The property is a bit out of the touristic way, but the house is beautiful, very comfortable, Zulmira & Miguel are wonderful hosts that make you feel as part of the family as soon as you get there. The place is very well decorated, the food is delicious, can’t wait to go back there & stay for longer, eewere 2 families with 2 children each (ages 18, 12, 11 & 11), the kids loved it there. In summary, we strongly recommend this place.

Jose, United States of America

Kind and lovely host, very clean and stylish place

Ori, Israel

Owners, Zulmira and Michael (and gorgeous Labrador, Leica) are wonderful hosts with plenty of suggestions for touring the Duoro and advice on navigating the picturesque but narrow local roads! Go stay with them, let them cook you dinner and hear their insights into the region. We loved our stay.

Bronwyn, Australia

Breakfast is excellent. The family provide superb service and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Michael, Australia

The hosts cooked us a delicious meal the first night

Heather, United Kingdom

We booked on very short notice for our stay in the Douro-Valley and enjoyed a very warm welcome by our host-family: they even cooked a dinner for us which we enjoyed with the other guests in their spacious kitchen - and it was delicious! The room is in a historical family owned property, was spacious and had a small balcony where we could enjoy the morning sun. Breakfast was one of a kind, ranging from extremely delicious homemade marmalades, local cheese to fresh cake - so many things to try and love. The owners really create a home away from home and we can absolutely recommend staying here.

Judith, Germany

I arrived in the early evening and had not eaten yet but was offered to eat there (of course with some extra cost). The hosts prepared a three course meal with wine which was perfect. The room was great, clean and big. Of course you can not go without mentioning the nice an friendly dog.

Simon, Sweden

Excellent hospitality, delicioso (amazing) breakfast and dinner prepared by the local masterchef. :) Very polite and helpful staff and owners. Spacious rooms and nice smell in the entire house. Best stay during our roadtrip in Portugal. 3girls from Budapest

Eszter, Hungary

Very friendly owners hlped us to organize our visit to Duoto valley. Clean and spacious room, nice breakfast, fantastic dinner on request, easy parking. And the main attraction - lovely and friendly dog.

Vladimir, Russia

The hosts were very welcoming, gracious and helpful. They made us feel right at home. We learned a bit about how they had started their enterprising business. It was so nice to see how Portugal is working to develop tourism and create jobs for employees in small towns. We enjoyed the other guests we met at this property, too, over a lovely breakfast. The hosts created a very convivial atmosphere. We enjoyed having dinner at a cafe in town overlooking roses and a valley sparkling with lights.

When we arrived at the family Pintos accomodation we‘ve been welcomed more than friendly with a really nice and so delicious dinner. Mr and Mrs Pinto make every imaginable effort to comfort their guests (thats why the past reviews are more than justified!), including a very nice and lovingly prepared breakfast buffet. We loved to stay there with them and their very lovely dog Leika!

We always have some troubles with the beds in Southern Europe. Beds were a little bit hard. Furthermore it just would have been nice if you could make a cup of coffee or tea in your room or in the common room and if you could use a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold.
Hosts were really friendly, breakfast was good. Rooms were spacious.
