Guest Reviews
- Ton (10/5): If you are looking for something extraordinary, go! - What a unique place to stay!! Wake up with the best view and 5 star service!
- Becky (10/5): The Douro was where we decided to spend a bit more. We were NOT disappointed. - The breakfast was lovely with excellent service. I would describe it as an expanded "Continental breakfast," but was more than sufficient. The location was amazing. I selected it because the BBC chose this location to film a documentary of the Douro wine region. The views were breathtaking. From the patio or the pool, you could sip a glass of wine and look out over the entire valley. Our host, Bernardo, was elegant and made us feel as though we were the only ones at the lodge; truly a five star experience. The entire staff was so delightful and always available when needed. I really cannot think of anything I did not like about this place.
- Suzanne (10/5): A very special place - Casa De Casal De Loivos is a very special place. Bernardo was the perfect host and beautifully explained the rich family history of the property. The views over the Douro Valley were stunning and we really enjoyed the delicious three course evening meal served in the lovely dining room with other guests. Nothing, it was the perfect stay in the Douro Valley.
- Katrin (10/5): Traumhaftes Anwesen mit grandioser Aussicht - Könnten wir mehr als 10 Punkte vergeben, wir würden es tun. Es handelt sich bei der Casa um ein kleines Anwesen, welches gepflegt bis in den letzten Winkel ist. Sehr geschmackvoll , Wohlfühlathmosphäre pur. Dazu tragen das Personal bzw. die Besitzer insbesondere bei. Sehr hilfsbereit und aufmerksam, herzliches Willkommen, bei Bedarf wird man mit guten Tipps versorgt und sogar die Reservierungen vorgenommen. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber es gibt ja noch ein großes gemütliches Wohnzimmer für alle. Das liebevolle Frühstück und auch das Abendessen werden gemeinsam an einem großen Tisch im Esszimmer eingenommen, so dass man mit anderen Gästen ins Gespräch kommen kann. Bei besserem Wetter hätten wir gern auch die tolle Terrasse, den Poolbereich und den kleinen Weinberg - alles mit grandioser Aussicht - für länger genossen. Bei der Weiterreise waren wir traurig, dass schöne Anwesen zu verlassen. Nichts

- Isabella (10/5): 10/10 everything was perfect! - Extraordinary! The Guest house itself is amazing, as well as the people who work there. You can feel their passion about being good hosts. The view itself is just unbelievable. We really enjoyed our stay! -
- Michael (10/5): Fabulous! - Very helpful and friendly staff. Wonderful position Lock on bedroom door very quirky
- Marion (10/5): An absolutely beautiful place to stay - A beautifully presented, boutique style hotel with the most stunning views. Our bedroom was large, modern, the bed so comfortable, filtered water in the room, a welcome drink on arrival and a very warm, friendly welcome from the owner. We stayed two nights b/b and chose to eat both evenings (at extra cost) at Casa De Casal De Loivos, a four course meal, served (silver service ) to the guests who all sit at a long table together - breakfast is a similar experience with guests arriving at breakfast served between 8.00 / 10.00 am.
There is a large terrace with tables, seats and sofas, also a lower terrace with a pool, sun loungers and umbrellas. We arrived by train from Porto, a very picturesque journey and had a taxi up to the Casa which was organised for us by the Casa.
This is a very memorable experience and one I would thoroughly recommend!
- Anke (10/5): Ein paradiesischer Ort für Menschen die etwas Ruhe suchen. - Einfach ein Traum.
- Charles (8/5): - Staff are super friendly and helpful. Daniel was amazing. The views are stunning. Room amenities a little below average. Getting to the property and parking is a bit challenging.
- John (10/5): - The staff and accommodations were excellent. The opportunities for guests to mingle were the highlight of the stay.
- frederic (10/5): - calme spectacle ambiance acceuil cafe "americain " du pdj !
- Patti (10/5): Authentic Portuguese stay in a beautiful restored family home - The photos of the property do not prepare you for the in person, breath taking views. But equally impressive is the hospitality and impeccable service provided by the owner, Bernardo and his staff. We felt like pampered guests in his family home. There is a lot of attention to detail as well as the finest in Portuguese hospitality. Nothing
- Saba (10/5): I am SO happy we stumbled upon this place. Highlight of our trip - Book it. Dont ask questions. Go to the family dinner. Have fun. This place is it Nothing.
- Yael (9/5): -
- Liam (10/5): Simply wonderful - Amazing views of the river and Pinhao. Comfortable rooms with great accessibility to the very quiet outdoor area over-looking the pool and river. The pastel de nata as part of the breakfast was great! Bernardo the owner was very welcoming, friendly and helpful as well as the staff, with a special shout-out to Daniel. Nothing

- Suzie (8/5): Agréable, sans plus - Quelle vue exceptionnelle!
