The Vine House—Quinta São Luiz, Peso da Régua Hotels
Former port-making home now a modern hotel with a pool, a restaurant, and views of the Douro River
Escape to the heart of Portugal’s famed Douro Valley and discover the enchanting Vine House, a historic property brimming with character and charm. This meticulously restored hotel, boasting nearly four centuries of history, offers a stylish and comfortable retreat, perfectly situated just an hour and a half’s drive from the vibrant city of Porto. Nestled in the picturesque locale of Tabuaço, perched elegantly above the tranquil Douro River, the Vine House resides on the esteemed Quinta São Luiz estate. This estate is renowned for its exceptional port wines, crafted with passion and tradition passed down through generations.
Beyond the allure of world-class wine tasting, the surrounding region offers a wealth of cultural and historical attractions. A short thirty-minute journey will take you to the Museu de Lamego, an exquisite museum housed within the opulent walls of an 18th-century palace. Here, you can immerse yourself in the art and history of the region. For those seeking a glimpse into the distant past, a scenic one-and-a-half-hour drive will lead you to Vila Nova de Foz Côa, where you can explore fascinating cave carvings dating back an astonishing 25,000 years.
The rooms at the Vine House are designed with a contemporary aesthetic, seamlessly blending modern comfort with subtle nods to the region’s winemaking heritage. Expect a sophisticated palette of neutral tones complemented by clean, minimalist lines and the rich, deep burgundy red of the tiles, a visual reminder of the land’s fertile vineyards. Each room offers generous space for relaxation, and select rooms feature private balconies or terraces, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the winding Douro River and the lush valley beyond. These balconies are an ideal spot to savor a glass of the estate’s finest port wine as you take in the stunning vistas. The bathrooms are elegantly appointed with sleek white and deep red tiles, and each features a luxurious rainfall shower head for a truly refreshing experience.
A true highlight of the Vine House experience is its inviting pool area. Positioned to offer unparalleled views of the majestic Douro River, the pool provides a serene oasis for relaxation and contemplation. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine or port in hand, basking in the warmth of the Portuguese sun. While the hotel features a charming on-site restaurant located within the breakfast room, offering a curated selection of dishes, guests seeking a wider variety of culinary options should be prepared for a scenic thirty-minute drive to the nearest supermarket or selection of restaurants.

From the seemingly never-ending festivals to the diverse range of cultures that have made Portugal their home over the centuries, to the simple but delightful culinary experiences, the vibrant heritage and cultural diversity of this country captivate travelers.
When is the best time to visit?
Portugal is a year-round destination, but if possible, travelers should aim to visit in the springtime when the almond blossoms and wildflowers cover the countryside.
Where should you go in Portugal?
Experience the traditional Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon before it will be absorbed by the rest of the bustling city’s culture, tour the ancient ruins of Sintra and historic Evora, walk along the bluffs of Europe’s most southwestern point at Cabo de São Vicente, and relax on the beaches of Ilha de Tavira.
How many days do I need?
There are too many destinations that are must-sees in Portugal to see the country in less than a week. At least 10 days is best.
Getting Around Portugal
Although smaller than neighboring Spain and France, distances in Portugal are still significant—traveling from Porto to Faro, for example, takes five hours by car. Flying is a quick and comfortable way to get between the country's major cities, with the largest airport being Lisbon Airport (LIS). Going by bus or train are also options here.
