The setting is totally spectacular! The view over the Douro River and hillsides is beautiful. The swimming pool was delightful on such a hot day.
The location in Duro is breathtaking. Casa de Calinhas is perfect for staying one night. They recommend restaurants and wineries to visit. Idillic day. Village is very small and up windy roads in the mountain, but restaurant have delicious homemade cuisine.

The village of Mesao Frio was a long steep walk from our accommodation Imaginario d'El-Rei but was well worth it. We ate in the local family restaurant Atasca Do Zequinha which was run by a brother and sister. It was right at the top the hill and was almost like going into their own home. The food was excellent along with the local wines and you were made to feel part of the family. We enjoyed it so much that we returned again for our second night.

Mesao Frio is a small, quaint town in the Douro hills at the western end of Portuguese wine country. A small number of charming restaurants, nice people and vineyards abound. Great base for exploring the Upper Douro and Portugal's fantastic wine country.

Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number.
Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number. When I entered, I thought I was going into someone's living room. Didn't look like an inn/B&B. The owner was smoking and the entire place smelled awful. His daughter was ironing. Very odd. Had to walk up flight of stairs with luggage. Breakfast was minimal, we had to wait for bread delivery. Bathroom was tiny and shower was too.
We stayed in 10 different places this trip and this was the most expensive and the worst of all of them. Very disappointed.
We spent over 2 hours trying to find this place. A elderly woman selling cherries by the roadside was finally able to get us there. It was Sunday and by the time we found place, no place was open for dinner. Grade of F.
We loved it here at Casa De Canilhas! Our room had a stunning view of the Duoro River, overlooking vineyards. Room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, the breakfast (delivered to our room) was very plentiful and delicious. This was one of our most favorite places in our 5 week road trip around Portugal!!
Simply lovely and perfect in every way!!! If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Portugal, I would absolutely stay here again!!!
Mr. Baradas, the host, is exceptionally kind. He helped us with our luggage, he gave us some valuable information from the Douro region and its Quintas. And he even gave us the option to choose between different rooms. The hotel is very well clean. It has a beautiful view, free/easy parking, and comfortable beds. We had an excellent stay there and a very good night of sleep. Thanks a lot for everything!
Every room has a fantastic view of the Douro River! The casa was a great base for us to explore the Douro region from. It is also a short walk from Mesão Frio, which has good options for cafes and dinner. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable, including having his English-speaking son on hand to make check-in easy. The daily breakfast was delicious!
Everything is excellent at this hotel/restaurant/winery. Stunning location with a panoramic view of the Douro, super friendly staff, great food and a really good (mainly local) wine selection.
Dinner menu changed every night giving us the opportunity to taste a variety of beautifully cooked dishes.
And the wine tasting tour with Pedro was fun and educational.
We had an enjoyable stay in lovely location. The hotel is charming and swimming pool is really nice. The breakfast and dinner (It is very reasonable for 3 course meal with coffee, a glass of port wine and a bottle of wine for us!) were so tasty. Dinner at the hotel is highly recommended!
Beautiful location with clean comfortable rooms and excellent staff. Our stay here was our favorite part of our trip to Portugal. Able to easily get to by car or train (REDE station close by) and town within 5 minute walking distance for essentials. Wonderful place!
Everything, the location was magical, the facility was beautiful, the rooms were very lux with big balconies.
The staff were very polite and friendly.
Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot and cannot wait to come stay again at our next visit to portugal.
The staff are amazing and the property is like a 5 star hotel. From the moment you arrive, you instantly relax and you feel like it's a home away from home. Amazing views and as per previous comments, the dinner is exceptional. Highly recommend.
Everything about our stay at Quinta Do Bosque was a dream! Would highly recommend to anyone. We loved the boutique hotel feel to the Quinta. The views were unbeatable, the food was fantastic, and the staff (including the dog!) was amazing.
Perfect hotel in the nice location close to the town. We had a great time there. Hotel is new with the nice, big and very comfortable rooms. The view from the pool is AMAZING. Hotel owner was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was included.
We stayed there for the second time and really enjoyed it. The apartment was very clean and beautiful, had delicious brekfast and loved the outdoor area.
Mesão Frio is a good place to start discovering the Douro Valley.
We absolutely LOVED everything about our stay. This hotel was such a welcoming and relaxing place to stay i. the Duoro Valley. The interior was impeccably designed, the views were stunning, and the food was delicious.
Douro Scala is a great hotel to escape for a couple's weekend! Quiet location, great views, lovely pool area and the food was amazing! Highly recommend to recharge and enjoy a few days as a couple!
The food and coziness. The bedroom was so comfortable and the hotel was very calming and relaxing. The views were spectacular and the staff were so amazing!
