Monverde Wine Experience Hotel is a serene escape in the rolling green hills of Portugal’s Vinho Verde region. This award-winning wine hotel invites guests to slow down and savour the pleasures of nature, fine wine, and warm Portuguese hospitality.

Location

Just outside the historic town of Amarante, the hotel is ideally located for exploring the Vinho Verde wine route. Porto Airport is approximately an hour’s drive away, making Monverde a perfect countryside escape within easy reach of the city. The surrounding landscape of vineyards and woodlands offers endless opportunities for gentle walks, scenic drives, and immersive wine experiences.

Facilities

Guests can unwind in the outdoor pool with views across the vineyards, or escape to the spa for a selection of treatments inspired by the natural abundance of the vineyard. The indoor heated pool and sauna provide a perfect year-round wellness escape.

Monverde’s on-site winery offers guided tours and tastings of their award-winning wines, while the restaurant presents a refined menu celebrating the flavours of the region, perfectly paired with the estate’s own wines. Surrounded by the picturesque Quinta da Lixa vineyards, the wine bar and panoramic terraces offer the ideal setting to watch the sunset with a glass in hand.

Rooms

The hotel’s 46 rooms and suites combine natural textures, soft tones, and contemporary comforts to create a serene retreat. Many offer private terraces or balconies with views over the vineyards, while select rooms boast indulgent features such as in-room bathtubs with panoramic vistas or a private swimming pool. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a minibar, coffee facilities, and elegant en-suite bathrooms with premium amenities.

*Please note: While Monverde Wine Experience Hotel offers service and comfort to a very high standard, it is officially classified as 4* rather than 5* due to certain formal rating criteria, such as the absence of multiple fine-dining restaurants, which are required for 5* status in Portugal. These points, however, do not detract from the exceptional experience and charm of the hotel, and it consistently receives outstanding guest reviews for its setting, service, and unique wine-focused offering.
