Set in beautiful gardens, this former Taylor's wine warehouse occupies an unrivalled position on the banks of the River Douro at the heart of Portugal’s Port wine region. Dating from the 18th century, the Vintage House Hotel has been tastefully refurbished and modernised in the traditional Douro style, whilst preserving the unique heritage of the property. More than 100 varieties of port can be enjoyed in the hotel’s bar and restaurant and, for those with a real appreciation for port, in the hotel’s wine academy.
The Vintage House Hotel is ideal for those seeking luxury, relaxation and tranquillity. It also serves as the perfect base from which to explore one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions of Europe.
