Hotel Rural Quinta Do Pego

Beautiful location and breathtaking views especially from the swimming pool and our room’s terrasse. Breakfast very generous. The waitress was very happy to see that my son eats copiously and spoiled him with pastries, cheese, fruits and cold cuts. I liked the outside’s layouts, the different terrasses and its contemporary look.

My experience with the person working at the reception desk wasn’t satisfactory. I don’t know if it was because of a language barrier or because the man who worked there was new to the place but he didn’t informed us with the right information. At the evening of our arrival, he told us that our only option for diner at the hotel was a prix fixe menu (we discovered two days later that there were plenty of a la carte options.) When we asked him the name of a town we can eat, he gave us the name of a town that was 45minutes away from the hotel.. In fact, they were a lot of restaurant choices in the town of Pinhao (10 minutes away.) Another reception worker was also not very helpful.

Loved the setting, the staff and the ambience. Food was great too. The pool has the most amazing view. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and the staff could not have been more helpful and kind.

The drive! I know this sounds odd but if you’re driving I would prefer to drive in central London than go up and down the drive! It’s really narrow, steep and with an SUV some corners require 3 point turns. It’s the fear of meeting someone coming the other way (which we did despite the red light warning system). Makes for a captive audience on dinner as you definitely wouldn’t do that after a drink! Food’s great though so not a problem.

Very lovely modern premises overlooking the Douro River. We had a comfortable room which included a good sized terraced with a beautiful view. An excellent breakfast with a good selection. While optional, we had dinner each evening of our stay and although in our view pricey the food and the service was of an excellent standard.

Lovely good sized pool but unfortunately not heated. Manning of reception seemed to be a bit of hit and miss. Unlike other places we stayed our experience of reception was more a function rather than an opportunity to provide us with helpful information on the area.

This hotel was wonderful in every way! The facilities are thoughtfully designed and elegant. Each room seems very private and has a view of the gorgeous Douro river valley. We had dinner in the restaurant (very pleasant outdoor seating); the service was very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Breakfast was ample, with a good selection of sweet and savory options, including fresh fruit and scrambled eggs. We enjoyed the pool (a bit brisk but pleasant!). As others have noted, the drive up is somewhat challenging, but the accommodations at the hotel are well worth it. It is quiet and peaceful and the views are incredibly beautiful.

Nothing. It was lovely.

The location and the view of the Douro river. The infinity pool with the view was fantastic. Service was excellent as were the wines. We enjoyed our personal wine tasting and the walks around the vineyard. The gardens and terraces for sitting outside were beautiful.

The room did not feel as luxurious as the rest of the hotel. The food at dinner was not as good as we hoped and for four nights more variety would have helped. A shame the bar menus did not go into the evening. The taxi to Pinhao is expensive so too much to go in for an evening meal.

Quiet, in a fantastic spot, clean, tasty food, the staff were incredible and we were so so happy there! The pool and the view was amazing and everything was decent price.

Only one small thing to note - a cab that picked us up started the fare at 16Euros and cost us 38 to get to town. On the way back, it cost 22 Euros. It would have been good for the hotel to have note of reliable and reasonable taxis.. but not at all the hotels fault. A really lovely stay overall!

The property is fabulous! it’s like being in small luxury boutique hotel. The location is fantastic on a vineyard, the views are beautiful! The room was beautifully appointed, with lash robes etc. There is a pool with the view of the vineyards. The pre fix dinner was delicious ($40 pp), the wine you can buy on the premises delicious. you can have a wine tasting at certain times. And something what we noticed and it’s unusual: amazing pillows!!! yes, pillows were great! Overall amazing stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Quinta do Pego! The location was absolutely amazing, providing a serene environment perfect for relaxing and recovering from all the stress. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable. The wine selection was impressive, and the prices were fair.

We tried all the menu options, we found the food to be somewhat lacking.

The view

Value for money wasn’t good Breakfast for such hotel was poor I noticed a head that one of my daughters has a celiac and I expected for such quality hotel to have a variety of gluten free food for her, except of bread and a muffin that was poor she rarely touched the food The receptionist never was in his position, always have to ring the bell and wait like it is a 1 star hotel..

This is the best hotel we ever stayed in: tastefully designed and decorated. The private outside areas were comfortably furnished, olive trees gave protection from the sun. They make their own olive oil and wine. The chef was outstanding, we had two dinners there. The overall experience and ambiance were superb. I would have given it a score of 20, if it was available.
