When we arrives we didnt believe it was even possible that the place was even more perfect in real life than in pictures. Maria was very kind and told us everyrhing we needed to know about the area. We staied there for 2 nights, and left the room only in order to eat. Perfect stay, the best place we've been... More

This lovely Casa was our headquarters for touring the Duoro Valley. After navigating the narrow, twisting roads this is a beautiful property to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery. The property is well appointed and maintained. The Hosts are very attentive and have excellent staff. Breakfast was very yummy, particularly the home made pastry items!

My husband and I travel to Portugal at minimum once a year (he is Portuguese). Enjoying the wines of Portugal always brings us to the Alentejo and in this case the Douro. We brought friends with us in September 2012 so they could witness firsthand and through my eyes (not Portuguese) the many things I love about this enchanting country... More

We spent 2 nights at this Casa in Portugal, but after visiting multiple B&B's in Northern Portugal, this was definitely the best one! Lovely property, great hosts, helpful staff, fantastic breakfast, and a wonderful pool to relax in the afternoon sun with a postcard view made this place fantastic.

We spent 2 nights in Casa de Canilhas. We were greeted by the most charming hostess, who made us feel at home right away. Overlooking the fabulous Douro River, are room was spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was spectacular, and it seemed that whenever we needed anything, by the pool, in the house or on the veranda, there was always... More

We couldn't have had a better stay at this B&B. It was a charming hotel with unbelievable views. Everyone was very accommodating and helpful directing us around the area. The breakfast was great. We could only stay one night but wished we could have stayed more!

Gorgeous location with sweeping views of the Douro valley. Beautifully manicured outdoor spaces, lovely house built in 1994 built in traditional style and very tastefully decorated. Lovely pool. Our room was in an outbuilding just below the main house -- very secluded and with a small private patio area. Lage bathroom with a wonderful bathtub. We enjoyed sharing breakfast time... More

A rather let down after reading the supposedly positive reviews here. The service was very poor leaving you with a bad aftertaste. Clearly there are better options for a good holiday along the Douro river, which is spectacular by the way.

Winding roads lead us north with breathtaking vistas of the Douro river up to Casa de Canilhas, a spectacular B&B nestled in the vineyard covered hills. Maria & Victor were welcoming, charming and authentic. Views from every nook and cranny abound, our room had it's own private patio to sit and soak up the vision of the lovingly tended earth... More

Absolutely gorgeous setting. The owners were helpful and warm. We enjoyed great conversation and a glass of port with other guests by the fire in the living area. Breakfast the next morning included delicious homemade baked goods and jams. Beware the drive if you are an inexperienced mountain driver with manual transmission.
