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!

If you want a quiet, beautiful, and restful hotel, this is it. The breakfast is amazing. One day we stayed at the property and just walked through the vinyards, picked oranges and lemons, read on the veranda and took a tour of the winery. Everyone who works here is lovely and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. It is a little bit of a drive into town, but it is worth it!

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Getting here is half the fun and exhilarating! The reward is a peaceful, beautiful retreat with the most attentive staff. The room is large and beautifully simple (a good thing) with the world's most magnificent view of hills of vineyards and the Douro River. It'a very quiet retreat. No TV but plenty of books and table games. We got pretty good at pick up sticks! The meals were home cooked and delicious. This is a place that would be hard to find anywhere else

My husband and I had such a wonderful stay at this property. The area is so picturesque and the check in hosts were so lovely and kind. The property is so beautiful, away from the touristy vineyards and a nice escape if you prefer somewhere more secluded and quiet. The Quinta had multiple common spaces inside and outside and it was lovely to watch the sunset and drink a glass of wine outside in their garden. A bonus are the dogs, miru and kika who love all the pets. Highly recommend this place.