Hôte dévoué Endroit guindé
Tarifs trop élevés pour ce qui y est offert
- james (10/5): -
- Hickinbotham (10/5): - Thank you Bernardo! Excellent host and staff made this a wonderful stay, we will be back!
- Hayley (9/5): - The view was awesome and excellent service provided by Paul and the team. I had not appreciated just how far by taxi the property was from the center of Pinhao. To walk from the train station or nearby was impractical unless you were used to hard walks of more than an hour.
- Edgardo (9/5): Amazing place - Spectacular views
Hosted people so good, serviceable and friendly Location is amazing but it’s small town so small roads and just few places to park
- Annette (10/5): Amazing! Wish we could have stayed longer. - An outstanding venue with amazing views. Staff and owner are exceptional!!! Maybe a better place to hang towels. Most hotels do not have sufficient places to hang towels etc.
- Maren (10/5): Zeitreise zum wohlfühlen in traumhafter Umgebung - Ein absolutes Schmuckstück. Kleines inhabergeführtes Hotel in den Weinbergen mit unfassbar nettem Personal.
- Géraldine (10/5): Juste magnifique - Toit. La beauté de la vue Rien
- Sanne (10/5): -
- Carol (10/5): - The staff were warm and welcoming and exceptionally helpful. The views were incredible. Fun dining experience with people from all over Europe an north America.
- Luca (10/5): Ultra coccolati in una antica dimora da sogno immersi nelle vigne - L’autenticità della dimora. Si respira un’aria storica con una grande attenzione all’accoglienza. La vista è spettacolare e gli spazi sono tutti molto ben studiati. È un vero padrone di casa Bernardo e invece Daniel è l’assoluto padrone della sala e della cantina. È impossibile trovare qualcosa nella perfezione totale
- thierry (10/5): - La situation géographique, le panorama étaient aussi incroyable que le personnel qui nous a accueilli, ne changez absolument rien tout etait parfait ...merci et à une prochaine fois je pense
- Johan (10/5): En unik vistelse i historisk byggnad med en oslagbar utsikt över Dourodalen - Mycket fint mottagande av värden när vi kom. Utsikten var mer än fantastisk och middagen på kvällen tillsammans med övriga gäster var mycket trevlig. En härlig blandning av nationaliteter från sju olika länder!
- Vinicius (10/5): Vista maravilhosa e atendimento impecável! - A vista da pousada é simplesmente sensacional. O atendimento do Proprietário Bernardo e de todo o Staff do hotel é impecável. Os quartos são confortáveis, mas fazem um pouco de barulho quandos os vizinhos caminham no quarto ou no corredor, por ser um prédio histórico. O jantar no hotel é uma experiência sensacional com ótima comida, vinhos e uma troca com pessoas de todo o mundo.
- Carol (10/5): -
- Szabó (9/5): Csodálatos kilátás, idill - Az elhelyezkedés, a Douro-völgyre való kilátás, csönd, a ház és a vacsora hangulata A reggeli választéka, mennyisége csalódás volt
- Simon (9/5): very good - I would love to return. - Beautiful view and gorgeous terrace with rooms opening onto the terrace. When we were there the owner was not there. Bernard appeared on the morning we were leaving. He was helpful as to what wineries we could visit at the last minute. I would have liked to have had access to more information at the hotel - such as a map of the area and walking trials. We went off by ourselves and managed to find a walking trial but it would have been good to have a file of good walking trials and more information for guests to look at - as to what the nice villages are to visit - museums etc and trials. There was no physical information at all at the hotel.
- Marc (8/5): -
- Osborn (10/5): Relaxing, stunning views and excellent and entertaining staff - It is an oasis in the Douro Valley. The staff were always aware of your needs. The dinner was excellent and allowed us to meet people from all over.
- Chien-Ya (8/5): - 河谷景色一覽無遺
員工熱情也會提供旅遊資訊,雖然房間需要走樓梯向下,但員工都會協助搬送,相當友善 早餐可以再豐盛些,冷食偏多
- Denman (9/5): -
- AnnONeamus (10/5): Splendid hospitality and fabulous view - Small family B&B with an amazing view, comfortable rooms, good food. Warm, welcoming and friendly hosts who worked very hard to make us feel at home. Delightful stay, highly recommended.
