Find the Cheap Gouvaes Do Douro Hotels

Beautiful place to stay! This Quinta is wonderfully located within walking distance of Pinhão. The grounds surrounding their facilities are immaculate. You feel like you’re in a painting and every photo you take is amazing. Great amenities; TWO great pools, loungers, shared common areas with TVs, books, games, coffee makers and water filters. Most Americans are disappointed by the availability of good clear water but this place has filtered and cooled water dispensers all over. The staff are very friendly. Most speak English very well. The two restaurants, one casual and the other fine dining, are amazing. I tried 3-4 entrees between my wife and I and was blown away by the quality and delicious combinations of flavors. They do not have 24/7 reception and an old fashioned check-in/out process so plan ahead. Some of the rooms are in a newer building that is a 4 min walk from the main area. It’s not that bad but i could see those with mobility issues having problems. The wine tour is amazing, informative, and delicious. Our tasting was in the cellar which I recommend as you will be in for a surprise. Rooms are ample sized, great shower/water pressure, and comfortable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located place to stay out this place at the top of your list.

#1 & only recommended stay in the Douro Valley (in my opinion)! Hopefully that got your attention because no further search on where to stay in the valley is needed. Mark my words, this will be one of the BEST and most memorable parts of your trip. Where do I even start? The casa itself is a MASTERPIECE, a true piece of art (the story of how it got built is also charming but you’ll have to book your stay to find out!). The rooms are all surrounded by ceiling high windows with the magnificent view of the valley. The staff is top notch and the most caring/welcoming we’ve ever encountered (and we have traveled a lot). The food is impeccable and simply the most delicious we had during our stay. An added bonus is that the owners of this casa also own a tour company called: The Douro Exclusive. This tour along with the casa is family owned/run which makes it that much more special. The family are natives to the surrounding areas of the valley and Portugal — the amount of history and knowledge they know about it all is extremely impressive. Even if you aren’t staying at the casa, book your tour with Douro Exclusive to have the most amazing, authentic and genuine day than any other tour could offer. Words and reviews are simply not enough for this stay and tour but we would like to end this note with gratitude and absolute love for our entire experience and stay. We truly felt so special and at home. This should 100% be considered a 5-star stay. If you are truly seeking that authentic and genuine experience — please do yourself a favor and pick CASA DO ARCO. You will not regret it!

Stopped here for lunch on a day trip from Porto. It was part of our itinerary for the day and after our boat trip our driver brought us here for lunch. We had the most fantastic 2 hours with beautiful views and amazing food. The staff were so friendly and at no stage did we feel rushed. It was so quiet and the views were amazing. A nice place to stop and chill for a few hours and I'm sure to stay would be fabulous. Maybe next time!
