We had a private room off to the side of the main house next to the pool. It was quaint and just perfect! The view was priceless. We were able to choose the breakfast brought to our private patio each morning and everything was delicious down to the fresh squeezed orange juice. We highly recommend this iconic villa in beautiful Duro Valley. Found a lovely quinta for wine tasting at St. Teresa winery just a short drive away.

If you want to get away from it all for one or a few nights the Casa is a great location. Nestled in a small village (narrow roads!!!!!!), it overlooks the Douro valley. The host is a wonderful lady and we highly suggest you join the community dinner. Had some lovely home-cooked meal with a couple from Quebec. The staff are awesome, especially if you speak a bit of German. The grounds are ample with lots of plants.

It was very quiet and relaxing with beautiful views of the Duoro Valley.
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.
Quinto do Bosque is exceptional! The facilities are amazing, the location is stunning, the food was top-notch, but the best part was the exceptional service by the staff. When we mentioned we follow a gluten-free diet, they bent over backwards to meet (and exceed) our needs, serving us warm gluten-free bread and even making us a gluten-free Pastel de Nata and a gluten-free croissant! The bed was very comfortable, the room was beautifully decorated and even had fresh flowers. I can't say enough positive comments about this hotel. Fabulous.
It was a wonderful place to stay. Absolutely spectacular views from the property....in the bedrooms and by the pool. It has a lovely atmosphere, as if you are staying in someone's house rather than a hotel. The bedroom and bathroom were both large and spacious. Joana, the lady who greeted us, was lovely and welcoming and a lady called Claudile ( I think) really looked after us with food. With prior arrangement the property will cook an evening meal which was delicious, including wine and port from the region.
This hotel was a top highlight of our trip to Portugal. The pictures don't do this view justice; it is fantastic. Our host was amazing and treated us like family. The room had an exceptional view, and the hot tub, pool, and lounge area were amazing. I was so sad to leave!
Also, originally, I thought that this was not in as central of a location in the Douro Valley. After having visited, I think that the location is one of the best in the valley and possibly the best view in the Douro Valley.
Nestled in the vineyards and olive trees with views over the valley. Spacious rooms, meticulously and tastefully decorated with attention to the small things down to fresh oranges, yummy cookies and port in the room. Super comfy beds. Very welcoming and cozy. Dinner was superb and presented beautifully. Thanks to Cristiano who was always available to ensure our stay was perfect which truly was the highlight of a three week vacation in Portugal.
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!
The vineyard was located high on the hill near the village of Mesão Frio, with an open vista of the Douro Valley. The environment is tranquil and natural, surrounded by plantations and with a swimming pool to take dips in the hot summer weather. The owners/staff were fantastic, especially Senhor Carlos who was friendly, humble, and happy to help with anything.
We had an amazing stay. The room was large, with all facilities. The room, common areas and the whole property were spotless clean. Several outdoor spaces to rest and enjoy a glass of wine. Within a 10-15 minutes walk you are in the village of Mesao Frio with services and restaurants. The location is great to explore the Alto Douro Vinhateiro region
The breakfast was great and prepared to order. The table setting and china etc were beautiful. This place is all about the view. It was absolutely stunning and our favorite of our two weeks in Portugal. The staff was very attentive and helpful. We would definitely go back and stay longer.
Everything was lovely in this absolutely quite and confortable hotel located in a beautiful setting over the Douro river. Tastly decorated in a rural style, it offers what is needed for a few relaxing days. The small town of Mesao Frio at 1km offers restaurants and services.
this a beautiful hotel with spectacular views of the Douro valley and terraced vineyards😉the staff were very kind and the breakfast baskets were extremely generous with lots of options. a big plus was the pool that was great during the hot weather.
Absolutely the highlight of our trip - the food and wine were exceptional, the service was impeccable, the property, pool, and amenities were amazing, and every moment there was a true reflection of how amazing Portugal is.
Beautiful views overlooking the Douro, modern style rooms and great facilities such as pool, Turkish steam room, sauna and hot tube. Loved the atmosphere and style of the hotel as well as the connection with the winery.
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.
