- Christine (10/5): - Beautiful suite on a beautiful property in a lovely setting. Exceptionally comfortable room with balcony overlooking grapevines. Attentive staff made the stay perfect. We enjoyed two dinners and two breakfasts, all made with care and featured local ingredients. The chef was a gem. We enjoyed the area hikes which we found well marked.

- Colin (10/5): A gem of a find - The service that we received was absolutely fantastic. Super friendly and comfortable. Views are simply stunning. The highlight of the place is the quality of the food. Chef Marianna cooks the most amazing food. It cost 25 Euros for a 4 course meal which was outstanding. She along with the other staff are also absolutely lovely. Cant recommend highly enough.

- Kirsty (10/5): Don't scroll passed, book this place! - Honestly this place is an utter haven! Don't hesitate and just book it! If I could give more than 5*s for service I would the team here are incredible, and go above and beyond to ensure you have a great break and assist with any query or issue you have. Breakfast was exceptional with everything handmade and fresh and so much of it grown on the farm itself. Evening meal was great too. And well that pool and that view.... Was the perfect place to relax and recharge after a busy and hectic city break! Thanks to all the team, we loved our stay, and can't recommend it enough
- isabelle (10/5): Exceptionnel - Séjour magnifique, reposant. Des hôtes tres accueillant, une propreté irréprochable. Nous recommandons vivement cet établissement aux personnes qui veulent se reposer et profiter, dans un cadre très nature.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - excellent peaceful place
- Silvano (10/5): Um paraíso! - Nossa hospedagem foi algo inesquecível em nossas vidas! Uma estrutura fantástica com pessoas agradabilíssimas, atenciosas, amáveis, encantadoras. Os funcionários fizeram nossas dias serem encantados. O restaurante é outro ponto inexplicável! Os sabores, as texturas, pratos delicadamente preparados com ingredientes frescos e produzidos no próprio hotel. Sucos fracos e feitos com frutas do pomar nos fizeram desejar voltar e ter mais dias hospedados. Quero agradecer com muito carinho a todos que fizeram nossa hospedagem incrível!
- Robin (10/5): Wonderful hidden gem - The place was fantastic and homely. We went a few friends druing the off-season which was probably the best time to visit
- LIONEL (8/5): - J ai apprécié le calme
- Setra (10/5): Fenumenal - Foi uma estadia 5 estrelas, desde o quarto até a comida. O jantar é um pouco caro mas vale a pena exprimentar,vão se deliciar com tudo que a cosinha de Valxisto pode preparar.
- Jen (10/5): Honeymoon ! Top place to stay in Douro area! - We loved our stay. The view is amazing! The rooms are clean and well equipped. The breakfast was also very good! We ate in the restaurant one evening too which was perfect. We loved everything about our stay and would not hesitate to go back.
- Anders (10/5): Great spot in a small village - A very nice family hotel with an outdoor patio and pool (for varm days). Indoor fireplace and lounge at reception. Situated at a farm with good parking and totally modern. The small town has an amazing winebar with great tapas style food and of course wine. 300m walking from the hotel. Breakfast - amazing.
- Miguel (10/5): A repetir - Funcionários super disponíveis, agradáveis e simpáticos desde o primeiro ao último instante.
- Leslie (10/5): Hidden Gem - It was a lovely place to stay and I can’t recommend it enough.
- Tommy (10/5): - Fantastikt hotell eller country house, liten pool utanför sovrummet, vackra omgivningar att promenera hunden med. Jättefin frukost. Byn har en vin och matbar som är helt fantastiskt med över 300 viner på listan, rekommenderas starkt
- Sarah (10/5): - We had an absolutely perfect vacation! We visited in October 2019. The property is so well cared for, with beautifully kept grounds and happy animals on the farm. The hotel strikes the perfect balance: you have the ability to have a private vacation, but Ana is available at all times to provide assistance when you need it. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and extremely hard working. She makes you feel at home the minute you arrive. We also want to note that the restaurant is top notch. The food at the hotel is superb. It is fresh, beautifully cooked, and absolutely delicious. We look forward to the next time we can visit. We recommend this hotel to everyone. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation in a beautiful location with exceptional service, this is where you want to stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My review is based on what my friends experienced. It was a gift. They enjoyed the whole experience of the village even though they faced torrential rain to get there. They were stuck under a flooded under pass of the train and almost gave up if it hadn't been for a passer by. I think next time the staff of the 'Casa' should try to solve this issue when contacted. They knew where they were stuck. My friends would've given up and that would 've been a shame because they loved their stay once they reached the property.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was hands down the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The pool was gorgeous, room was spectacular, the whole property was breathtaking with views of the whole country side and vineyard. If you have the chance to stay here, do not hesitate to go!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Kertakaikkiaan loistava paikka! Paikan ystävallistyys ja henkilökunta ovat erinomaiset.
- Astrid (10/5): - Mooie casa met wijngaard ligt met trein ca. half uurtje van Porto. Nette slaapkamer met prima bedden en goede airco. Lief en net personeel dat dagelijks, zonder opdringerig aanwezig te zijn, zorgt dat je van alle gemakken en informatie wordt voorzien voor een fijn verblijf. Goed ontbijtbuffet en als je wilt kun je s’ avonds genieten van een plaatselijk lekker diner ( ingrediënten uit eigen tuinen). Was er 6 nachten met oudere zoon. Hebben genoten van Porto, maar ook lekker relaxed in het zwembad met fantastisch uitzicht, wat gewandeld, gefietst (is met hoogteverschillen en zonder fietspaden niet ideaal) en pool gespeeld.
- Volker (10/5): Entspannung - Sehr schön gelegene Unterkunft. Kommt schnell und kostengünstig mit dem Zug nach Porto. Man kann im Countryhouse sehr gut essen. Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier richtig aufgehoben.
- Sean (10/5): - Beautiful Property about 20/25 minutes outside the City, Extremely friendly staff that make you feel very comfortable. Updated rooms and baths. Good food and wine.
- Hartmut (10/5): Alles perfekt! - Bestes Hotel, das wir bisher hatten. Super Service, tolle Umgebung und leckeres Essen!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Très bel établissement. Bien situé au calme â 30minutes de Porto. Dans la nature.tres calme.equipemet neufs et complets.et surtout excellent accueil des personnels.veritable maison d hôtes avec 7 chambres tres agréables,confortables et calmes avec des petits déjeuners complets et de qualité et des repas du soir extraordinaire... Bref à recommender sans réserves. Pour des tarifs raisonnables.
- MartaJae (10/5): - Beautiful landscape and views. Super nice staff. Delicious breakfast. Everything was perfect! Will be coming back for sure!

