Spent two nights here on a walking tour through the upper Douro valley. Reviews are pretty accurate. The house itself is an antique, but well modernised, beautifully furnished by someone with taste and very comfortable. I presume someone with taste is Cristina, our hostess, who is quite charming and very attentive with perfect English. She has a natural mix of... More

My boyfriend and I sadly only spent one night in this beautiful house in the stunning Douro Valley. Our room was spacious, clean, and filled with charming details like stone walls along the windows and antique furniture. Breakfast was delicious - fresh breads, cheeses, granola, fruit, juices. While the beauty and peacefulness of the house itself are enough reasons to... More

Writing a review for this hotel is difficult. First of all: we stayed there for 4 days on our hiking trip to the Douro region. We booked a "hiking, wine & port" package and had some expectations. The house itself fulfilled our expectations totally - it's a really nice house/estate. It's nice to sit on the veranda or under one... More

We spent 4 nights here as part of a walking holiday and enjoyed the experience very much. The casa is beautifully furnished with antiques and the terrace and grounds are lovely for sitting in although it does seem to get rather windy in the late afternoon. A highlight for us at this time of year was the cherry tree or,... More

Christina was such a good host and all the staff so friendly. Rooms cleaned and beds turned down by magic, a cherry tree by the pool you could pick fruit from. Christina booked us into a tour at the Foz Coa archiological site about 90 minutes away by car ( only 6 people per visit at 10euros each), printed out... More

Casa de Vilarinho de Sao Romao came recommended by another property in the area, which could not accomodate us traveling with 3 couples on the requested dates. We are very happy we found this alternative! The house is very nicely decorated, the staff more than willing to facilitate any request we had and the surroundings are stunning. Lying at the... More

Beautiful views, wonderfully restored house and rooms. The staff specially Christina the owner are wonderful and the food very good. I just can't fault the place, well worth searching it out.

We stayed for 4 nights in August 2009, with friends in another room. Cristina was a gracious hostess, the setting wonderful, the rooms attractive, the pool welcoming (invigoratingly cool). We had a meal the first night of good local specialty (perhaps a tad expensive at $28 euros). Breakfast consistently good with different options. Pool sparkling clean with a view across... More
