Guest Houses in Luzim

We had a exceptional experience. The place is beautiful, both the house and the view - we just felt like royalty. As for the staff - everyone were amazing. The host was so kind, we didnt want to leave! We had a baby with us and Ines went over the top to help us - we felt like family, really wish we could visit again.

Cool big place with old world look.

Casa Altamira was unlike any hotel we’ve stayed in—it felt more like visiting my rich relative’s countryside cottage than staying at a guesthouse. For the first time, I truly understood the meaning of “hospitality” in a foreign land. Nestled in nature by the Douro River, its setting was stunning and peaceful. My husband and I booked five nights with breakfast, hoping to balance the city life of Porto with a countryside retreat, not realizing what a treasure we had chosen. Our experience began the moment we arrived. Even though we were early, the manager, Mr. Tiago, welcomed us warmly and offered either rest or a guided tour. We chose the tour, which felt like walking through a living museum. The villa, dating back to the 1800s, showcased family photos, antiques, and stories of winemaking. The grounds were just as charming, with terraced gardens of grapes, kiwis, berries, and tomatoes, along with sheep, chickens, and three affectionate dogs—Magy, Cacau, and Fausto. Breakfast was a highlight. The dining room glowed with sunlight, our table beautifully set with our names, and every dietary request was remembered throughout our stay. It was personalized, thoughtful, and unlike any hotel breakfast we’ve had. Evenings brought their own magic—we spent nights on the terrace watching the stars and city lights. With Tiago’s recommendations, we explored hikes, river beaches, canoeing, boat trips, and excellent local restaurants, where he kindly made reservations for us. What truly made Casa Altamira unforgettable was the hospitality of Tiago and his wife, Alejandra. They cared deeply for their land and guests, blending professionalism with genuine warmth, generosity, and humility. We felt at home, cared for, and incredibly fortunate to have discovered this gem. Thank you, Casa Altamira, Tiago, and Alejandra—you gave us memories we’ll treasure forever.
