Pros: We thought the Quinta was really high quality! We stay in A LOT of hotels and were impressed by the big and small attention to details. From the Angela's hospitality (truly great!), to the comfortable bed, high-end bathroom, beautiful views from our room -- it was really wonderful! We want to come back with friends some day. We chose to do the full dinner at the hotel (really, you are going to be hard pressed to have dinner anywhere besides the hotel because driving is dangerous at night) -- and it was a great experience! We had the steak and goat entrees that come with appetizers, soup, salad, a bottle of wine, and dessert. Really good, attentive service. And the hotel has lots of spaces to just sit and relax on sofas by fireplaces, so you really feel the quinta is your home and you don't have to stay pent up in your room.

Cons: It was a great place, highly recommend.

Pros: Beautiful property, big room and bathroom, decorated with lot of taste. Breakfast and dining room are very welcoming, also beautiful outdoor aeria with lot of spots to sit down and relax the peaceful place.

Cons: We liked everything!

Pros: Breakfast is excellent. The family provide superb service and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Cons: Barking dogs at night

Pros: Owners, Zulmira and Michael (and gorgeous Labrador, Leica) are wonderful hosts with plenty of suggestions for touring the Duoro and advice on navigating the picturesque but narrow local roads! Go stay with them, let them cook you dinner and hear their insights into the region. We loved our stay.

Pros: The host are incredible !!

Pros: Very kind hospitality. Perfect!

Pros: Great hosts, beautiful venue. Breakfast was good as well. Very cosy space decorated with taste.

Pros: The Hosts are such nice, warm and welcoming people, they helped us with everything and even booked the boat trip for us. The Dinner was just fantastic, one of the best on our whole portugal trip, its a must have if you stay here. Breakfast also is great with local stuff. Last but not least they have a young dog that is just too sweet. If you are in the area definitively stay here.

Cons: Nothing, everything was awesome.

Pros: The owners Zulmira and Miguel were very nice and friendly

Cons: The fact that we did not have a view from the room

Pros: Very high quality and very comfortable bed

Pros: Amazing experience. Luis Miguel and Zulmira are the best host. The place is beautiful, clean and the service is just outstanding! Try the bread... the Porto wine and the olive oil. You will want to come back for more. We were are a group of 8 and we can’t wait to go back!

Cons: There was nothing that we disliked.

Pros: We stayed at Casa da Azenha for 4 nights and felt really welcome by staff and family. A unique house with a fabulous garden and a vineyard you can explore. We were given the most useful recommendations to tour the Douro-area after a delightful breakfast in the beautiful breakfast room where we met the other guests in the morning. The bed rooms were clean and cosy, had very comfortable beds and were carefully looked after. We really felt like coming home every night. Casa da Azenha and its people radiate a warmth, a hospitality and a sense of trust that is rare these days. We highly recommend to experience the beauty of this place.

Cons: -

Pros: The location was incredible, such a beautiful place, and the staff was exceptional. Ana was so helpful.

Pros: One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever been.

Pros: A beautiful, peaceful location! Anna was very helpful planning local outings.

Pros: When the gate to casa anzenha opened we entered a Portugese fairy tale! It was even more beautiful than we hoped. The big and lush garden is lovely to walk through or sit in. It is full of flowers, tropical plants, orange and other fruit trees, little romantic seats, fountains, candle lit lanterns at night, views over the vineyards and not to forget there's a great pool, on one side deep enough to dive. The interior, the furniture of the rooms is so tasteful with antiques mixed with bright colors, we got inspired by it! The new ac was a nice surprise for us, it worked really well. We only had to switch it on briefly to have a nicely chilled room for the entire night. The beds are made and the bins emptied every day by very nice people. And then there's Anna, a dream host! She makes sure her guests have absolutely everything they need, from making reservations for boats or restaurants to finding swimming spots. She has a good sense of humour. The owner welcomed us late at night. She is very friendly too, told us a bit about the history of Casa Azenha (how it has been in the family of her husband for 400 years) and checks regularly if all is good and she came by with glasses of port. We could feel the love of the people of Casa Azenha everywhere: they look after their beautiful place and their guests so well! Breakfast is served outside on a large table where with the other guests, which is a nice way to talk to other guests. One day it rained and we were welcomed in the main house in a beautiful palace-like diner room. Casa Azenha is small scale and that gives it a wonderful homely feel. It was a magical week, thank you so much!

