The most special find

Quinta da Gricha is one of those special places that you sometimes stumble upon. What exquisite service. Our view overlooking the most dramatic aspect of the Douro Valley was amazing but. There was so much more. Impeccable service, custom regional dinner with wine from the estate vineyards, the beautiful natural pool that we had all to ourselves, and the lovely staff every single person whether working on the kitchen garden and the vineyards or making the breakfast or greeting us and helping us discover. This was a level above - kindness, value, and quality. We discovered something here unlike every generic hotel you’ve ever been. There is nothing like snapping a ripe orange off the tree as you watch the stunning sunset. Thank you! Obrigada!

Beautiful Douro region, lovely Inn, helpful enthusiastic knowledgeable staff, excellent wine tour/information, peaceful, walkable near the vineyards… an ideal getaway.

The views are amazing. The staff was great, especially the ladies in the kitchen. Would highly recommend dining at the lodge and enjoying the surroundings with a fine glass of wine.

10/10 Exceptional

Staying at Quinta da Gricha was a great experience. The property is beautiful, nestled on hills with beautiful vineyards. The staff are remarkably helpful and wonderful to work with. We enjoyed having dinner on the property rather than traveling to outside restaurants, and we also took advantage of the wine tasting and tour.

A beautiful property. Gorgeous views of the Douro River Valley. Spacious rooms. Comfy common areas. Helpful staff. We were made to feel at home, and we did.

Our stay at Gricha was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. The Quinta was beautiful. We loved walking through the vineyards with the dogs. After venturing out in Douro for the day it was nice to have dinner available and enjoyed the wines suggested. Stay here!

The location was gorgeous with spectacular views, a welcoming fire in the fireplace, friendly helpful staff, and great breakfast spread. There were informative books in the living room that inspired us to add sights to our visit. It was a relaxing, restoring visit after lots of driving.

The best view

In the hills overlooking the Douro River valley this place is stunning. The view from the dining room (great food), porch, our room and the infinity pool are awe inspiring. We walked the vineyard with the friendly dogs and watched the workers stomp grapes.

A port paradise

We had an incredible few days staying at Quinta da Gricha. The Quinta was exceptionally clean and well designed and the view was spectacular. The staff were very knowledgeable of the property, it's history and of course the port and wine making activities on the estate and provided very relaxed but informative tours and tastings. With the Quinta having only a few rooms, you are able to enjoy a very chilled and intimate experience in the Douro Valley. The staff are incredibly accommodating and provided a high level of service, even bringing us port cocktails to the pool without needing to ask for anything. The food (and of course wine/port offering) was local and excellent and whilst there isn't a huge array of options for dinner, for a 2 night stay this was not an issue. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to fully experience the Douro Valley, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Quinta da Gricha.

Our stay for 2 nights for our wedding anniversary was exceptional in every way! The views of the land are breath taking, walking around the beautiful property and enjoying the pool was relaxing (we had good sunny weather..the pool was on the chilly side but we and eventually 2 other couples all went in for a refreshing dip!) We really enjoyed the intimate tour of the wine making area and did a tasting, bought a 20 year tawny and 2 vintage ports ( we already had been in Porto and the valley having done several tastings and this one really was the best for us.) We had pre arranged dinner for our anniversary night and took Matheus' recommendation of the 'goat rice' and it was delicious! He paired a red wine and we were perhaps in heaven! (It was so good we shared it with the other couples at least for a taste).He arranged a wonderful surprise by inviting us back to the wine production area to release the last batch of fermenting wine in the (granite?) stone tank to be transferred to the huge stainless steel tank. What a fun and interesting experience we otherwise would probably never see! Matheus went over and above to make this wedding anniversary unforgettable. He was always prompt with emails helping to arrange dinner and transportation and so very welcoming when we finally arrived. Liked access to the kitchen for wine/coffee/tea and availability of charcuterie. Our room was perfect except the bed was quite firm, we would prefer more plush. This was the highlight of our trip!

8/10 Very good

Muito bom!

Quinta de sonho para passar um fim de semana de casal ou em família a relaxar. A Quinta tem apenas 4 quartos e é super tranquila. É o sítio ideal para se ir quando se quer passar um fim de semana tranquilo. Tem o contra que não serve refeições para além do pequeno almoço e que não há propriamente ali ao lado, é preciso sair da Quinta e andar pelo menos uns 20min de carro. Pequeno almoço demasiado básico para o que se paga. Sumo de laranja era sunquick no primeiro dia (estávamos no Douro, dos locais de Portugal com as melhores laranjas do país).. Pão, queijo, fiambre, croissants, compotas, iogurtes naturais e leite, cereais fitness e granola, nada mais. Acho que deixou bastante a desejar. Não haver um bolo, panquecas, fruta tivemos de pedir, iogurtes de aromas não tinham, queijos frescos também não.. Muito básico mesmo, fiquei desiludida. No primeiro dia também não nos limparam o quarto. Quando questionámos pediram desculpa e disseram que a empregada estava de baixa, mas tinham a obrigação de nos avisar que ia ser assim. All in all muito bom, mas claramente algumas coisas a melhorar porque pelo que se paga, espera-se outro tipo de serviço e pequeno almoço.