Parking is on a nearby public street up a steep hill and can be difficult as is the road to get there. But all was forgiven once we stepped inside the house.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Perfect view, very friendly - Very friendly owner Bernardo. The Pousada has the best view ever. Very clean and charmous. We will come back for sure! Muito obrigado!!! -
- NV (10/5): Feels like home in the Douro! - Casal De Lovois is a gem. This was our third time. The views over the Douro valley are stunning and the hospitality is truly exceptional. It feels like coming back to a place that welcomes you like family. Thank you Bernardo and staff! nothing
- Andrea (10/5): Perfect Host and Home - From greeting us on arrival to packing up our car to leave, Bernardo was the perfect, gracious host. I cannot recommend this property enough. Beautiful over 400 year old home, comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, a view of the Douro that we couldn’t take our eyes off of, and excellent levels of service with snacks and wine during the day and dinner served by Daniel in the evening. Bernardo advised us on two lovely hiking routes, which we enjoyed. We liked hearing about other guests’ travels over breakfast and dinner. Our room was separate from the house and was comfortable and cool with a great view across the patio. I would love to visit again! Nothing to dislike!
- Ulrich (10/5): Klasse - Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen
- Tiina (9/5): Täydellinen majapaikka josta on uskomattoman hienot näkymät Douro-joen laaksoon. - Pidimme sijainnista korkealla rinteellä viiniviljelmien yläpuolella ja uskomattoman hienosta näköalasta Douro-joelle. Historiaa huokuva majatalo on remointoitu pari vuotta sitten laadukkaasti ja tyylikkäästi pieniä yksityiskohtia myöten. Bernando ja Daniel ovat hurmaavia ja huomioivia isäntiä ja varmistivat vieraiden viihtyvyyden. Heti ovelta pääsi kävelyreiteille. Mukava yhteinen illallinen kruunasi upean päivän. Kaikki oli täydellistä.
- Kathryn (10/5): The BEST hosts. Felt like part of the family. It couldn't have been a better stay - Stunning location
- Karen (9/5): Absolutely amazing view of the Douro valley in a historic guest house! - Unbelievable view, truly breathtaking! Drinks on the terrace and walk through the vineyard…yes, please!!
Bernardo and his staff offer unparalleled hospitality, 5-star service and warmth. We did the family style meal with other guests one night ( fabulous), but chose to get our own tapas from town for dinner on the terrace the next night. The staff could not have been kinder, Daniel in particular, bringing us everything we needed for a lovely evening watching the sunset.
Ps - when we inquired, we learned the team shares gratuities. It’s not expected, but nice to know that they all get a piece of your gratitude. We traveled by car and navigating the narrow streets at top of the hill in the Douro Valley and finding the Casa initially was challenging. Worth it once you get there, but difficult nonetheless. Regardless, I’m so glad we did it.
- Reinhart (10/5): Termin für nächsten Jahr bereits vereinbart !! - Man kann es nur mit einem Wort beschreiben:
HERVORRAGEND !!!!! Service, Freundlichkeit, Einrichtung, Umgebung und das Essen waren außergewöhnlich.
- Maxime (10/5): - La vue
- Quelen (10/5): An unforgettable stay filled with warmth, care, and special touches that made our honeymoon truly memorable. - What a wonderful place! Beautiful location and truly amazing staff. Bernardo and Daniel made our honeymoon feel even more special. Bernardo truly goes above and beyond to attend to all our needs, and even planned an amazing surprise for us to celebrate our honeymoon.
A highlight was the communal dinner — it made us feel like we were visiting family. The food was fantastic as well. We stayed for two nights, but wished we had more time to stay longer! We loved every little thing!
- McNeill (10/5): Best place to stay in Portugal - The location was breathtaking. The service was impeccable. Bernardo and Daniel made sure we had everything we needed and made the stay incredible. The dinner and wine were the best in Portugal. Our entire party loved this stay. Thank you!
- Peter (10/5): We had a feeling it would be good but it was great - Bernardo and his team were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. A heated pool perhaps
- Maria (10/5): - Fantastiskt välkomnande! Vilken personal!
- Urs (10/5): Einzigartig, traumhaft - Die Lage, hoch über dem Tourotal, der Pool, die Aussicht…einfach alles stimmt, wüsste nicht was man noch besser machen kann
- ccristal (10/5): Don't miss this place if you're in the area! - It's impossible to overestimate how much we enjoyed staying at this property. We could talk about the impressive views from the terrace over a bend of the Douro river while sipping a glass of wine, or about how tasty the meals were, or about the spotlessness of our room, or about all the little details that make this a top-class accommodation... But the truth is that nothing beats the feeling of having a chat with the other guests around the big dinner table, or with Paolo, Daniel and Bernardo just after, in front of the fire, with a glass of Porto in your hand.
