Joao was lovely and ever so helpful with ideas for our stay

The mattress was a little firm; no other dislikes.

Excellent, attentive service by Pawan and our hosts Joao and Ernestina took a lot of personal time to share their estate and history of their family. The wine tasting was intimate, in the wine cellar, conducted by Joao himself...excellent bkfst...the manor is like a museum...I felt like I was walking in a home preserved from the 17th century. Great visit and introduction for us to the Douro Valley.

Breakfast could have had a little more choice.

Nice 18th cent. manor house surrounded with big garden. We stayed in junior suite, which was furnished with antique furniture, our own living room was very spacious, also sleeping room was big enough. I would have liked to organize tea parties, everything was so authentic :) Very friendly owner, good and diligent staff. The owner of the manor, Mr.Azeredo provided us any information we needed, about local attractions, restaurants, wine cellars etc. He also made a nice tour of his own cellar with tasting. The house also offered dinner, which is a pleasant opportunity to enjoy local traditional food and the house's own wines.

Was quite hot even with fan. Bed a bit uncomfortable.

Beautiful setting. Very friendly people. Dining outdoors was lovely. 30 min walk to town. Good breakfast.

Being a historic home, there was no central air conditioning which could make things a bit stuffy. However, the rooms were equipped with air purifiers and with the windows open, it was quite nice and made sleeping comfortable.

Amazing 18th century historical property. The hosts and staff were gracious and very accommodating. We learned much about the history of the manor house and it’s family, the property and their estate wines. The grounds are beautiful with breakfasts in the lovely garden, walks through the vineyard and cocktails and port on the patio overlooking the Douro River and city of Regua.

Nothing

Our stay was incredible staying at this very old wine yard in the middle of the Douro Valley so authentic. This is not a hotel this is an old family house where you are invited and treated as you are a part of the family!

Stayed in August 2023

The bathroom was located up 6 steps above the room which made it a little challenging in the night.

We arranged to have the private meal on the day we arrived which was wonderful. We were served a 5 course meal on the terrace overlooking the Douro River and the town across the river. The host was very gracious and helpful.

There was no access to tea or coffee during the day, no facilities in the room. The tea at breakfast was undrinkable. Luckily we had our own T bags. The Bathroom in the room was OK but very small and not really of the standard I would expect for the price.

I liked walking through the grounds and gardens of the villa. The room was nice and cool. It was spacious. The breakfast was in a lovely dining room. The villa was a short walk to the restaurants of Ragua. We had a good view from the room but we paid for a river facing room, they may not all have good views.

It was a bit loud with road noises, which surprised us since it wasn't located in town. We had to keep the window open at night to stay cool, and that made it a bit loud. We did opt for dinner though pricey, described as a 4 course meal. While the quality of the meal was nice (very authentic and served in a very traditional style), it was over-priced.

The view from our room and from the common areas, overlooking the river and town are great! It is a very historical property and has many antiques. The wines made by the owner were excellent with dinner.

The location and property are fabulous if one looks for something special. This old mansion and vineyard has a very special atmosphere and together with the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff and owners we had a very enjoyable time there. The dinner which we had one evening on the terass was excellent, with many servings, superb service and extraordinary wines. The breakfast in the old dining room is a special treat, with home made bread, cakes, the best orange juice ever and good coffee. We especially appreciated that vegetables, fruits and berries provided at dinner and breakfast came from the mansion's garden, or from local producers. We came by train and with taxis lining up outside the station we reached the mansion by a 5 min taxi ride. We could easily reach other parts of Douro region by train, boat, taxi and also enjoyed walks in the property and longer walks to neighboring vineyards, several which have guided wine tours. The tips and help from the owners were invaluable in finding ways to get aorund without a car, and they also made an extra effort to find a solution when we wanted to stay en extra night.

Vineyards. Historical decor

Stayed in April 2023

Sheets did not fit the bed ie too small. The welcome wine pour was very small ie 2 sips.

Loved the oldness and how the house was furnished with style appropriate furniture and art. Breakfast was very good. The staff carried our luggage up and down the stairs. Bathroom is quite small.

Stayed in November 2022

Access to the main house requires a climb up a steep , long set of stairs. For those with disabilities and some elderly this may present a challange.

The staff, Anoo and Sapana, 2 Nepalese girls, were sweet and unfailingly helpful. The hotel and our room overlooked the Douro river. The grounds were extensive with many patios that viewed the river. This is a working winery.

There was nothing we didn't like

The property is owned by the sixth generation. The owner and his wife were very hospitable and welcomed us into their lovely old home. The property is situated on a vineyard and grows and bottles really great wine especially the rose'. The breakfast was in the garden and of excellent quality. The house overlooks the Douro river and an easy walk across the bridge to the town .A great place to take a drive up the douro river from. We would highly recommend this property

Quirky, very traditional Portuguese experience, real insight into history of the property and family

The coffee from the percolator was a bit weak and they need more staff. You should go stay there and give them money so they can hire more staff (they're doing too much right now with too few).

The staff was very accommodating, the wine was fantastic, the surrounding country is beautiful. They messaged us in advance about dietary requirements and dinning preferences. It was a lovely place to relax, do a little hiking, and enjoy some fantastic food.

Not sure if a negative but just part of the deal- it’s a old house and of course you can hear steps and talks, I didn’t mind but it’s the only thing that I can mention as “negative “

Amazing place with an attentive staff that makes you feel home. The house is beautiful with an amazing view of Douro. Breakfast was served in a sumptuous room with local products. Every thing was perfect!

Staff were a little short of local knowledge / restaurants / grape squashing etc but owner was charming host of a beautiful home

Pls world charm and character

more choices for dinner

right in front of the town of Peso da Regua, it is a charming manor, with the grapeyards in the back, very good if you want to taste the feeling of sleeping and dining in history. Very kind staff and owner.

Stayed in August 2021

the staff could use some upgrade as well as training - could be due to covid period that trained/experienced people are hard to find; I would do some refurbishing of the outside porch (change chairs and tables) and electricity cables in the room to improve safety. One cannot expect all the same conveniences as in modern hotels or apartments so longer-term stay would be a bit problematic (tiny bathroom, no TV, etc.)

nice and old house with a rustic feel, good view on Regua and Douro river, the owners are really helpful and welcoming and gave a lot of info;

We booked the extra dinner and the food was good.
