Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

We had the pleasure of staying in the "Deluxe Bungalow," which boasted a spacious 55m2 area, and we found that it lived up to its description perfectly. The serene ambiance and comfortable amenities made our stay truly enjoyable.
The staff's exceptional service left a lasting impression on us. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay.
Moreover, the breakfast provided was outstanding.
Without a doubt, we have already started planning our return visit to this wonderful place. Thank you for providing us with such a memorable and delightful experience during our stay.

The breakfast was exceptionally made and the food varied from day to day which made each morning a little surprise! The staff was very forthcoming and friendly - the cook would always chat with us in the morning and even the owners passed by to introduce themselves. Everything was very personal and you could see and feel the love that is being poured into this hotel!

Located in Ervedosa do Douro, 29 km from Douro Museum, Ventozelo Hotel & Quinta provides accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.
Guest review
The hotel is amazing! The rooms are beautiful and pampering. The views are breathtaking. The food served in the hotel's restaurant is very good and the service is great. We enjoyed a walk in the vineyards, using the audio-guide provided at the hotel and wine tasting activity which was also very interesting.
Take into consideration that once you get to the hotel, you wouldn't want to leave, so plan your tour of this beautiful area, before or after arrival to the hotel
