Hotel Rural Casa Viscondes Varzea

We visited this vinery on a tour. At first I was impressed with the whole concept and the guided tour we were given. But on returning home and unwrapping the three bottles of ‘port’ we purchased, we found it was not port but port blend. Very cheaply and crudely presented and not a bottle I would like to give as a gift to family or friends. I feel as if I have been conned.

Terrible, dirty smell of mold and very bad service from the reception. I booked this hotel based on the reviews and photos on Booking and it was a real disappointment. I lost the money because I didn't stay in the hotel even for 1 hour and they did nothing when I went to complain. Finally I stayed at QUINTA da PACHECA and it was spectacular, the attention and cleanliness of the place, really a perfect place to rest.

Visited with a group from our river cruise ship. If you are given the chance to visit this wonderful place ……go . We had the most entertaining, enjoyable, interesting and fun filled morning . Maria , our host & guide , certainly has a very interesting history to tell you . She is an inspiration and a joy to listen to . Her white port was amazing, olives were delicious, olive oil fabulous & home made bread amazing. Take a look at the scarf rack too !!! Her home / hotel is wonderful, filled with amazing furniture. Gardens are lovely & the terrace was being prepared for a function . It looked beautiful. We would consider returning to stay here for sure .
