The Wine House Hotel - Quinta da Pacheca

The name leaves little to the imagination, but around here, that’s a good thing — Quinta da Pacheca Wine House Hotel is an 18th-century manor house on a working Douro Valley winery that combines classic charm with contemporary interior design and up-to-date boutique-era comforts. Along with traditional hotel rooms you’ll find two rows of pod-like cabins made from decommissioned wine barrels, just big enough for a cozy bedroom and bathroom and an outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyards. Opportunities for tours and tastings abound, and the hotel’s restaurant offers cooking classes and picnics in addition to regular meal service — all accompanied by a variety of local wines.
