Vinha Boutique Hotel - the Leading Hotels of the World

The hotel and staff are wonderful and they provide world class services! Best part, is the view of the river and the beautiful landscape. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the environment is so relaxing and serene. Will definitely visit again. Thank you, staff!

A superb experience. From the warm welcome to the extraordinary room and views to the very accommodating staff, not least the very patient and accommodating Liliana and Ana. Thank you for all your kindness and good humour. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel

Beautiful and clean hotel. Amazon staff. The only thing is if you are traveling with small kids you won’t be able to use the indoor pool or the Vinha restaurant.

This hotel is amazing. Has a wonderful landscape right next to the river. As a matter of fact they even offer you a free riverboat ride to the center and a charter transportation to pick you up. I really enjoyed the attention to detail and the spa is great.

The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. The bedding and pillows make you want to give into jet lag and stay in bed all day. The hotel has a general feel of comfortable sophistication - like even though it's beautifully appointed, I could put my feet up. The hotel itself is located on the river with amazing views. It's a lovely (1 hour) walk into the town center of Porto. If you like being away from the hoopla and noise of the touristy part of town, Vinha Boutique Hotel is for you. If you want to book a meal at the Michelin restaurant, be sure to book ahead. We didn't and were unable to get a table. The sister restaurant in the hotel which served breakfast and lunch, however was very good. We had dinner there instead and enjoyed our meal. We visited in April and weather was not particularly nice, but the property has a gorgeous pool and outdoor bar/seating area which seemed like an excellent place to spend a lazy day relaxing by the pool, having a cocktail and enjoying. I would highly recommend staying here.

I stayed at the Vinha Boutique Hotel a week ago (end of May). I chose this hotel because I didn't want to be in the center of Porto, which is a bit stuffy. The center is 15 min. away by car and the hotel has a free shuttle service to Porto every day at 10.30 a.m. (drop-off point: in front of Sé Cathedral) with a return at 6.30 p.m. I stayed in a Deluxe room (room 109). A bright room in the modern part of the hotel, with a partial view of the Douro. Very nice bathroom with Bulgari welcome products (obviously, there are no Jo Malone products). The hotel consists of 2 parts: an old part (the Manor House) where the gastronomic restaurant is located and where there are the Petit Rooms, Signature River rooms, and some suites, and the "modern" building where the reception and the 2 restaurants are located. The hotel is decorated with great care. There's a lovely lounge next to the reception and a library on level -1. I visited the Sisley spa (I didn't have time to test it). Every guest is entitled to use the pool and its facilities (sauna, Turkish bath, hammock) for 90 minutes upon prior reservation. The gastronomic restaurant Vinha is supervised by Star Michelin Chef Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa (this is subject to a separate review for Vinha Restaurant). Breakfast is lovely (best-scrambled eggs I had). There is not really much to do around the hotel. The place is above all to relax. Starting June 1st the hotel has a boat taxi service operating to Porto center. I did not experience it as I left on May 29. I was disappointed with the private transfer organized by the hotel. They mentioned a private transfer in a luxury car (I was expecting a nice sedan car such as Mercedes) but got an ordinary van... For 45 Euros is not worth it. The air-conditioned system was a bit tricky as well as the light. Other than these minor problems, I enjoyed my stay. Staff is pleasant. Bear in mind that the hotel is not located in the center so you cannot go back and forth within a few minutes. A taxi ride from the center to the hotel is about 10 to 13 Euros. In summary: nice stay, quiet hotel. Good place for a relaxing getaway.

This hotel is simply exceptional in every way, I can't wait to return. The amazing staff, the gorgeous building and interiors, the location, the unforgettable food and drink. It was absolutely amazing ❤️

Overall hotel is outstanding, impeccable service. The SPA was amazing. For this winter season, they should provide fire pits for the guests and some wine tasting activities.

Great property in a fairy tale setting. Attentive staff. Concierge should hired for the busier months.
