Quinta da Portela - Casa Visconde Arneiros - by RowdHouses

Wonderful location, perfect for a visit of the Douro valley.

The breakfast is rather expensive.

Beautiful setting, wonderful hospitality, hosts were very kind and generous

Ordering meals was a little confusing

Need car or taxi to move around. Vineyard itself is very nice to walk around and the owners gave us a tour! Wonderful views from the terrace. Pool onsite was very nice. Wine tasting that you can book on the property was outstanding with many different excellent wines and different snacks for each - wonderful!

No toiletries like shower gel or shampoo provided. The people on the property were nice enough to give us some though! But they are not the property managers and will probably not be able to help out every time. So bring your own. None of the doors locked well. Same ants in one of the bedrooms.

Fix the road back to the far cottage - it is too perilous and hard on cars.

Everything. It was such a stunning property, our little house was so picturesque with the veranda overlooking the vines, so spacious as well & all the facilities you could need. The main house & where they do the wine tastings & the pool was so lovely. The staff were friendly & very helpful. The wine tasting was incredible, so generous & delicious wines! Can’t recommend this property highly enough. We definitely will be coming back here when we can!

The rural dirt road charm was quite read and a challenge for our car to get in and out. We were allotted one cup of coffee each per morning. We have a water boiling Appliance, but no tea. Staff was very polite and arranged a wine tasting for us, which was good.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The charming stone walls and the serene, picturesque landscape made it a truly relaxing retreat. The kitchen was spacious and beautifully designed, with heritage elements that added so much character to the space. What stood out most was the exceptional service. The team was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond in helping us arrange transfers from Porto and to Coimbra, as well as local transport around the area. Their support made our trip smooth and stress-free. My family also thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting experience offered during our stay. Highly recommended—we would gladly return!

Fantastic location, very friendly staff and beautiful setting.

After the changes, only the sleeping function remains, making it feel more like a B&B. The previous qualities—homey atmosphere and warm hospitality—are gone!
