The pillows were a little flat.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The adorable dogs greeted us outside. Our room had the most incredible view. The place as very comfortable and the pool area was perfection. Staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations for the rest of our trip!

While I like to indicate what was not good I just cannot identify anything wrong with this place! Recommend it 1000 percent!

This is an exceptional place to stay in the Douro valley and off the tourist trap area! The views and facility and food is unbelievable!! We stayed only one night and wish we had stay at least two or three!!

The hotel is reached by a winding, narrow road and sited in the middle of a vast vineyard. The views of the River Duoro and valley are beautiful. The rooms are clean and extremely comfortable. Matthew was very hospitable and helpful. He cooked an amazing meal which was delicious, using vegetables from the garden. Thank you Matthew.

Nothing! It was all perfect.

Wow! Exceeded expectations! The location and the accommodations were perfect. The view of the Douro Valley was the best comprehensive view. We were served a private charcuterie and wine tasting on the balcony after sitting by the eternity pool to relax after the long drive up. So worth it! The rooms are beautiful and our host Luís was the best.

Luis and Mathias were so kind and helpful. The entire staff was exceptional. The property is absolutely gorgeous. It was the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. The breakfast was amazing. We also ordered dinner one night and a charcuterie board the other night which were also delicious and very helpful to have as an option. Their port and wines are exceptional! I hope to go back. Loved it!

Nothing, everything was perfect

The property and the staff are amazing, Matheus the manager was outstanding. He contacted us before arrival to let us know that there was no restaurant at the property but they could prepare something. And he prepared a soup and a cheese table. He was very nice. The breakfast was superb. The house itself is very comfortable. The location is outstanding. We will be back for sure!

We were not too keen to eat in the evening food prepared and transported from 30 mins away in Ervedosa do Douro except one evening when we had soup and salad - portions were minscule.Fruit choice at breakfast was at times not very interesting - white melon and pineapple and caloric - the latter hardly local product .When they did provide raspberries and blueberries they were few and far between but breakfast otherwise excellent. The road to the property is hair-raising and a little scary particularly at night as in parts three is little passing room and you need to back to make way for oncoming vehicles so avoid traveling at night.If you do want the evening menu check in advance that you like the main dish. as there is no choice.other options are to have late lunch in many surrounding restaurants.

Four roomed quinta in stunning location overlooking vineyards and unspoilt upper reaches River Douro viewed from room as well as infinity pool - I would not look elsewhere if this is your priority as was the case with us and any limitations need to be looked at in perspective The room was comfortable and stylish with quality mattress and bed linen. Due to its isolation you need to understand for a small property staff are limited and numbers resourceful and there are restriction on food available understandably

Our stay at the Quinta de Gricha was brilliant! We had the most amazing two days staying there - the food was delicious, the service amazing (thank you Matheus!) and the setting idyllic.

Absolute perfection. A beautiful property in a fascinating region. Exceptional, warm and friendly staff.

The road in to the vineyard/Quinta was a bit harrowing to drive. But no issues with it. Made it feel even more intimate. I suggest eating dinner and tastings on site, rather than elsewhere and then driving back in the evening after dark. That may not have been as easy! Otherwise, nothing I would suggest that we didn’t like.

Friendly, intimate, bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed. Thanks so much Matheus. Beautiful setting. Fireplaces in common rooms. Our rooms themselves were comfortable, spacious and the ensuite bathrooms were big and beautifully tiled. Outstanding. They arranged for us to have dinner onsite ( no onsite restaurant but we were able to preorder and prepared at another vineyard and brought to us) - service of that meal was outstanding and wine pairing with the meal - amazing! Matheus even gave us an impromptu tour of the winery area even though we had not precooked. Too cold to use pool but it looked amazing. The Churchill wines were amazing, we enjoyed thoroughly and the ability to try different wines while we say in front of the fire was delightful. ( for a small fee of course ). Breakfast included the next am was buffet style and good options.

Not much to say, except maybe the pool access path could be improved.

Quinta da Gricha is a large home with plenty of spaces for guests but with only 4 bedrooms. Our family took up 2 of those! Our hosts, Mateus and Luis were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Their level of hospitality is something we have not experienced at many 5 star hotels. Breakfast was excellent, as was the dinner brought in by a local partner restaurant.

NOTHING! It was absolutely amazing! KUDOS Luis and the CHURCHILL WINES!

I am not sure where to begin. It was absolutely the highlight of our road trip, and we wish we had booked two nights! The pool, the view, the hiking, the dogs, the wine tour, Luis and his hospitality, dinner planned, and breakfast.... amazing! I would recommend twofold for any trip you want: romantic, getaway, honeymoon, anything! And do NOT let the road scare you! It was no problem, and people expect drivers on the other end, so we came across NO problems at all, up or down!

Located high up on the hillside with stunning views over the surrounding vineyards and the river Douro. Though the drive might be slightly stressful, the stay is absolute relaxation. Extremely peaceful and quiet with only 4 rooms. Tasty wine of the winery can be enjoyed in a special tasting or by glass as you please.

Stayed in October 2023

We weren't sure what it meant that the hotel had a partnership with a local restaurant and because both of us wanted to have wine with dinner, we wouldn't have been able to drive there (the restaurant is off-site). However, staff were able to order dinner from the restaurant and do a wine pairing for us, which we loved. The room was a bit smaller than I had anticipated and the beds weren't as comfortable as I had hoped (but still fine).

The location is stunning and the staff were wonderful. We also loved the tour explaining their wine producing process. The pool was also great. It was a very relaxing and beautiful experience.

The drive to the Quinta is a challenge, I cannot lie. But beyond the steep and winding road is a the prize of the most delightful stay!

Quinta da Gricha was an exceptional experience. We honestly felt lucky to have discovered this beautiful vineyard and inn. The breakfast was lovely, a bountiful spread of food, prepared by lovely hosts.

Nobody likes the road to the winery but that is part of the adventure. Be patient, considerate and keep an eagle eye on where to pull off to let incoming cars and trucks pass by. Be aware of ditches along the side. Drive slowly. Do not plan to drive back and forth at night. The smaller the car the better. We drove an 8 passenger Mercedes van so our drive was more exciting than most.

Breathtaking views, amazing pool area with 3 levels of garden nestled into stone walls where we gathered to enjoy a leisurely swim, wonderful wine and good friends. We learned a lot about how port is made, how grapes are grown and why some ports are sweeter than others. Louis our host and mentor, was a charming, efficient and very knowledgeable. Finally, the meals were the best I have had in Portugal after over 3 weeks of dinners.

Stayed in September 2023

It would have been good for the pool area and loungers to have been cleaned and prepared for use. We cleared tree debris ourselves

Breakfast good. A few more options on scrambled eggs would have been welcomed. Louis and his staff Christina and Cecilia were attentive.
