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.
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.
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.
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
Bel hôtel moderne, chambre petite mais confortable, sans frigo. Les espaces extérieurs et la piscine sont incroyables. La vue à couper le souffle.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
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.
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.

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!
This is a great place. It’s high on the hillside overlooking the vineyards. There is a beautiful view right outside the front door. I would recommend you get a room with a balcony. This is a smaller hotel that is relatively new and well kept. Parking is underground. We recommend this hotel and enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful views to be enjoyed from the spacious balconies and very comfortable seating. Loved having afternoon wine and watching the sunset from our balcony. Staff at breakfast was very nice and attentive. Hotel itself is very well maintained. We loved the hotel cat, very sweet and friendly.
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

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.
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.
