Quinta de La Rosa

Came for a tasting and stayed for the BEST lunch 😃 The tasting is the most beautiful Ive seen in Portugal to date. I also love that the wines you select come with a history of the bottle including the weather conditions of that year and how it impacted the cultivation. We came without reservations and were accommodated with both an a la carte tasting and a wonderful lunch in their restaurant which, quite frankly, may have been the best meal Ive had in Portugal Thank you for a wonderful experience 😋

Sweet spot overlooking the Douro River. Overall, the property is fantastic. It's stretched out along the river at multiple levels. Our room had a direct view over the pool and river. The shower was great and the bed comfortable. Included breakfast had diverse offerings and was delicious. Dinner, not included, was delicious and venue nic. Staff was personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

We went for a tour and port/wine tasting. The quinta was within walking distance from the Pinhao train station, with most grades flat or gentle. The reception staff were polite and helpful. We waited for our tour in a nice open area outdoors, then met the guide in the sales area. She started with a helpful video about the winery's history, then took us to the mixing/stomping areas and down into the cellars. The tasting itself was in a modern room overlooking the cellars - very atmospheric! We tried a white and a red wine and two ports. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and made sure to check in with each guest. A really nice experience overall.

I hesitated booking here when we initially planned our overseas trip. We wanted to visit the Douro Valley and a few wineries but travelling with two teenagers who are uninterested in wineries I questioned where to stay. ||Quinta de la Rosa was perfect. We checked in and booked two rooms side by side. One for the teens and one for us. We booked into the Amerala rooms and they were just perfect. Beautiful rooms with parking outside our rooms. Views over the river with our own seating outside our room. ||The teens stayed in their room catching up on computer time while we took the free winery tour and then paid for a port tasting directly after the tour. The tour was fascinating without being too long. A nice intro to the property and port and wine process. ||We had dinner at the restaurant which was lovely. The breakfast included the next morning was one of the best experiences on our trip. ||It wasn’t warm enough to use the pool but I’m sure this would have been welcomed by us all if the weather permitted. ||Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as this place worked perfectly for our family.

The hotel is lovely, with an incredible location right above the Douro river. Fabulous views. Very friendly staff. The restaurant is excellent. We also did their premium wine tasting and tour of the winery and vineyards, which was all very good, and the very old terraced vineyards in particular were a treat to visit. The hotel is also well located near many other excellent Douro wineries.

Quinta de la Rosa was an excellent experience. Originally we had meant to stay there too. Patrica was our tour representative and she was very informative and gave us a lot of information and answered any questions along the way. |Enjoyed watching the little video on the history of de la Rosa too. |The tasting room was exceptional and the setting was really really nice. Four different wine to taste with the explanation for each. 👏👏👏

This was a luxury one-night stay during our two-week Interrailing holiday. It’s pretty expensive - a great bedroom with an awesome view, but for some reason you have to take your nespresso pods to a communal machine to make coffee (which wasn’t explained to us at check in).||Outdoor Tim’s Terrace bar was a fab place to sit and read and the oddly-shaped swimming pool was nice. The winery tour was underwhelming, easily bettered by one we recently did near Stroud (Woodchester) because there really isn’t that much to see. Our guide, Patricia, was enthusiastic and knowledgable with excellent English.||Food at dinner was exceptionally good, and the many inexperienced staff coped ok. On another guest’s recommendation we opted for the accompanying mid-range wine flight - and were surprised to have four tiny glasses poured before the meal had even arrived. Our request for a small top up of white to accompany our starter was met with incredulity. At €26 each, given the wine only came from next door, this felt super costly. Breakfast was every bit as delicious as we’d hoped for.||For some reason the hotel is reluctant to assist guests with station pick up, and I don’t know why. Arriving by train into Pinhao must be routine, but emails beforehand suggested we don’t bother and just drive. To be fair, reception did willingly book a return taxi. I suspect the local taxis are run as a cartel - we saw Mr Big in action “pirata, pirata” - and Quinta de la Rossa is not in his good books.||So look, we had a great time overall, it was a bit of luxury and we don’t regret going. But it was a very, very expensive stay, and at that price I’d hoped for perfection, which we didn’t get.

