After a long day of sampling wine, you can now sleep inside a giant barrel.

The hotel rooms can be found in Douro, Portugal, at the Quina da Pachecha estate.

Each 30-metre suite is a giant replica of the barrels used in the 280-year-old estate, which is owned by Paulo Pereira and Maria do Céu Gonçalves.

Not only do they look cool from the outside, the inside features a large round bed, walk-in shower, toilet, wardrobe and skylight window.

And the great thing is that is also comes with air-conditioner and Wifi.

Start your day with breakfast before exploring the 140-acre vineyard, which has been running for 116 years.

The vineyard’s bottles are stored in a nearby 18th century house, with red, white and rosé, as well as port.

Not only do you get a lot of wine, this incredible experience includes samples of locally made jam and olive oil.
