Perfect small peaceful hotel.
This is a superb small hotel that feels well above its 3 star rating. Well appointed rooms each with a balcony giving a wonderful view over Pinhao. While a little uphill walk out of town it is worth it for the peace and tranquility. Our every need was catered to in LBV House

Don’t bother
This hotel had an almost impossible carpark to enter. In fact it was quite dangerous driving in. The room was incredibly small and it did not supply tissues, shampoo, conditioner or hand cream. The staff were unhelpful and the map of the area was useless as the notations were too small to read. It was most unsatisfactory.

Location was good, difficult getting taxis between 12 - 1 (2 told us they were on lunch) - waited almost an hour as walk to steep with luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful, but also not around for 20 when we arrived. Jacuzzi was out of order. Amazing views and terrace with a pool, nice grounds, good lunch (sandwiches) and wine, rooms modern but small (it's Europe). We would stay again! Loved hotel cat!

This is a great place. It’s high on the hillside overlooking the vineyards. There is a beautiful view right outside the front door. I would recommend you get a room with a balcony. This is a smaller hotel that is relatively new and well kept. Parking is underground. We recommend this hotel and enjoyed our stay.

Douro Valley in March
We had a lovely stay - the views and scenery are spectacular. The room was spacious and well appointed and very comfortable. The large balcony and full wall window were amazing. We arrived by train so the walk up to the hotel was quite a climb but this is not unusual for the Douro valley. For those with a car there is a good car park in thr basement.

Hotel was nice enough but the lack of sound proofing made it really difficult to get a good nights sleep. The free parking was a bonus as it is a 10-15min walk from town

Great little hotel in a beautiful location
Kingdom 195161 Great little hotel in a beautiful location Review of LBV House Hotel Pending review The LBV is a small hotel on top of a big hill. If you arrive by train get a taxi (out of the station and turn left). Once you're there you can have a nice ten minute very steep downhill walk back to the town through the back alleys. The hotel staff were very welcoming - Rui checked us in and was our barman that day. The rooms are modern with most having nice balconies overlooking the valley. We also love a good strong shower - be careful what you wish for if you use the water jets :) The bar was really comfortable with a great view and Rui gave us a little history of the hotel and the area. We also got introduced to Moustache the house cat who was very friendly and allowed us to befriend him (this isn't mandatory if you don't like cats but made our stay even more perfect). For those that are cat adverse there was no evidence there was a cat around and he was only allowed in as we were very keen to meet him. Breakfast had a nice spread however the fresh orange juice was a little thin and was lacking in flavour. We appreciate this is a subjective view but the 3 of us that tried it all felt the same. However this would not put us off recommending LBV to our friends. Overall we loved our stay - everyone was really friendly and the hotel was everything we wanted.

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.

Looks can be deceiving. Surprisingly bad.
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.
