Quinta da Pacheca, Lamego

Wonderful place to stay for my husband's 60th birthday - 1 year late! We stayed in a wine barrel and amongst other things it was a masterclass in use of space! The food, staff, wine and port were all exceptional and breakfast delivered to our barrel - amazing . It was fresh, hot and so much choice! Would highly recommend for a special occasion or an occasion you want to make special.

We spent a night at the Quinta da Pacheca and had a very pleasant time. The hotel itself has a tasteful mix of new build around older buildings. In terms of location, the Quinta is right in a bend on the Douro, surrounded by vineyards. We stayed in the new rooms (the old rooms were under renovation). The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The restaurant was very good. The service was friendly and attentive. I was struck by how quiet it was. Even though there are some event spaces and the night we stayed there was a large party with music - surprisingly there was little or no noise leaking into the rest of the hotel.
