Quinta do Vallado Wine Hotel
Vilarinho dos Freires, Peso da Régua, Portugal
Quinta do Vallado combines a traditional manor house with a striking schist wing and newer Eira suites. The contrast makes it especially appealing if you enjoy architecture as much as wine. Tastings, regional meals and a swimming pool encourage a leisurely stay, with Régua convenient for exploring further. The setting looks over the Corgo valley near the Douro, rather than directly onto the main river; roads across the valley are part of the outlook.
