Quinta do Vallado

Douro Valley, Portugal

Set back from the Douro River in Régua, about half an hour from Pinhão, Quinta do Vallado is a wine estate established over 300 years ago. Since 2005 the estate has welcomed guests into its 13 rooms which are split between the original manor house and a contemporary new wing built in 2012. Both are surrounded by terraced gardens.

Decor in the rooms in the original house is classical in style, while the new wing is sleek and modern. All rooms are spacious and comfortable, with views to the back of Régua or the hotel’s expansive gardens, and modern comforts such as air conditioning, TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi.

To the back of the gardens is the hotel spa, which includes a sauna, Jacuzzi and relaxation area with a panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards. There is also an outdoor pool, accessed by a few steps, which also features a poolside bar in the summer. The hotel is connected to a modern winery where you can take a tour and browse the wine shop.

OUR OPINION:

A tranquil retreat just outside of Régua, we love the stylish decor and stunning architectural design of the attached modern winery.