Cons: The only thing we did not like was that we had to leave...:-)

Pros: Superb breakfast at table in beautiful garden

Cons: Would like to have stayed longer if we had time

Pros: We were welcomed by Ana with some fresh homemade lemonade and some tips of which Quintas to visit in the region. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and you could order picnics to take walking with you around the vineyard or out with you when exploring the Douro. The staff were so very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, they'd call and make reservations on our behalf. We booked an extra night within the first half an hour, we loved it so much.

Cons: Everything was great.

Pros: Ana and the Team were extremely nuce and professional It felt like being in a fairytale, we will definitely be back @ Azenha

Pros: Set in a beautiful garden with a large pool and one is able to walk through the surrounding vineyards. Ana and the staff are extremely hospitable and helpful, providing great recommendations for restaurants and wine tasting. Our young daughters loved the garden, pool and vineyards.

Pros: Our host Cindy was always kind and pleasant. Breakfast was a treat every day, and a little different every day. We loved having a cat to pet occasionally. We would return here in a heartbeat.

Pros: Beautiful scenery and countryside close to all main attractions in douro valley

Pros: This place is simple and lovely. The host was so friendly and easy to work with. We ate dinner there, it was wonderful simple. So tasty. It was a excellent value for the money would very much recommend.

Pros: Hosts were welcoming and very helpful. Hotel was spotless with well maintained throughput, grounds landscaped and well looked after. Breakfast assortment was extensive and plentiful. Great place to stay.

Pros: Booked this last minute and had trouble getting there with our gps/map app but it was so worth it! Cindy and her family are delightful hosts, the property is amazing and their wine is very good!

Cons: It was a bit out of the way from the Douro river area

Pros: Cindy was the hostess with mostess. We felt very welcomed and looked after. The facilities are brilliant and very clean. Highly recommend of you looking to stay in the area

Cons: I cant think of something

Pros: The location in the heart of the Douro valley was exceptional and easy to get to. The home and property were relaxing and felt very home like. Our hosts were friendly and helpful

Cons: It exceeded our expectations and was delightful

Pros: Cindy, the manager, was very, very nice and was also a great cook. She did a laundry for my wife and me and would not let me pay for it (another hotel on this trip charged $41 Euro for laundry service). HINT: If you give Cindy a day or two advance notice, she will prepare an awesome supper for you.

Pros: The accommodation and setting were delightful. The host was friendly and helpful and the area worthwhile visiting if you are travelling by car.

Pros: Beautiful surroundings and truly peaceful setting.

Cons: The decor and furniture was a little dated and really requires an upgrade.

Cons: Uncomfortable beds, mediocre food.

Pros: Food was excellent as was the service. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Pros: The facility's and the hospitality

Cons: The position is far and hard to get

Pros: The warmth and the helpfulness of the staff and the owner were wonderful

Cons: The only problem is that the narrow roads to the place are hard to navigate

Pros: Everything, especially the helpfulness of the staff

Pros: Everything was great. Great food, decor was beautiful, spa facilities were very good, the staff was ex excellent and accommodating, beautiful place. I would highly recommend this place.

Pros: Thank you Churchills our stay was perfect.

Pros: Loved the intimate setting with spectacular views, the high end accommodation and spaciousness of the Quinta, the attention to detail, & a staff who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for us. Thank you to the front line staff...Tiago, Katerina, Teresa, & Arno as well as the lovely ladies who prepared the incredible breakfasts and dinners for us. Thanks too to the housekeeping staff who always greeted us with warm smiles. Witnessing the harvest and joining in the treading of the grapes was unforgettable. The 4 course dinners and excellent accompanying wine pairings were amazing. We so enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace after dinner, chatting, and laughing with other guests which in our case were a young couple from Montreal and another from the US. Should you prefer privacy there were many intimate areas to relax both inside and out. Waking up every morning and opening the bedroom shutters to see the spectacular view of the terraced vineyards and Douro river was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Also, the infinity pool was awesome and provided many incredible photo ops even if a wee bit chilly in late September:) This Quinta is an oasis in the Douro and our 3 night stay here was the highlight of our 3 week holiday to Portugal. I highly recommend!!!!

Cons: The only negative I could comment on is that the drive to get to the Quinta once you leave the highway might be a bit challenging to some drivers. However... Do not let it deter you from staying at this incredible Quinta! Just be aware that the road is narrow and sometimes might require backing up to let oncoming traffic pass. We personally did not have a problem with this even though we visited during the busy harvest season. The drive from the highway is only a few km and only adds to the Quinta’s charm.

