Wine lovers have now got a new luxurious destination here at Portugal’s Quinta da Pacheca estate in Douro. Not only luxury but the place stands out for its own uniqueness what so ever. This is the place which makes your night memorable by providing you a starry night sleep just feet away from the sprawling vineyard inside luxurious oversized wine barrel rooms.
Quinta da Pacheca is an innovative creation of its owners, Paulo Pereira and Maria do Céu Gonçalves. Spreading over 140 acres of land, the estate holds 10 luxurious barrel-suits which can impress you with its exquisite interiors. Each barrel is about 270 square feet, as reported by Wine Tourism of Portugal.
The exterior of the barrels is made of simple pine wood, and each one’s interior is designed with elegant bedroom plus attached spa. Infact every inch of the estate is totally Instagrammable. Each air conditioned barrel features expensive amenities like a private bathroom with modern fixtures, a walk-in shower, a king-size round bed and rooftop skylight to gaze at the stars, a private terrace and Wi-Fi.
The property is one of the best estates in the Douro region of Portugal and also one of the first properties to bottle wine under its own label.
The hotel offers its guests to enjoy the taste of its products and an inside tour of its wine making room too. Here you can even get a chance to taste 116-year-old wine along with samples of locally made jam and olive oil. The hotel also has an gorgeous restaurant to savour a sumptuous dinner.
As a vineyard representative has rightly said, “In an idyllic and romantic setting, these wine barrel rooms will provide visitors a unique experience of the nature and significance of the Douro wine region.”
However if anyone opt for normal hotel rooms, the property has the provision for it as well.
This wine-lover’s paradise will cost you around £219 (about $286 USD) per night. Though little on a pricer side, still a stay at this wine house hotel is worth booking.
