Viscondes da Varzea is a charming hotel set in an aristocratic country manor dating back to the 17th century. It is surrounded by vineyards, fruit orchards and olive groves at the heart of the Douro Region. Rural Casa dos Viscondes da Varzea is an example of Portugal's Gothic-Manueline architecture. On-site wonders include a chapel with a baroque altar, centuries' old wine cellars and the oil press, still in use. The atmospheric rooms of the hotel include antique furnishings and a deluxe bathroom with bathtub and courtesy bathrobe and slippers. Decorative elements include stone banisters and baroque goblets. There are also an elevated salt-water swimming pool and a tennis court. During the wine harvesting months, guests can participate in the wine pressing and join in folklore dinners, accompanied by concertina music. Hotel Rural Casa is located in Lamego and is close to the Murganheira Cellars, where sparkling wine tastings are regularly held.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

    A beautiful old manor house, still lived in by the family. Our room was fantastic, situated in a wing overlooking the garden and a lovely view of the valley. Very comfortable and spacious. The staff were incredible and we were really well looked...
