Casa de Sao Miguel Douro

Quinta Casa de São Miguel is a historic manor house situated in the middle of a huge property with vineyards, olive trees, and fruit trees. The house is located off the main road in a small hamlet with only a few houses. Most of the houses look abandoned and uninhabited. It's important to know, when booking Quinta Casa de São Miguel, that there is nothing nearby. There is no café, no grocery store, and no restaurant in the village. The nearest restaurant is about 1 km away on the main road, and other restaurants are about 2.5 km away in Armamar. There is also a small grocery store in Armamar. The old manor house is very beautiful, covered in wild vines, and looks romantic. The property has trees and a small romantic pond with benches and a fantastic swimming pool with a great view over the vineyards towards the Douro River. The rooms are not particularly large, but adequate, and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is adequately equipped with a shower, toilet, and sink and has a skylight. A negative aspect is the lighting in the rooms. The Quinta is oriented so that the rooms face north and only have very small windows, making the rooms very dark. The rooms do not have balconies, so you can't spend time in them during the day. There is a communal loggia, but this also faces north and offers no privacy, which is a real shame. Breakfast is served as a buffet on the ground floor and is very plentiful, and Emilia, the good spirit of the house, really makes an effort to fulfill every additional food request. For excursions into the Douro Valley, you always have to factor in very long, extremely winding drives. We visited Peso da Régua, Armamar, Pinhão, and Lamego, and each time we were glad to have safely navigated the winding roads. Conclusion: If you like staying in historic buildings, if you don't mind small, dark rooms without a balcony, and if you appreciate peace and solitude, then Quinta Casa de São Miguel is definitely the right place for you.

The property was beautiful and so peaceful. My family loved walking around the vineyards and sitting on the large patio area in the mornings with coffee. My two year old loved exploring and had so much fun. It was a quick scenic 20 min drive to Peso da Regua and 35 min to Pinhao. The staff was very helpful, friendly when we arrived and accommodating when our arrival time changed.

The kitchen was missing a few basics, a spatula and a filter coffee maker, though it did have a Krups pod coffee maker, we just didn’t bring any. We had different alternatives so it didn’t effect us much. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Nous sommes complètement tombés sous le charme de cette casa dans la Vallée du Douro! Les vues sont magnifiques et on s'y est senti comme à la maison dès les premières minutes. Définitivement un grand coup de cœur. L'hôte nous a accueilli avec le sourire et bien qu'elle ne parlait ni français, ni anglais, elle a su nous expliquer comment fonctionnait le logement. Je recommande à 100%

Ein eigentlich sehr schönes Haus mit viel Potential

Völlig unpersönlich. Eigentümerin interessiert sich nicht für ihre Gäste. Die Angestellte spricht nur portugiesisch. Frühstück sehr lieblos und billig. Bilder bei Buchung sehen besser aus, als es ist.

Café da manhã excelente, atendimento muito bom e quarto muito confortável e limpo!

Da simpatia das funcionárias, da paisagem envolvente, conforto da cama e pequeno almoço.

A janela do quarto estava empenada e o polliban é pequeno.
