So wonderful that it’s been revived, Carol! And what a story behind it as well. I’ll bet the food was delicious?

Thanks for your comment, Thalia. Yes, the food is locally sourced and varies daily depending on what is fresh. Our meals were delicious and nicely presented. -CW

What a beautiful place. The terrain, although a bit greener, reminds me of the hills here in western Idaho. I love the cost difference between dinner with and without wine. Wine pairings here in the US will set you back over a 100 bucks. Give Paul a hug for me and tell him the photos are lovely.

Great article! What is the best time(s) of the year to visit that region?

Spring and Fall. In September it is especially busy as it's harvest season, so if you plan on traveling there that month make travel plans well in advance. -CW

Beautiful photos! We love Pinhao. We used to sleep there in our van before it got so crowded. I stay at the Vintage sometimes. The food looks amazing!!! Obrigada!
