Room was very rundown as though Expedia clients get the worse rooms. Toilet ran all night, had to get the lamp fixed, curtains were fithy, and entrance garden all overgrown making it hard to enter the room. Too bad- potentially a great place but needs alot of work.

A different type of hotel set in acres of vineyards this is a good place to stay if you want something a bit different. On the Saturday night we paid for the buffet which was great value.

Stunning property and grounds, with excellent service with food and drink. Our room was a bit tired, with an old fashioned bathroom and no air con. We found out that the excellent staff would deliver food and wine on request, but no one told us this and it wasn’t signposted! Information about dinner, services, prices for wine etc. should be made clear. Otherwise, a beautiful and unique experience. Very tranquil and serene setting.

Absolutely stunning property. Maria and Pedro welcomed us into their home and made us feel like family. Had delicious dinner and breakfast buffet served in their beautiful dining room. The entire working property is classic Portuguese Quninta living. Staff was amazing. Looking forward to staying there again. Highly recommend if you are visiting Lamego.

This property was a magical experience for us. A heritage mansion set among acres of vineyards. The views were superb. The mansion villa was spectacular in its furnishings, its location, its decor and its staff and owner. We were greeted by Francesco and made to feel at home in this regal atmosphere and public space. Maria, the owner shared the history of the home and land. Our room was huge with comfortable beds and pristine linens. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast in a dining room with a table set for nobility. The fireplace was lit every morning and the ambience was magical and a perfect start to our day. We spent three wonderful days with easy access to touring the Douro river valley and walking the estate. We will return. Thank you we were blessed to experience such luxury and welcome. Will return from Canada in the future.

This property was a good place for us to rest mid-vacation. It was not tourist season, so it was very quiet with very few guest. THe food was wonderful as was the staff. The hotel itself was a little on the older side and there is little to do around the estate or area. You will need transportation to go into the Duoro Valley.

This property has so much potential, but… At first glance, this property is in a stunning setting. 500 acres of orchard, Vineyard, and historic buildings create an atmosphere that feels like it could be four-star. It’s not. This property is short 4 employees that could take it from a three star to at least a 3 1/2 star. 1. It needs another maintenance person who isn’t just keeping things working, but fixes and upgrades the aging facility: moldy grout in the showers, drooping shower faucets, and broken toilet seats. 2. It needs a groundskeeper who is eliminating all the weeds and grooming the gardens and walkways. The historic nature is great, but untamed it looks messy and feels like the staff can’t be bothered with the details… 3. …which rings true in the food, which is served upon reservation for dinner as $45 fixed price but lacks creativity or presentation. For the $, far better food is available nearby and many places have better presentation and variety. A true chef would add the elegance and quality that takes the food from home cooking to fine dining. 5. A Gardner who is taking advantage of the abundance of fruits and vegetables growing around the property. So much wasted food and looks unkept. The staff is not professional, and therefore more casual in their nature. It’s charming on the surface, but not 4-star. Lastly: these are the worst mattresses I have ever slept on. 1 star hostels have better! TLDRBeautiful venue in need of investment.

The price of the rooms is high for what you get, but considering the beautiful surrounding and the interesting main building, it is worth it. Jeorge (the receptionist) is great, very helpful and a true multi-tasker. The estate is really nice and great walks, but there are signs that a bit behind with the uokeep.

Disappointing
The hotel has great reviews online, but I think that the Coivid-19 pandemic has hit this hotel hard to the point that the old reviews are now false advertising. In short, you'll enjoy this hotel if you enjoy old knick-knacks or paintings of family members - each room is completely filled with them. You may also like this hotel if you like this style and are looking for a wedding venue. However there are a few drawbacks. Due to a lack of staff or lack of money, the property has not been properly maintained - rooms are dirty, we found a lot of black mold in the bathroom, the backyard garden has not been maintained, and the pool area was dirty with some fountains filled with green algae. Our bedroom was very dusty/moldy with old curtains and a matching quilt. The mattress was very hard. We had to keep the windows open to allow fresh air to circulate - there was not air conditioning or fans in our room. We wanted to spend the least amount of time possible in the room, so we decided to go down to the pool. Unfortunately there was bird poop all over the seats and cushions, so we had to turn over the cushions ourselves and then put towels on top to use. The flys are what drove us away from the pool, as there were too many to count. There were fruit trees and horses below the pool and maybe that is where they are coming from. Lastly, breakfast is free and I'd buffet style. The food is best described as a contenental breakfast plus some slices of deli meat.

The location is fantastic with the manor house situated in the vineyards. The manor house has decades of history with the decor is a collection of the family's memories and artefacts. We only had breakfast which was more than adequate, but I'm fairly sure the dinner would be excellent. Rooms fairly basic but again quaint. The estate is beautiful with a tennis court, pool area and loads of space. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a weekend away.
