Family hotels and homes in Vilarinho da Castanheira

Benita Canada

Accommodations were ample, spotless and comfortable. Our host was generous with fresh fruits and nuts from the property and served us a delicious breakfast of home baked goods amongst other items. The property was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Our host and her family were warm and friendly, perfect hosts.

An absolutely unique and beautiful location in the middle of olive and orange groves! Secluded yet with all the comforts of home. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Local wine, olive oil and port await you from the families own estate. An abundant vegetable garden supplies you with the making of traditional Portuguese dinners in the spacious and well equipped kitchen. Breakfast is freshly made and brought to your door. And the views.... definitely something to write home about!

Very modern and nice facilities (villa, both external and internal swimming pool, common area), attention from the hotel staff, proximity to the Douro region

We arrived quite late after cycling in the rain all day and Sara was there to greet us and help us. She transformed the whole house into a beautiful place. Very well thought out. The room was spacious, the common areas were very nice, we definitely recommend. Thank you Sara.

The house is amazing! It has lots of space, both in and outside, it has an interesting architecture and it's location is great! There were books and games available and a parking lot nearby. D. Fátima was really nice and brought us freshly baked bread in the morning one day.

Location: Between the Sabor river and the Douro river, near IP2. When you cross the bridge on the Sabor go always up until you find the only yellow house – it’s the hotel. The location is quiet, with great views to the mountains and the Sabor river. The beach is close by. We recommend the Lamerinho restaurant (ca 800 m). The menu is very short: fried fish from the river served with chips and a salad. For the all-you-can-eat-and-drink (including wine and soft drinks) you will pay only 12,50 € pp (cash payment only). The place is a good base to explore south part of the Douro International Nature Park and the UNESCO site of the Coa Valley. Hotel: The building has three levels, each at the ground level (quite frequent in Portugal). The hosts live at the highest level, and the lowest level accommodate the hotel, 4 rooms, dining room and the terrace with great views. The hotel is separated and independent from the private area of the hosts. Room: small but functional, electric sockets available near the bed, lighting is OK Bed: large, for my wife it was very comfortable, for me little bit too hard, but I easily solved the problem with a duvet put on the mattress. Bathroom: large and comfortable, large shower cabin, good pressure of water. Breakfast: Excellent. If you prefer French style you can eat homemade jams, and homemade cake, fresh bread. In case you prefer German style you will find local meats, ham and cheese. We were also offered to make sandwiches to have a lunch during hiking we planned. WiFi: Good in the dining room and at the terrace, weak signal in the room. Parking: at the yard (rather tight). Alternatively there is also a parking space at the street – safe and more space. Staff: Excellent. Paula is very friendly and helpful. We could put our food into her refrigerator and were offered a boiling water to prepare our afternoon tea. If you stay more than one day ask Paula for a dinner. She loves to cook and prepares great food.