Comida deliciosa e muito conforto acima de tudo! Desde a recepção até à despedida que nos recebem como se fôssemos os melhores hóspedes do mundo!

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Underbart boende - kan rekommenderas både till par, vänner och familjer som reser. Inget att klaga på över huvud taget! Bra rum, fantastisk frukost och middag, ljuvlig pool - och underbart trevlig service. Vi vill tillbaka :)
- Beat (10/5): Mehr kann man nicht erwarten - Sehr herzliche Gastgeber, schöne und saubere Zimmer, ausgezeichnetes Frühstückbuffet, abwechslungsreiches aber zu üppiges Abendessen, grosse Weinkarte mit sehr moderaten Preisen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können das Guesthouse jederzeit empfehlen. Die aufgrund der ausgezeichneten Bewertungen bereits hohen Erwartungen wurden noch übertroffen.
- Ghita Raebild (10/5): - Fantastisk ophold - vi vender helt sikkert tilbage
- Jason (10/5): Charming and Relaxing - This place is a real jewel. Family owned and run. Amazing scenery and an excellent opportunity to dine one site while sitting next to the original stone wine vats used by the family to make wine for generations. I can't say enough about how charming this place is. It is a bit remote, but worth the drive.
- thierry (10/5): hotel dans un endroit rare - séjour plus que positif super endroit super accueil
- Joanne (10/5): Enchanting - Perfection. A beautifully renovated, charming and spotlessly clean place oozing with character, and hosted by a lovely couple that makes sure your travel needs are well taken care of. The breakfast was the best we had in our 10 day trip to Portugal - all homemade items that were delicious, local and carefully prepared in a ideal setting. You will love it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Tolles Hotel im Grünen, mit Herz Inhabergeführt. - Wir kommen wieder! Nach dem Trubel in Porto eine Oase. Schönes kleines Hotel mit tollem Pool, Ausblick ins Grüne, traumhafter Pool, persönlicher Service der Inhaber, sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible location and experience. We enjoyed it immensely.
- GEORGE (10/5): Unpretentious and delightful! - The hotel is a group of large, over a century old, granite farm buildings that have been beautifully re-purposed into a charming, modern, small hotel, with decor along the lines of a Portugese, Martha Stewart vibe. It is surrounded by vineyards, orange trees, an organic garden, and infinity pool. A short walk down the lane leads to a tiny farm village with beautiful, high stone walls and a wonderful wine bar. The hotel owner is the great grandson of the original farmer and he and his wife couldn't be more hospitable. Jams are homemade and superb, not to mention great rolls. We thoroughly enjoyed a Saturday night dinner prepared by the owner's mother and his wife - all homemade and delicious - in spite of returning later than anticipated. Although the weather was poor, every aspect of the hotel experience was a pleasure. The family is genuinely sincere in helping you enjoy every element of your stay. Be aware that the hotel can be challenging to find, as it's a tiny town and the address didn't come up on our GPS. The owner suggested Googling the hotel by name to get directions that way. However you get there, the area has lots to offer and is well worth the trip.
- András (10/5): Charming hotel, great breakfast! - Very welcoming and helpful owners. The house looks newly refurbished.
