“Lovely. Definitely recommend.”

Attention to detail. The owner was very hands on and clearly good at what he offered. We loved the simple simplicity - every thing he offered was done well and with class.

Attention to detail. The owner was very hands on and clearly good at what he offered. We loved the simple simplicity - every thing he offered was done well and with class. Rooms were Uber clean and different - bathrooms were great. Breakfast was great and well thought out - simple pleasures - nice food in a beautiful and sympathetically renovated room - pretty bowls etc. Skimming pool are was simple but private and elegant. Would stay again for sure - wish we had time to have carried on the stay. Restaurants are a bit sparse in the area, but Available 20 mins away.

“Felt like an invited guest”

Lovely experience. Immaculately clean, fresh rooms. Nice breeze at the top of a hill under the trees, so the heat did not become too much. Great breakfast - the warm fresh country bred was divine!

“A great base for visiting Pinhão and the eastern Douro wine region.”

We booked the Nogueiras premier double room. This is located at the rear of the main property with the room opening out onto the vineyards and nearby swimming pool. The room was of a good size and comfortable. More or less as described in the on-line sites. Good AC and WiFi. A good breakfast is off… lisää

We booked the Nogueiras premier double room. This is located at the rear of the main property with the room opening out onto the vineyards and nearby swimming pool. The room was of a good size and comfortable. More or less as described in the on-line sites. Good AC and WiFi. A good breakfast is offered. There is also the option of dining-in together with a wine tasting of the wines produced by Morgadio da Calcada - this we did. The diner was fabulous with the dishes presented and explained by the chef. Ditto the wines which were presented by the owner. Well worth the additional cost. There are several hectares of vineyards at the property with open access to guests. Great to stroll through on those warm balmy afternoons. We did not get to use the outdoor swimming pool as the weather was cool and somewhat changeable at the time of our visit. There is free off-road parking for guests. The property is located on the outskirts of Provesende, a small village to the north of Pinhão and the eastern Douro valley. This is the heart of Port and the Douro wine region. Provesende is a great base if you plan to visit this region of Portugal. One note of warning: The property does not accept credit card payments. This came as a bit of a surprise as my booking was made through one of the larger hotel booking organisations which take your credit card details as a booking guarantee. Payment by cash or with bank-approved cards are accepted. We would not hesitate returning again if visiting this region of Portugal in the future.