- Power (10/5): Casa De Casal De Loivos was an amazing authentic Portuguese experience. - Bernado was wonderful and the home was perfect. Nothing.
- Jacqueline (10/5): Fantastisch, sereen, heerlijke herinnering. - De accommodatie is echt super, mooie en schone kamer, adembenemend uitzicht, heerlijk en goed verzorgd eten, we hebben alle vier de avonden dat we er waren meegegeten aan de familietafel. Het is erg leuk om verschillende mensen te ontmoeten. De service is fantastisch, personeel doet er echt alles aan om het je naar je zin te maken. Voor Bernardo is niks teveel en Daniel zorgt, mede door zijn humor, voor onvergetelijke momenten. Kortom; we gaan vast nog eens terug! Niks!
- Joy (10/5): Idyllic escape - Delightful breakfast and dinner in an incredible setting. What a stunning view, so secluded
- Tina (10/5): Fabulous place very friendly and spectacular views. - We loved this hotel. Bernardo was a fabulous host. Everyone was great. The views were spectacular. We sat outside a lot and had wine and snacks. Bernado made wonderful recommendations and booked 8 of us a private wine cruise. He also booked is at a small boutique winery that was so good. Afain the young couple were such gracious hosts and there wines were so good. We all bought a lot. Highly recommend. Nothing
- Silvia (10/5): Lugar inesquecível e único - Tudo perfeito: lugar maravilhoso, impecável! É muito mais do que uma hospedagem, é uma experiência inesquecível. Os funcionários são extremamente atenciosos e gentis. Amamos tudo!

- 92philippam (10/5): A special place - This is a very special place. We were warmly welcomed by Bernardo, whose family have lived here for centuries. It is now a small country house hotel with immaculate rooms and spectacular views over the Douro valley. Breakfast and dinner were served around the dining table with the other guests. All the food was delicious and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
- Brian (9/5): Very Comfortable. - Very clean. Spectacular views of the Douro River. The staff and the owner, Bernardo, were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We participated in the family dinner, but were underwhelmed with the meal served. For the price we paid we expected much more.
- GJ (10/5): Onvergetelijk - Gastvrij en uitzicht 10+
- José Artur (8/5): -
- Niels (10/5): - Fantastisk beliggenhed. Spisning udendørs af middag kl. 19.30 i 18 grader celsius er ikke rart, når man er 78 år gammel.
- Chantal (10/5): Fantastique! Je vais le recommander c’est certain! - C’est un endroit de rêve!
Le petit déjeuner était très satisfaisant surtout les petites pâtisseries 😃 Rien
- Laura (10/5): -
- Bruno (10/5): Magnifique!!! - Paulo est juste parfait !!! Amicale, drôle accueillant il connaît l’histoire de son pays et l’histoire de cette magnifique résidence historique. La vue de la terrasse est simplement féerique!!! Le repas en extra était délicieux ainsi que le petit déjeuner. La route pour s’y rendre n222 est à coupé le souffle !! Soyez prudent !!!
- Megan (10/5): We had an amazing stay. It was a real treat. The service and attention we received was amazing and we will never forget - The service and attention we received was amazing.

Super Cosy and Relax
Great View
Great staff
Super Host
Highly Recommend Nothing
- Heide (10/5): Lovely and welcoming home atop a Douro Valley hillside with a stunning view. - The view from the Casa was breathtaking. The host was so kind and welcoming, the home just perfect. We especially loved the family style dinners in the evening so we didn't have to drive into town and back in the dark. We were there in November so couldn't use the pool - but it looked so inviting! Bernard arranged wine tastings for us which was helpful. He also arranged for taxis to take us to them.....very expensive because the taxi didn't just charge us for our travel - he charged us for his travel to get to us and also his travel after he left us and went back to town. Be wary of the taxi driver - confirm the price up front and INSIST on the meter being used. Highly recommmend this home for a stay in the Douro valley. The extremely narrow cobblestone roads are very challenging to drive on....especially in the dark. Make sure you READ all the notices from the Casa that tell you NOT to turn up one particular cobblestone road (we DID and nearly died). The Casa is at the top of a hillside - which provides wonderful views -- but a harrowing drive.

- Christa (10/5): Prachtig! - Vanaf ontvangst door gastheer genoten van ons verblijf. Ligging is magnifiek, al helpt het dat het schitterend weer was. Prachtig!
