LBV House Hotel

Location was good, difficult getting taxis between 12 - 1 (2 told us they were on lunch) - waited almost an hour as walk to steep with luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful, but also not around for 20 when we arrived. Jacuzzi was out of order. Amazing views and terrace with a pool, nice grounds, good lunch (sandwiches) and wine, rooms modern but small (it's Europe). We would stay again! Loved hotel cat!

Chambres agréables et propres avec terrasses avec vue sur la magnifique vallée du Douro et des vignes en escalier. Piscine ouverte H24 avec possibilité d’une baignade nocturne sous un ciel étoilé avec un verre de Porto. Top

Beautiful clean contemporary design. Infinity pool overlooking the valley below is stunning!

Tres bel hotel, bien situe avec vue magnifique sur le village et le fleuve douro et les vignobles dans les montagnes. Tranquille et propre. belle piscine a débordement avec superbe vue. Seul chose qui nous a decu est le nombre de prise de courant disponible dans la chambre, tres peu...

Amazing view on the Douro valley, from our room and even from within the pool!

Wonderful small hotel right outside of town. Convenient parking garage! Beautiful views over the river. Riu was on duty the evening we arrived and he was a delight!

Ein wunderbares Hotel, das wir sehr genossen haben. Der Pool mit Blick auf den Douro war ein Genuss, das Zimmer groß mit Terrasse, allerdings nicht mit Blick zum Tal. Auch das Frühstück war hervorragend: Es gab u.a. Pasteis de Nata und frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Weg zum Hotel ist mit Koffern eine gewisse Herausforderung. Wir empfehlen, statt des kurzen Weges über Treppen und steile Wegstücke mit Kopfsteinpflaster den etwas weiteren Weg über die geteerte Straße zu nehmen, oder ggf. ein Taxi zu wählen.

Kingdom 195161 Great little hotel in a beautiful location Review of LBV House Hotel Pending review The LBV is a small hotel on top of a big hill. If you arrive by train get a taxi (out of the station and turn left). Once you're there you can have a nice ten minute very steep downhill walk back to the town through the back alleys. The hotel staff were very welcoming - Rui checked us in and was our barman that day. The rooms are modern with most having nice balconies overlooking the valley. We also love a good strong shower - be careful what you wish for if you use the water jets :) The bar was really comfortable with a great view and Rui gave us a little history of the hotel and the area. We also got introduced to Moustache the house cat who was very friendly and allowed us to befriend him (this isn't mandatory if you don't like cats but made our stay even more perfect). For those that are cat adverse there was no evidence there was a cat around and he was only allowed in as we were very keen to meet him. Breakfast had a nice spread however the fresh orange juice was a little thin and was lacking in flavour. We appreciate this is a subjective view but the 3 of us that tried it all felt the same. However this would not put us off recommending LBV to our friends. Overall we loved our stay - everyone was really friendly and the hotel was everything we wanted.

Modern B&B, immaculately clean and maintained. Secure underground parking. For the less able, it is quite a climb up to the property from the quayside.

This hotel had an almost impossible carpark to enter. In fact it was quite dangerous driving in. The room was incredibly small and it did not supply tissues, shampoo, conditioner or hand cream. The staff were unhelpful and the map of the area was useless as the notations were too small to read. It was most unsatisfactory.

Super friendly staff and very clean rooms. A bit of a walk if you want to go down to the centre of the village - but doable. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend it. Simple but good breakfast.

Nice, fairly new facility- great view of the Douro - staff were very friendly and accommodating!

Lovely property. A restaurant would have been nice. Unfortunately we had a bit of a bug issue in our room.

Accueil chaleureux, accès à la piscine en tout temps (eau rafraichissante malgré la température chaude), propreté de l'établissement, excellent petit déjeuner

Freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück, schöner Pool. Das Zimmer war sauber und modern eingerichtet, allerdings war der Abfluss im Bad verstopft. Auch tropfte die Duschbrause ununterbrochen, was man an der Rezeption lediglich zur Kenntnis genommen hat.

Clean rooms. Nice breakfast. Pretty building. Nice ,ocation.

On the face of it, this place looked ok - it’s a new building and has enclosed on-site parking. No water supply on our first morning. Arguable no breakfast service on our second day. The experience was not one I would care to repeat. Location - while on a map it looks as though the hotel is in Pinhao, it’s actually up a very steep incline, which to us, made the town inaccessible except by car. The view from the room was nice, but on the balcony you’re overlooking an industrial yard with lorry parking - not ideal. Cleanliness - not up to scratch, which is surprising considering it’s a new property. The shower was not well maintained - there was a lot of mould and bacteria on the tiles which is inexcusable given there are only 11 rooms to clean. Facilities - our first morning, we woke up around 6:30 and found the water was off. No one at reception to answer the phone. When we went down around 7 - there was someone who said we’d have to wait until someone turned up. The water was restored around 8:30 but we had to replan our day as a result. No apology offered. I mentioned it when leaving and the receptionist blamed the town and said it happens from time to time. Just wow. Breakfast - I didn’t expect a lot, given it’s the off season. The first morning was ok - they did actually put out a spread, though it was sparse. The second morning they didn’t even unlock the door until 8:30. There was no spread - just a couple slices of ham and some watered down orange juice.

Great spot overall. Banilda at the front desk went above and beyond. A rainstorm leaked through some of the walls and they shifted us to another room that was a definite upgrade. Rooms were clean and comfortable with a great deck. Would love to come back.

