My husband and I stayed at the Casa in November 2011. It took about 1.5 hours to drive here from Porto – easily, as long as you have the correct address. Once you get to Pinhao, the roads are quite narrow and not well-lit (with steep cliffs on one side), so driving at night is not advisable. Since it was... More

This hotel was recommened to us by the Guest House Douro in Porto , a great place to stay - see my review. Chaneleiros is the kind of place my wife and I like to stay, small, intimate and very much part of the local scene. This hotel is about 3 miles out of Pinhao - about when you think... More

I travel all over the world on business and have first hand knowldege of what true service is. I would prefer this place over Four Seasons, The Ritz or any other 4 or 5 star hotels anywhere in the world. This should give you an idea of how special and unique this place is. Ursula, her assistant Adelaide and the... More

We were just staying over on our way from the south of Spain, up through Portugal and on to the coast and the ferry at Santander. But what a beautiful place to stop over! We had never visited the Douro area before and wished that we had been able to explore it for a few days. We were made to... More

This "inn" is so good, we're not sure we want to share it or spoil it by making it too popular. Old-fashioned class and Hospitality with a capital H. A charming little boutique kind of place in a heavenly setting, Casa do Visconde is the kind of family-run place you hardly find anymore. Everything is so well though-out, beautiful and... More

Chanceleiros is a gorgeous small hotel with intimate personal service provided by Ursula and her very capable staff. The hotel itself is charming. Each of the rooms is unique. The gardens are lovely and the pool very inviting, especially on a hot day. Dinners provided are very good. I've stayed here 3 times and will keep coming back. More

For anyone reading this review I will repeat a common theme - this is a wonderful place to stay. True hospitality is shown form the minute you arrive and the warmth of that hospitality flows through all the staff. Nothing was ever a problem and the most minor of requests were cheerily met. The property is set in a delightful... More

We stayed for 4 nights late September and hugely enjoyed the experience. Ursula and her team are charming and helpful, the situation and views are spectacular and the pool is a great place to relax and be amused by the 2 resident dogs. Dinner at the Casa is very special. There is no choice but it is like going to... More

We did not have a reservation for the area, since it was a last minute decision. We called Chanceleiros and fortunately, they had a room available. Even though we arrived late, the owner kept the kitchen open for us, so we could have dinner. She was very nice and helpful. The food was just okay, but in all fairness, due... More
