Hotel Rural Casa Viscondes Varzea

Absolutely stunning property. Maria and Pedro welcomed us into their home and made us feel like family. Had delicious dinner and breakfast buffet served in their beautiful dining room. The entire working property is classic Portuguese Quninta living. Staff was amazing. Looking forward to staying there again. Highly recommend if you are visiting Lamego.

The hotel has great reviews online, but I think that the Coivid-19 pandemic has hit this hotel hard to the point that the old reviews are now false advertising. In short, you'll enjoy this hotel if you enjoy old knick-knacks or paintings of family members - each room is completely filled with them. You may also like this hotel if you like this style and are looking for a wedding venue. However there are a few drawbacks. Due to a lack of staff or lack of money, the property has not been properly maintained - rooms are dirty, we found a lot of black mold in the bathroom, the backyard garden has not been maintained, and the pool area was dirty with some fountains filled with green algae. Our bedroom was very dusty/moldy with old curtains and a matching quilt. The mattress was very hard. We had to keep the windows open to allow fresh air to circulate - there was not air conditioning or fans in our room. We wanted to spend the least amount of time possible in the room, so we decided to go down to the pool. Unfortunately there was bird poop all over the seats and cushions, so we had to turn over the cushions ourselves and then put towels on top to use. The flys are what drove us away from the pool, as there were too many to count. There were fruit trees and horses below the pool and maybe that is where they are coming from. Lastly, breakfast is free and I'd buffet style. The food is best described as a contenental breakfast plus some slices of deli meat.

Very cool old farm house that has been in same family for 200 years. HOuse is charming with beautiful salons to sit and read by fire. SIts in a 180 acres of vineyards. Room was so-so... beds and pillows hard, and filled with about 5 space heaters. Rather remote location, but overall worth the stay

The location is fantastic with the manor house situated in the vineyards. The manor house has decades of history with the decor is a collection of the family's memories and artefacts. We only had breakfast which was more than adequate, but I'm fairly sure the dinner would be excellent. Rooms fairly basic but again quaint. The estate is beautiful with a tennis court, pool area and loads of space. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a weekend away.
