ホテル ルーラル キンタ ド シルバル(Hotel Rural da Quinta do Silval)

Oh my goodness. I don’t even know where to start. I had never been to Portugal and didn’t mean to fall in love with it. But I have fallen in love with Portugal and this property and the amazing people in it are the reason why. Most beautiful and most relaxing, welcoming place. I hope everyone reading this review goes and finds out for themselves. Most beautiful hosts, most breathtaking location, most amazing rooms, wine and meals! I hope to get back to Portugal soon and when I do, it will definitely start with a night or few at this property. Thank You for your hospitality!

A family run wonderful hotel that has its own vineyards, & port/wine making facilities. Spectacular views and the hotel is clean, friendly, lovely food & the whole set up is run with a passion! Explicit tour & tasting session - highly recommend it!! Great experience

Unfortunately a prepaid two nights’ stay - if not, we would have left. Very small ground floor room - only view is pillars outside. Rude service and a hostile hostess, that would not do anything to solve various problems. Poor food to outregous prices the first night, and «Fawlty towers» style service in the dining room. Not easy to escape for dinner, because Pinhao with other restaurants is almost 10km away. But luckily we did the second night. But the view from the hotel and vineyard is beautiful…

This place was wonderful. The staff was so helpful, kind and hardworking! They catered to all our requests(wine by the pool please…) with smiles. Beatrice, the owner, works her tail off to make sure everything is done right. Her staff, Christina, Candido and others are just as hardworking. Driving there is an experience but worth it. Dining there is a must(plus-you don’t want to drive at night with any wine in you) We highly suggest this property and will tell all our friends to stay here.

The location of the hotel is amazing, there are views in all direction. Unfortunately, the service is very poor, the staff is rude and unfriendly. We had a three course dinner at the hotel the first night which wasn’t only expensive but the quality of the food was extremely poor and tasteless.

Beautiful location! With stunning views! Very friendly staff. We had a tour of the vineyard along with a wine tasting which was very informative and full of passion. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed. The food and accompanying wine were nice. Highly recommended!

The hosts were outstanding. Meal wonderful and wine superb!

Beautiful place with stunning views Very personal service, if you are interested in wine and vineyards the tour which is offered at the property is highly recommended.

The location is very restful and pretty, and the facilities are very high quality. However, think of this as more like a family B&B than a hotel. Dinner menus aren’t written down, cuisine is homely and limited options for vegetarians. Things are a little chaotic and even a bit comedic in a Fawlty Towers kind of way. Staff are very friendly and keen to please but they would benefit from more staff to make things run more smoothly.
