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.

Everything, it was an amazing experience overall. The team was great in everything we required. Was an excellent stay. The location is beautiful, we could see the sea through the window. The restaurant was divine and the spa was so relaxing and I wish I had spend more days there. Will definitely be back.

It's a family place with heritage. Joaquim is an extraordinary host – he welcomed us with grace and true hospitality. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The bed linen and towels were crispy clean and of very good quality. Very quiet neighbourhood. Breakfast from local produce was very tasty.

Breakfast was average. I grabbed a coffee and a pastry plus a piece of fruit on exit. Location is close to the river. Great for walking and accessible to some fabulous restaurants.
Room size was perfect for a 2 night stay.

Everything was very nice. I can highly recommend this place. The staff was amazing. I highly recommend taking the ebikes, a fun and impressive way to visit nearby areas. The spa is also highly recommended. We felt taken cared of all the time, and everything was thought out down to the last detail. And the views!! Wow! We hope to come back!

Guest review
Everything! From the excellent and detailed wine tasting, the views of the property, the infinity swimming pool with sunset view, the dinner and breakfast service, the painting with wine in their little garden, it was all beyond perfect. Highly recommend Ventozelo hotel and quinta for the best Duoro experience!! Perfect for couples and small groups. We couldn't hike as we were tired but this property has multiple mapped hikes which one can do as an activity.