Beautiful place to stay! This Quinta is wonderfully located within walking distance of Pinhão. The grounds surrounding their facilities are immaculate. You feel like you’re in a painting and every photo you take is amazing. Great amenities; TWO great pools, loungers, shared common areas with TVs, books, games, coffee makers and water filters. Most Americans are disappointed by the availability of good clear water but this place has filtered and cooled water dispensers all over. The staff are very friendly. Most speak English very well. The two restaurants, one casual and the other fine dining, are amazing. I tried 3-4 entrees between my wife and I and was blown away by the quality and delicious combinations of flavors. They do not have 24/7 reception and an old fashioned check-in/out process so plan ahead. Some of the rooms are in a newer building that is a 4 min walk from the main area. It’s not that bad but i could see those with mobility issues having problems. The wine tour is amazing, informative, and delicious. Our tasting was in the cellar which I recommend as you will be in for a surprise. Rooms are ample sized, great shower/water pressure, and comfortable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located place to stay out this place at the top of your list.

This hotel was a major highlight during our 8-day visit to Portugal. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, with a jaw-dropping view. The grounds were gorgeous, well-maintained, and extremely serene and peaceful. Our favorite meals of the entire trip were at the two restaurants on the property. Nothing has even come close. The staff was cheerful and helpful, especially Raquel, who gave us many tips for our trip, both in and out of the Duoro region. Just a spectacular experience all around. The only low point was when we had to leave.

The 180 degree amazing view was spectacular, as we look out the unblocked view of cruise ship sailing by. Crispy sardine with Alioli sauce and tomato soup. Main course I had the grilled sea bass and aged beef with foie gras. Savoring each entré were nothing short of magical, it is definitely a highly recommended spot to enjoy a leisurely afternoon lunch

Quiet snobby place. Would not even sell us a glass of wine. The only thing this place has going for it is of you that it offers.

Quinta de la Rosa really was the highlight of my short stay in the Douro Valley. STAFF - absolutely awesome. Friendly and so helpful. They're more than happy to call cabs for you if you don't happen to have a car already. Very accommodating for any questions. LOCATION - it's a short 5 minute drive from the town center/train station. Cab fare will be around 6 euros each way. We didn't mind taking a cab everywhere, if anything, we liked being more secluded and having an awesome view certainly made up for it. FOOD - breakfast is included and was full of delicious meats, cheese, pastries, fruits, and drinks. Dinner can be ordered for 25 euros and will be served on the balcony, while you're looking at the wineries across the river in the sunset. It's a 3 course dinner and comes with 3 wine pairings. I recommend this. ROOMS - everything you would need, with extra towels for the pool. Don't dare open the windows after dusk because there's A LOT of bugs... WINERY TOUR - they offer a pretty informative tour for just 5 euros, including a tasting of 5 wines (table + port wines). It's pretty cheap and the groups are small so it's great for asking questions. Their port wines are some of the best I've had in the Douro Valley and Porto. TLDR; come here!

This is a review of their restaurant. The views and the food were spectacular. But the service was abysmal. It took us over 15 minutes to get a menu at lunch time. It took forever to get an order into the kitchen and then everything came out so slowly we were ready to leave way before the food was there. Getting the attention of a waiter was more difficult than trying to find a bottle of Napa Cabernet in Douro.

Great views and great food in addition to staying on a vineyard (wine, port, and olive oil - loved the olive oil enough that I bought a bottle). The restaurant gave us one of our favourite meals of a 3 week vacation. Enjoy.

We stayed at Quinta de la Rosa by "mistake", in the meaning that we were not planning to stop in Pinaho originally. We wouldn't have found it unless a local person pointed us there, and it has been one of the best hotels that we have had during our holiday. The view of all the rooms is on the Douro river, the atmosphere is totally relaxed and very calm, they have a swimming pool and organize free tours of the Quinta for the guests. Breakfast is also very nice, we did not try the dinner service though. Totally recommended if stopping in Pinhao!

We had an excellent dinner this evening! Everything was delicious. We had beets carpaccio and squid for starters, cod and baby goat for entrees, and shared an almond tart with hazelnut cream. Highly recommend this place. It's also quite reasonable!

Stayed 3 nights recently. The staff were wonderful and attentive. The rooms are very well appointed with lovely views of the river. A typical Portuguese good breakfast is included. One of the few hotels where I don't have anything bad to stay. When I come back to the area I will very happily stay here again. Highly recommend.
