LBV House Hotel

A little out of the way. VERY steep climb to the hotel - taxi needed unless you are very fit. Fine walking down. Hotel was spotless couldn't fault it at all. Slight issue with tea & coffee in the room. Couldn't plug kettle in without it being on the floor - could maybe do with a small table near the plug?? Only 1 normal tea bag and 1 fruit t bag for 2 people staying. Had to ask for extra t bags, spoon and milk-wasn't supplied in the room. Breakfast was good-not a massive choice but what was there was very high quality and was replenished regularly. The hotel it self was affiliated with a restaurant in town which we went to twice-amazing food and service. Staff were very helpful-great hotel would definetely recommend and stay again.

Amazing shower with 7 heads for a standing massage! Comfortable bed and beautiful views of the vineyards. The restaurant in town is delicious too.

Great little hotel in Pinhao. Centrally located in Douro Valley. Friendly staff, good selection of continental breakfast.

We were very well received. The man at the reception was very helpful with his recommendations about restaurants and Quintas. We walked there from the train station and it is a good hike if you carry a heavy suitcase. We sadly couldn't stay for breakfast because we had an early train to catch but they hotel was an excellent value overall.

On the face of it, this place looked ok - it’s a new building and has enclosed on-site parking. No water supply on our first morning. Arguable no breakfast service on our second day. The experience was not one I would care to repeat. Location - while on a map it looks as though the hotel is in Pinhao, it’s actually up a very steep incline, which to us, made the town inaccessible except by car. The view from the room was nice, but on the balcony you’re overlooking an industrial yard with lorry parking - not ideal. Cleanliness - not up to scratch, which is surprising considering it’s a new property. The shower was not well maintained - there was a lot of mould and bacteria on the tiles which is inexcusable given there are only 11 rooms to clean. Facilities - our first morning, we woke up around 6:30 and found the water was off. No one at reception to answer the phone. When we went down around 7 - there was someone who said we’d have to wait until someone turned up. The water was restored around 8:30 but we had to replan our day as a result. No apology offered. I mentioned it when leaving and the receptionist blamed the town and said it happens from time to time. Just wow. Breakfast - I didn’t expect a lot, given it’s the off season. The first morning was ok - they did actually put out a spread, though it was sparse. The second morning they didn’t even unlock the door until 8:30. There was no spread - just a couple slices of ham and some watered down orange juice.

Lovely hotel, very modern, clean,bright in a super location on the hills overlooking the Doura river. A 15 mins walk (downhill) to the river where there are a couple of very nice restaurants. Staff at the hotel was extremely helpful and, warm and pleasant. View out of the room was great, with a large balcony where you can sit. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful too. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful away from it all few days away in abeaitiful hotel with pleasant staff, this is your place. I would absolutely stay there again.

If you are walking to the property, please know you will be walking uphill. My husband and I stayed in room #11 where there is visible water damage/mold on the wall opposite of the shower. We mentioned it upon checking out and we were informed they are aware and are closing the room in January for repairs. In the event you are allergic to cats…there is a cat at the hotel. Breakfast was good with a nice view.

Nice staff. Beautiful property with stunning view of the Douro valley. Quite a difficult downhill walk to downtown. No restaurants close. Nice room with balcony. Tub was difficult to climb into for a shower. No lotion, conditioner , coffee or Kleenex. Tasty but not extensive breakfast included. Parking in parkade also included.

Nice design, calm place with a great pool, very nice breakfast in the given price range. Warm and professional welcome at the reception.
