This place is so incredibly special. It is absolutely gorgeous and cozy and peaceful and has unbelievable views overlooking the river, valley and vineyards. Maria takes SUCH good care of you and you can tell she wants you to have a relaxing, fun, beautiful, peaceful time. She is such a kind, warm, helpful person. The hotel is an absolutely gorgeous villa with wooden floors and antiques and large windows and French doors leading out onto maybe some of the best views we have ever experienced. We jumped in the beautiful pool, enjoyed hot showers and slept so incredibly well. We really enjoyed the delicious dinner and breakfast at the dining room with our fellow guests. Everything was so comfortable. There were lovely walks all around and even two quintas about 2 minutes walking distance. If you have a car, the parking is just right outside the door, and it is not a far drive up from Pinhao. We wish we could have stayed longer as we felt so relaxed. Thank you for everything, Maria!
