The Hotel
In fact, this hotel has a very attractive history because it was previously a winery (and located in boneless then the primordial Douro wine region). During your stay, you will find barrels where the wine is kept.
No one can remain indifferent to the hotel’s brilliant design. We can define its decor as vintage chic. The interiors are clearly elegant, but at the same time, with a retro and cozy look. The predominant colors are blue and yellow, which combine perfectly with the green of the landscape.
It is impossible to describe the feeling of well-being, tranquility, and peace that the view from the room conveys. The fact that it is a place without many people, without confusion, is, for sure, one of the most differentiating aspects of the hotel. Sounds from nature play throughout the space, which made a perfect connection to the hotel.
The Restaurant and The Bar
During your stay at Vintage House Douro, you can (and should) enjoy an appetizing meal in its restaurant, “Rabelo”. We can highlight the duck surprise with onion compote, mixed mushrooms with truffled cress, and potato cream-from the look to the taste, it was absolutely wonderful. We also couldn’t resist the codfish, swim bladder stew, white bean purée, and mini cabbage.
In the most popular wine region, we cannot forget the uniqueness of the wine list. We suggest accompanying your gastronomic experience with an incredible Douro wine.
It is also worth mentioning the bar, where the vintage furniture stands out. All spaces in the hotel have a design agreement. In the “Library”, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or an exquisite cocktail and relax a little or take the opportunity to socialize, as the place is very conducive to this thanks to its familiar, friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