Pros: I like the comfy beds, the ambience, the scenery and the service. Food and wine are very good.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Breathtaking location. Modern and luxurious but retains charm of original Quinta. Stunning infinity pool looking over the valley. Great home cooking which we found to be excellent value too - 3 course meal with wine pairings for €40!! Lovely cosy atmosphere and great hospitality. The dining set up is unusual in that you eat with the other guests around a table that seats 8. But it makes for a home from home / house party feeling and we met some fantastic people whilst we were there.

Cons: The drive is a bit challenging but an adventure... and you wouldn’t get the same views or experience from a property that is easier to access. Totally worth it in our opinion. Just try to arrive in daylight or in time for sundowners on the terrace.

Pros: Quinta da Gricha is located in such a beautiful spot in the Douro, it seems unreal. The house is great - very welcoming and wonderful terrace for the views. Teresa, Arno and Katerina are doing a fabulous job, making everything so easy for us. Spending the day with Miru and Kika, the two lovely dogs, was an added bonus! The food was incredible with lovely wine and port to match. Really beautiful breakfast spread in the dining room. Fresh bread to die for and I loved the bolo de coco so much! I loved everything! We'll be back as soon as we can!

Cons: Only staying for two nights!

Pros: View, food, design/furnishings.

Cons: Getting there is... interesting.

Pros: Everything! The staff, facilities and the whole experience was worth it!

Pros: We had a fantastic stay. The location is stunning, the rooms were very well presented, the menu extensive and all dishes we tried were excellent. On top of this, the service and help we received from Isabel, Sofia, Bruno, João, and the behind-the-scenes staff was amazing.

Pros: Everything was excellent, comfy beds, professional staff, delicious dinner and breakfast.

Cons: nil

Cons: Nothing to report! Everything was fine.

Pros: Very charming!

Pros: The staff was great and made us feel welcome. The air conditioning was appreciated and worked well.

Pros: We loved everything about this place: the staff is amazing, very clean everything, very quite. Breakfasts were excellent; dinner that we ordered made just for us was delicious ( we felt like royals). One of the best places I stayed in all my travels

Cons: Nothing. 100% satisfied

Pros: Beautiful property in a beautiful little village. View from breakfast terrace was incredible as was the breakfast. Room was amazing with a wonderful tub and stone walls. Great picnic area.

Cons: A little distance from Duoro River but not really an issue considering how incredible the property was.

Pros: Wonderful experience. Gorgeous large room and beautiful grounds.. Had a great dinner there (let them know in advance) in former family dining room. Staff went the extra mile to cater for all our group's dietary needs, including gluten free Vegan. Super cute village. So nice to be out of the hustle and bustle. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Pros: A lovely 17th century country house, sympathetically restored with modern facilities making for a comfortable stay. B&B but a great local restaurant close by.

Pros: it's such a cosy environment all inside the place. all the facilities are working super fine and people from Solar are very friendly and helpful.

Cons: we had no complaints about our stay, all was perfect

Pros: A very cosy place in a picturesque part of Portugal. The weather spoilt us as well as the owners of the hotel who were extremely friendly, kind and generous. We didn't like the place. We LOVED it!!! I am sure we will come back.

Cons: Can hardly find...

Pros: The most amazing hotel I've ever lived in! Incredible! I am delighted with the room, the building of the 17th century, the staff and the whole experience in this hotel. Will definitely come back :) and exactly more than once!

Pros: Small but well kitted out house in pretty wine village. Enjoyed the vineyard tour the host organised very much.

Cons: The church bells ringing all through the night ..

Pros: Everything. This place is nice and well equipped. It is a blast to be on tiny streets with locals all around.

Cons: This place was fantastic in the tiny village of Barcos. Everything was great, including the bottle of Port waiting for us and the locals. The only negative is that the local priest, who doesn't live in the village has decided that the ancient church needs to play electronic music and bells every 30 minutes, 24 hrs a day. You need ear plugs. This was our favorite place so far on our trip.

Pros: They organised a visit in one of the quinta nearby, which was a great add-on to our trip.

Cons: Nothing to do with the property but the street are very narrow in the village where the accomodation is located. So a smaller car is recommended.

Pros: Old village shifted back in time and forgotten by the world. Very characteristic for Douro valley with arounded vineyards. Betefull views and oryginal villages. All nice comforts in apartment.

Pros: This is real Portugal! Tiny village, narrow streets, people going about doing daily chores! The apartment is fantastic! We should have booked for a weekend! Our hosts were a delightful couple with local knowledge. It really was a “refuge”! Hundred year old house with renovated interior, exceptional work! Gift of lemons from family garden, Port wine to sample from family vines and good tip for eating out in Tabuaço. Truly a real gem of a place. Highly recommend!

