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.

A beautifully decorated 7-room home that sits up on a hillside amongst vineyards in the heart of the Douro Valley - with spectacular views in all directions. (There's a reason they keep winning awards). The rooms, all with private bath, are elegant and warm, the hearty breakfast features homemade cakes, and there are lots of porches and balconies to soak... More

Very nice place, with an amazing view of the river Douro. Room was very clean, comfortable and with old-style wood furniture. The breakfast was home-made, delicious and plentiful. The owners are very kind and warm people. This "pousada" do not have a restaurant, but the owner suggested us a good "tasca" nearby.

Fantastic view! VERY nice casa. Quiet and relaxing. Approx 1 km from Mesão Frio village, you can walk but be careful, the traffic can be crazy and it gets dark in the evening. The breakfast is good; lots of coffee in big cups, white bread and cakes. Cheese, ham, jam, fruit and youghurt. Only 7 guestrooms and the host lives... More

Great place to stay for a few nights. Good breakfast, however it can improve. The room was ok, specially for the views. The house is beautiful and the swimming pool gives it a special country touch. However, the webpage for reservation should have more detail in price and which kind of room you will get when you book in advance... More

An awesome place to arrive at after a day of cycling. Beautiful views, great poolside rooms overlooking the Duoro, and an amazing and accommodating hostess (she happily allowed us to change our reservation three times) who guided us to one of the best restaurants we ate at in our three week trip. Thank you Maria! We wish we could have... More

The location is spectacular, the 'casa' is beautiful, very comfortable and very clean. The owners and staff are very pleasant. The breakfast area is beautifully set with delicious homemade cakes and jams and a lot of other things. That was a 5 star stay! Its a shame for the mad local drivers that drive like there is no tomorrow and... More
