The staff were extremely friendly and courteous and helpful. Had a wonderful experience. However we missed a tea/coffee facility in the room.

Excellent location. Front of the Douro River. Great view and gardens. Excellent hospitality. Breakfast was spectacular. Rooms are big.

Fabulous resort.We had a balcony suite overlooking the river & Vieyards.Conveniantly located & you can walk to the resort from the train station.Food was awesome.Also you can walk to one of the best winery.Recommend very highly.Will certainly come back.

Only bad part is we get there at 3:45 pm and they said our room was not ready (got ready at 4:40) We went to the pool and the staff said we could not go coz we didn’t have a room I had to be strong with person saying it was not acepetable and I don’t like it And when we ask for a late check out they only gave us one hour

I don't see how anyone could give this hotel less than a perfect score. It is pricey but worth the expense. I see that most bad reviews criticize the restaurant. We did not plan to eat there since we were spending so much on the room (and renting an apartment in Porto at the same time), and the reviews we read were bad. I was a bit surprised that one reviewer actually did not like the river-front room she was assigned. I loved our river-front room and regretted not having any time to spend enjoying our terrace. The staff we encountered were most welcoming, and the included breakfast was amazing. Our room was pretty spacious, and the bed and pillows were really comfortable. The decor was beautiful and old-fashioned, and the bathroom was spectacular (though I never did figure out how to get water to come out of the shower heads). The towels were very plush, and one gets a face cloth, which is unusual in a European hotel. Upon arrival, I realized that I had left my umbrella at the restaurant where we had lunch, and when I returned, my husband was enjoying a complimentary glass of port in the comfortable lobby. I was searching for a budget hotel for our one night in Pinhao, and there are some, but getting to them involves a walk or drive uphill. The Vintage Hotel is right next to the train station, so it makes perfect sense for those arriving by train. I would really hope to stay at the Vintage Hotel again someday -- perhaps 2 nights to enjoy more Douro scenery and hotel luxury.
