We stayed 3 nights in the end of Oct. 2011. First impressions of warmth faded quickly when the owner ushered us aside to wait as she sold the hotel to others as a wedding venue. We had not eaten lunch and were offered a snack which turned out to be a 24Euro white bread grilled cheese sandwich. Rooms are large... More

Wonderful old-style hotel. Very big rooms. Pool. Wonderful, benevolent stuff and hostess. The best hotel we stayed in Portugal.

This place was simply fantastic! Everything was best of the best - both the service and food, not speeking about rooms. We felt like living 2 centuries back in a real mansion. My dotter still dreams about a swim in the pool in moonlight. This was the absolutely highlight of our trip and something we never forget. We wish good... More

We found the signpost to this hotel while touring around the Douro Valley. Having travelled down a long driveway through vineyards, the sight of Casa Viscondes took my breath away! Shortly after parking the car, Maria came out and showed us around this magical and charming hotel, full of sumptuous fabrics and furnishings. Needless to say we booked in and... More

When you enter through the cottage gates, you will find a beautiful vineyard miles long with a spectacular view over the surrouding hills. The main building is a large vintage well kept house owned by the same family since the 16 century. In... More

Thanks to Maria and her staff for an unforgettable stay at this unique hotel. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful and made us feel at home immediately. . The mansion is beautifully renovated and furnished with style and elegancy, although a bit overloaded with things you may buy. There are several beautiful living rooms, all open for the guests....

What a fantastic place! My husband and I walked around with our mouths open as we were checking in. The house is like a manor/mansion packed full of antiques and gorgeous pieces all for sale. Each of the rooms as stunning as the next. Maria and her lovely family live there also, so rather than having an empty hotel feel... More

If you are in the area then you must stay at least one night and experience the warmth and character this hotel has to offer. Do not expect plasma TV and state of the art air con but tou will get a real taste of Portugal and if you stay for dinner an amazing 4/5 course meal you won't forget... More

We had a two night stay in this wonderful place. The hotel is unique and feels like staying in a stately home rather than hotel - it is very charming and you feel like royalty. The rooms are fabulous and like no other hotel. The staff are very helpful and friendly - they make you feel at home. Dinner was... More