- Helene (10/5): Une super belle vue ! Relaxante ! - La vue spectaculaire/ la gentillesse des propriétaires/ l’accueil/ Parfait
- braz (10/5): The family style dinner was something that I had never experienced at a hotel or restaurant.it brought 12 strangers toge - Amazing views. Staff Nothing
- 824kananv (10/5): My favorite place in all of Portugal! - We stayed at this guesthouse as part of a hiking tour. This was the most amazing place to stay. Bernard, the owner met us at the front door (we surprised them and checked in early, and he didn’t seem to have a problem with that). He gave us an extensive history of the building which has been owned by the same family for hundreds of years. It had a very homey feel. There was a family room where we could order lunch. The hotel balcony sits above a mountain of grapevines. Dinner was served family style where we met other hikers from different parts of Europe. It was my favorite place to stay during our whole trip. The only thing that could have made it perfect would be coffee in the room or available earlier than breakfast.
- Sylvie (10/5): Tout à fait mémorable! - Nous avons eu un accueil chaleureux et exceptionnel de la part de l’hôte.
Plusieurs petites attentions à notre égard ont agrémenté notre séjour et que dire de la vue via la terrasse. De beaux paysages à couper le souffle! C’est un endroit où séjourner au moins une nuit lors d’un passage dans la vallée du Douro. Nous aimerions y revenir! Tout était parfait!
- Tom (10/5): -
- Inês (9/5): -
- Allan (9/5): - Beautiful property, excellent staff, nice amenities, great room, high quality towels and sheets, great breakfast and dinners.
- Hans Peter (9/5): -
- Mohamed (10/5): Amazing place, very clean, extremely helpful staff, we will try to come back again - The amazing view and the extremely helpful and welcoming staff The road to get to it is challenging especially at night. The breakfast is good but it can be more substantial.
- bruno (9/5): - La maison est très belle et située en haut d'une colline qui surplombe Pinhao. La vue de la terrasse est magnifique.
L'équipement des extérieurs est très bien, piscine, transats, fauteuils de jardin.
C'est un lieu calme et apaisant en dehors de l'agitation touristique.
La chambre est très propre et bien équipée.
A recommander sans hésitation !
- Andrey (9/5): -
- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Sal (8/5): It was OK apart from getting sick. - Location and staff We were in a small room away from the main building which we asked for originale.
- Lisa (10/5): Would stay here again in a heartbeat! - The location was just spectacular! Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful, and close enough to boat tours, hikes and Quinta visits. The attention to providing personal guest services and attention to the important details of a comfortable and enjoyable stay shows in all they do. They were very helpful in guiding us with everything from driving directions to restaurant suggestions, and an amazing private wine tour at an exceptional boutique winery. We had SO many questions about the all things D'Ouro valley and the staff (Bernardo, Daniel and Paulo) graciously answered them all and added a bit of fun to every encounter. Also, having dinner at the property is a must! When they tell you what road NOT to take by car up to the property, do as they say! It is a pretty easy drive except for one small stretch that can be avoided by flowing their instructions.
- Gillian (10/5): It was a little piece of heaven! - We loved everything about this property. The rooms, views, outdoor areas were way better than they appeared in the photos. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and their service was excellent. The homemade food was delicious as was their wine. Tea and Coffee making facilities would have been a nice touch in the room
- Fenella (10/5): A perfect place - visit here if you can 😊 - Absolutely perfect stay in an amazing location.
Bernardo and his staff could not be any more helpful or friendly. Superb views from a lovely patio and pool area. Everywhere is spotless.
You can just leave the car and Bernardo will organise a taxi if needed. If you don’t want a shared sociable supper there are restaurants nearby.
It feels like staying with family . The parking outside is a little tight but there is more just along the lane and Bernardo and team will help you on arrival, so easily sorted.
Tea making facilities in the room would be a bonus as I like a cuppa at all hours!
- Mara (10/5): -
- PennyJazzy (10/5): Walking holiday overnight stopover organized by InnTravel - Check in was very informal and pleasant. The guest house is a former mansion converted to a B&B hotel and we were treated a a friend rather than a guest. The room was functional and clean. We settled in quickly with a free drink offered and left to admire the fantastic elevated views across the Duoro River and Valley whilst the sun set.
The dinner was served outside. You sit at one table with all the other guests. It was a unique and pleasant experience. The 3 course meal was home cooked and excellent. All courses were accompanied with a choice of local wine and port which you have to pay for.
The buffet breakfast was equally informal again served around a large table in the large dining room. There was plenty of tea, coffee and fresh juice.
The guest house supplied a packed lunch for our daily walk to another hotel. These are paid for locally.
This guest house is amazing and we would definetely stay there again.
- M (10/5): - A view to die for
A building of substance
Wonderful staff Liked it all