Pros: Barcos is situated high up the Douro and it was lovely to arrive (finally) in the 10 century village. We had a warm welcome by Marcia and her friend. The apartment is well contained and you want for nothing, everything is there if you wish to cook. Locally there are two small supermarkets and a bakery. We did a morning trip to Pinhao for a one hour river cruise and we’re back by 2pm to walk to the family winery for a fabulous tour, hosted by Jose. What a memorable experience. Thank you Jose.

Cons: As with all quaint villages there is a church. This local one had four megaphones on its roof and every 30 minutes, DAY and NIGHT the megaphones ‘chime’ bells.

Pros: Perfect place! Clean, cozy apartment in the middle of Barcos. We had a chance to take a part in annual local celebration. Highly reccomended!

Pros: Location is unbeatable, very special remote village. House itself has this very old spirit, but still with modern facilities. Our stay was very comfortable, from using kitchen, bathroom to sleeping in a bed. Hosts are super friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed.

Cons: It would take really picky person to find something not to like here :) Too bad we had time only for one night!

Pros: Very friendly and welcoming hosts, the whole Family really. The appartement is very nice and well equiped, good internet connection, too. We would have loved to have more time to do the wine tasting offered by the host.

Cons: If you are not used to the bells ring fron the chearch every half an hour it can be noisy at night .

Pros: Loved the village route to the quinta

Pros: Excellent location. Great views.

Pros: Lovely room and views and good breakfast

Cons: The staff were not welcoming

Pros: Comfortable room with a great river view.

Pros: The property owner was very friendly although he speaks only Portuguese. Breakfast was delicious

Pros: We spent 2 nights here and would have loved more. The owner was very helpful with what to see and suggestions of which wineries to visit in the area. The Quinta is beautifully decorated & furnished with large lounge areas. Our room was comfy with an fabulous view over the river Douro. A plentiful breakfast is served with homemade produce. Although the owners had limited English & we couldn't speak Portuguese my husband was able to communicate in French. Highly recommended.

Cons: Finding the house was a little difficult at first through a small village with narrow streets & we missed the last sign which was on the side wall. Turning around was a challenge, but worth the effort! Not having time to use the swimming pool.

Pros: our bedroom window looked out onto a scene of rural tranquility and the duoro river; a place to get away from it. nearby are good-to-great restaurants and an outstanding vineyard and tasting room (quinta do tedo).

Pros: Owner of the Qunita is welcoming each guest nicely and is very helpful. Nice is as well that breakfast is in the family kitchen on one big table with all hotel guests, thsu you get to know some persons during your trip. Our room was nicely decorated (roses behind the bed on the wall) and had an breathtaking view to the river and the Douro valleys. The most excisting was that the owner invited the guests to produce wine by stepping on the grapes.

Cons: Driving up to the Quinta is in narrow streets, but at least the way is short, well marked with signs and on the evenings there is enough light.

Pros: Very good countryside hotel in a very nice region with a tremendous view to Douro river. The owners are very kind and are there always to help. The breakfast was served in the kitchen owners and was delicious. If you want to rest, you must choose this countryside hotel because you will only hear the birds in the morning. The hotel have a covered place to park at least 6 cars. Quinta da Azenha is higly recomended!

Pros: We stayed in 9 hotels in Portugal. This is the most excellent one. The host is genuinely nice, not just being commercial. He has his own cellar making port. We were offered unlimited amount of welcome drinks (home made port). Although we did not had dinner at the hotel, we were offered some soup, dessert, wine and dessert free. The house is nicely decorated in a traditional Portugal style. The location is incredible with a fantastic view of the river. It is like traveling back in time to a quite Portugal village for a very authentic experience.

Cons: Not near any big city. You have got to drive. No internet - a blessing if you want a real break!

Pros: The hotel family were very hospitable, the location is good for the Douro region.

Pros: This is the best place of stay during our 14-days trip in Portugal. We have never stayed in the 600-years old house, we have never drunk such a tasty port wine made by the owner, and we have never met such hospitable owners. Damien and Louise very good speak French. They can provide you with all necessary information. And what delicious baked pudding and egg desert have been prepared by Louse. This is a calm and quiet place for a rest; there are magnificent views to the river and vineyards. The hotel is well-equipped cozy and comfortable. There are direction signs to the hotel on the road. The best way to come is to turn on the second second sign (from the side of Regua). The parking area is enough for 6 cars.

Cons: The field for comments above is too small for all my opinion about the hotel
