Historic estate with traditional rooms, wine barrel bungalows, a pool, and a restaurant

Nestled within the charming village of Cambes, The Wine House Hotel – Quinta da Pacheca stands as a truly iconic estate within the breathtaking Douro Valley. Its reputation as a premier destination is well-earned. The winery boasts a rich history, its origins tracing all the way back to the 16th century, providing a tangible link to the region’s past. A significant portion of the hotel itself resides within a beautifully preserved 18th-century stone manor. This manor house is not just a building; it’s a living museum, carefully maintaining historical artifacts and subtle period touches that transport guests back in time.

Conveniently located a short drive away, under 10 minutes by car, is Peso da Régua, the unofficial capital of the region. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of wine at the dedicated wine museum, and explore a delightful array of local restaurants and unique shops. For those arriving by air, Porto and its international airport are easily accessible, approximately a 1.5-hour drive from the hotel.

The accommodations at The Wine House Hotel offer a unique and diverse experience. Guests can choose between rooms located within the historic manor building or opt for the unforgettable experience of staying in one of the hotel’s signature barrel rooms. These barrel rooms are precisely what the name suggests – spacious rooms cleverly designed to resemble giant wine barrels. Facing directly onto the sprawling vineyards, these rooms feature a comfortable bed, a modern shower, and a private deck, creating an unparalleled experience for wine enthusiasts. The rooms in the original manor provide a more traditional atmosphere, characterized by floral bedspreads and carefully selected vintage furniture. For those with a preference for contemporary design, there are also more modernly decorated room options available.

While The Wine House Hotel welcomes children, its inherent focus on wine culture, its rich history, and its undeniably romantic atmosphere make it particularly well-suited for couples seeking a tranquil retreat or groups of friends looking for a memorable getaway.

Beyond the comfortable accommodations, the hotel offers a range of amenities and activities. Guests can enjoy a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool or indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment. A highlight of any stay is the opportunity to delve into the fascinating history of the estate with a guided wine tour. The knowledgeable and passionate staff will lead you through the vineyards, explaining the entire wine-making process, from grape to glass, including the production of the region’s famous port wine. The hotel’s elegant restaurant provides a stunning backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. With its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the majestic Douro River, the restaurant offers a cozy and inviting ambiance, perfect for sampling delicious regional dishes, expertly paired, of course, with the exceptional wines produced on the estate.
