We spent a week at Casa Relogio de Sol with absolutely no regrets. The room was comfortable and clean with very good AC (it was in the 40s outside at times!). The pool was just outside our room, along with shady or sunny places to sit out, depending on the time of day. There's plenty of choice for breakfast, with fresh fruit and juice every day, plus all the usual hot and cold choices - something for everyone. The host Clara, couldn't be any more welcoming and helpful: a truly kind person. We attended a wedding at the neighbouring Quinta da Pacheca winery, which is a few minutes' walk away. A car is useful, and it is a short drive across the River Douro to Pesa da Regua, where there are some good restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Restaurante O Maleiro - great Portuguese food at a reasonable price - very large helpings! If you get the chance, visit Lamego and Pinhau, and take a return trip on the Linha do Douro railway from Regua to Pocinho - fabulous scenery all the way, there and back.
