Ventozelo Hotel & Quinta
Ervedosa do Douro, São João da Pesqueira, Portugal
Ventozelo spreads its accommodation across restored farm buildings on a large working estate. The choice ranges from rooms to more independent houses, making it worth considering how much space and privacy you need. Vineyard paths, an interpretation centre and wine tastings fill the day, while Cantina serves produce from the farm and neighbouring growers. Leave time for the pool and the views: the appeal here is spending time in the landscape, rather than simply sleeping beside it.
