The Pine House

With a 9.4 out of 10 score from 491 reviews, The Pine House is one of the higher-rated addresses in Peso da Régua, the riverside town at the heart of the Alto Douro Wine Region. The five-star property has a strong focus on comfort and privacy, with soundproof rooms, a terrace and a sun deck for guests who want to look out over the surrounding hills.

Rooms come with a dining area, coffee machine and minibar, useful for travellers who prefer to keep some meals flexible, and pets are welcome for those on the road with an animal in tow. Family rooms are also available.

Three room types are on offer: a Double Room (103 EUR), a Suite (103 EUR) and a Suite with Balcony (149 EUR), the latter giving direct outdoor access for guests keen to take in the Douro landscape, within easy reach of Peso da Régua's riverfront and the wine estates that line the valley.