Notre air climatisé ne fonctionnait pas à pleine capacité et la piscine était sale. Hôtel intéressant à prime abord mais semble un peu laissé à l’abandon. La dame du déjeuner était très sympathique.

If you are walking to the property, please know you will be walking uphill. My husband and I stayed in room #11 where there is visible water damage/mold on the wall opposite of the shower. We mentioned it upon checking out and we were informed they are aware and are closing the room in January for repairs. In the event you are allergic to cats…there is a cat at the hotel. Breakfast was good with a nice view.

Amazing shower with 7 heads for a standing massage! Comfortable bed and beautiful views of the vineyards. The restaurant in town is delicious too.

It is a great hotel for a stay in the Duoro Valley. Everything is super clean, the room was a little small but comfortable and had floor to ceiling windows that opened up onto a lovely back patio overlooking the breathtaking Duoro. All of the staff were friendly and helpful including the hotel cat who welcomes everyone and will happily sit and let you pet him for as long as you want. The pool is beautiful though it was too early in Spring for a swim. The breakfast was sumptuous, there was something for everyone and plenty of it. Oh and they have free parking under the hotel. I had a great stay and would highly reccomend this hotel.

É bom, o que ficou a desejar foi a cama e os travesseiros, muito ruim, nos demais ok

Tres bel hotel, bien situe avec vue magnifique sur le village et le fleuve douro et les vignobles dans les montagnes. Tranquille et propre. belle piscine a débordement avec superbe vue. Seul chose qui nous a decu est le nombre de prise de courant disponible dans la chambre, tres peu...

Top! Enig minpuntje: kleine kamer , maar groot terras😊. Lekker ontbijt! Prachtig uitzicht en verfrissend zwembad!

This is a superb small hotel that feels well above its 3 star rating. Well appointed rooms each with a balcony giving a wonderful view over Pinhao. While a little uphill walk out of town it is worth it for the peace and tranquility. Our every need was catered to in LBV House

Lovely, huge balconies.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Small but good rooms

We had a lovely stay - the views and scenery are spectacular. The room was spacious and well appointed and very comfortable. The large balcony and full wall window were amazing. We arrived by train so the walk up to the hotel was quite a climb but this is not unusual for the Douro valley. For those with a car there is a good car park in thr basement.

Hotel was nice enough but the lack of sound proofing made it really difficult to get a good nights sleep. The free parking was a bonus as it is a 10-15min walk from town

Location was good, difficult getting taxis between 12 - 1 (2 told us they were on lunch) - waited almost an hour as walk to steep with luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful, but also not around for 20 when we arrived. Jacuzzi was out of order.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful and pleasant. Everything was just perfect! Thank you! We will recommend to friends and be back!

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Lovely facility, gorgeous view.

Very good service

Emplacement exceptionnel avec un service et personnel attentif et professionnel. Parking fermé et petit déjeuner complet avec variété même pour les gourmands. Lumière naturel dans la salle de bains très réussite.

Tivemos uma experiência maravilhosa neste hotel, atendimento gentil e fomos atendidos em nossos pedidos de maneira eficiente e atenciosa! Recomendo aos viajantes que procuram um hotel com bom atendimento e também com uma vista linda! Café da manhã muito bom! Obrigada Benildes pela gentileza!

We were very well received. The man at the reception was very helpful with his recommendations about restaurants and Quintas. We walked there from the train station and it is a good hike if you carry a heavy suitcase. We sadly couldn't stay for breakfast because we had an early train to catch but they hotel was an excellent value overall.

The staff at this property were outstanding. It was raining when we were there, but in good weather, the outside patios would have been lovely. It's a bit of a walk into town, but we were a group of four seniors and we managed fine. We took a cab back up to the property. After a long day of travelling, we loved the quietness that this property provided.

Loin de tout, mais vue extraordinaire!

Great location overlooking the Duoro

The LBV House was a great place to stay. It’s a quick drive to the main part of town. It is a short walk but quite hilly. Breakfast was delicious, staff friendly, and stay was very enjoyable.

Bel hotel mais situé assez loin des restaurants à pied.

Is was not exceptional but staff was very nice. A bit far from main town.

The LBV hotel is an absolutely beautiful property. However, it is a VERY steep climb up to it from Pinhao. Unless you have a car (which is challenging to drive in this area) or want to pay for a taxi to get to a restaurant it is not convenient. I averaged 10 miles a day travelling in Europe and this climb was A LOT. I think this is the norm for the area. Hotel was a GREAT bargain but challenging to get to.

Modern B&B, immaculately clean and maintained. Secure underground parking. For the less able, it is quite a climb up to the property from the quayside.

Et dejligt sted, med god udsigt, lækre værelser og venligt personale. Morgenmaden var dog under middel.

Accueil chaleureux, accès à la piscine en tout temps (eau rafraichissante malgré la température chaude), propreté de l'établissement, excellent petit déjeuner

The LVB house was very nice with clean rooms and a wonderful breakfast. They were a little fussy about us getting there before three but that is ok. We just wanted to change before our cruise at 3:30 so they offered us a washroom.

Hotel was good. Breakfast very limited at 9.00 hardly anything left

Wonderful location on the hillside with beautiful views of the Douro river valley. Great pool and very peaceful. Main downside with the breakfast experience. Silent room with no ambient music and the choice for breakfast limited.

The property was great but I would have liked if it also had a dinner restaurant.
