uper spacious rooms with private bathrooms, spacious living room open to the kitchen, perfect for family activities - especially considering the view of the pool and valley and river. The host was extremely helpful. Attentive and caring, and they have a wide range of amenities available, such as meals, wine and food available upon request. We will be back again

It's a fantastic House for your Douro holidays. The house is beautiful, modern, efficient, clean, welcoming and large enough to accommodate 6 couples in privacy. From the wines available for purchase and private meals to the location and incredible views, it can't get any better. Our family loved Casa and Pinhão. We are a family that likes five-star hotels, but we are so in love with this Casa.
