Outros Tempos Turismo De Aldeia

Extremely nice place, very peaceful and relaxing, Wake up to the sounds of birds chirping and can see windmills twirling. Almost can hear the sound of silence. Place was built in the 1700 hundreds kinda stuck in time. But the rooms are really comfortable and renewed. The place doesn't look like a hotel but it is managed by the nicest people you will meet. additionally we met the Luisas cousin Carla she made us feel at home beautiful smile fills the room. for sure worth the trip and the value. Loved it.

This is a small family run hotel. We stayed in the main house which is about 300 years old with loads of character. The rooms are clean and well resourced. Breakfasts are fantastic with lots of home cooking. The hotel offers dinner which again features traditional Portuguese home cooking in substantial quantities, the food at Outros Tempos was the highlight of our three week trip to Portugal. The hotel is near all the main sites of the Douro Valley and the owners have helpful printed trip sheets for the surrounding area.

Wonderful hosts and fantastic breakfast and (optional) dinner. No services in town, so unless you rent one of their 3 houses/cottage, their dinner is your best option.. but delicious! 7-8 appetizers, large platter of meat plus veggies and salad... 7-8 desserts! Plus aperitif, wine, port and brandy!! Whew!! Our room was small with only a double bed but had a little balcony and resident kitty. The cottage for 2-3 people would be a nice choice as you could have a dinner on your own if you were staying several nights! It is a short ways from the main house and breakfast, but has a patio and nice view. The swimming pool in the picture is not in the main house... it is one of their 2-3 bedroom homes to rent. The property is about 30 minutes down a steep, windy road to the river and the wine-tasting quintas. Very welcoming hosts!

We had booked a room with a balcony which we were pleased we had done so. Wi-fi was not good at first but the owners rectified it by calling an engineer who eventually fixed it. When we arrived it was a Saturday and very full, especially the pool area by Portugese families, but after the weekend it was very quiet. Food and quality of service were very good even when very full. There is not much to see in the village but nearby village of Armamar is very nice with good restaurants and views of hills and vineyards. Overall very good stay and recommend it for 2 or 3 days.

wonderful dinners with other guests and the owners

We booked this spot at the last minute because we could not get any of the accommodation we wanted in the Duro Valley. It was a unique spot. Fine for 2 people. Our third person slept on a pull out couch that creaked all night and kept us all awake. We stayed in a small stone cottage ( basic) away from the main house. Our main disappointment was not having any place to eat nearby. We had to get back in the car after a 4 hour drive and find food in the nearby town. We are used to walking once we arrive at a destination. Breakfast was okay.. nothing special for Portugal. The lady that took care of us was lovely.

Beautiful old country house built in 1750 and modernized respecting the houses origins. Very comfortable. Owners are very accomadating giving help with the visit. Breakfast is one of the best we have had. Recommend very highly. As it is in a small village it is not easy to find. However the extra effort is very worthwhile

A true melting pot of cultures. Hosts perfectly accommodating, generous with food wine port and hospitality. English a bit scarce in Douro. Dinners at outros tempos were huge delicious, drunk, and so much fun! Each night added another guest from a different country as the turnover was constant. So interesting, everyone curious and friendly to meet each other. Like a big dinner party with interesting fun loving guests, eating drinking laughing! Driving is very difficult in Douro. This was stressful!

We had an excellent time in the heart of the Douro valley: fresh fruit from the surrounding gardens, relaxing time at the pool, great breakfast. Thank you!

Lovely old buildings rennovated to a modern standard inside. Terrific breakfast. Great staff. Very welcoming!
