We had lunch at this beautiful hotel today. This would be the perfect spot to stay for a few days absolute rest and relaxation. The setting is simply superb with wonderful views, grounds, swimming pool and beautifully appointed public areas. Our lunch was very good indeed but perhaps slightly overpriced. As others have said, the road is very narrow and... More

We arrived in a bit of a heap and were immediately soothed by the charm and calm of our hosts and their hotel; fabulous food, delicious wines[not just hefty reds] , delightful people, gorgeous scenery and perhaps the best wildflowers ever... lovely, indeed magical, walks through the quinta , and amazing landscapes. OK, it probably helped that we were the... More

We had a 1 night all inclusive reservation at this well placed hotel and cellar. To arrive there you have to go through an old road with beautiful landscapes. Once there, the views threw the valley are amazing and very peaceful. There are walking itineraries that will take you around the vineyards, down near the river and to an old... More

The Douro Valley is probably the most beautiful region in Portugal. Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora de Carmo is located at the top of one of the Douro’s hills, a very windy 30 minute drive from Pinhao (north side of river heading towards Sabrosa, you will go through a very small hamlet, Covas do Douro). The hotel is a very... More

Loved, loved, loved the Douro Valley! We found this Quinta from reading a blog. What a great find. It is a little hard to get to as you have to take a very long, winding, hilly, narrow road to get there but it was well worth it. Once you are there it is paradise. Beautiful setting, great room, wonderful food... More

This hotel offers an outstanding experience. Located in Douro the land of the Porto wine, the hotel is the perfect place to relaxing, walk and see the amazing view over the Douro river and the vineyards. They make tours to the wineries and explain all the wine process. The food is excelent and we had wine proofs in the wineries.... More

Small hotel in a very nice location, very peaceful and isolated. Their wines are very good as well, very modern in style. My main problem with this place was that, as other reviewers pointed out, its very isolated and really impossible to go anywhere for dinner (driving in the northern douro at night is impossible, life threatning actualy). This would... More

This place is very remote especially if you are driving but it's worth the drive given the beautiful scenery. Best way to this resort for next time would be the boat ride across the river. Our room was nice, spacious and well appointed, apparently the one room with a queen bed. Given the remoteness eating out is not really an... More

Quinta Nova is an absolute dream! Whether you’re a wine aficionado or not, nothing beats opening your curtains in the morning and seeing the sun touching the vines on the hills. It’s breathtaking! I stayed here for one night only, but it made me feel completely serene and one with nature. The drive up there is quite an adventure, these... More
