We had a most wonderful stay at Casa de Canilhas in the Douro Valley. Our room overlooked the Douro, we had lovely sunny weather, and sitting on the balcony was so peaceful. We walked into town for dinner one evening and bought food at the grocery to eat on the balcony the second evening. Most highly recommend.

We absolutely loved Casa de Canilhas. I cant imagine a better place to stay in Douro. The breakfast was fantastic, made to order with many options. The view is unbeatable and the rooms are perfect. We felt like we were visiting family in Portugal.

Spectacular scenery. Our room with balcony was great. We sat there in the evenings with some wine and just enjoyed the landscape. Couple OK restaurants in walking distance and several wine yards close by to visit by car.

Absolutely stunning guesthouse in the Douro valley with well appointed rooms. Peaceful and pastoral with a more than accommodating and pleasant staff. The view of the Douro valley from our terrace was breathtaking. We stayed 4 nights, but were sad to leave.

Such a relaxing, elegant respite from an enchanting day in the Douro Valley...of course. With an salt water infinity pool and picnic breakfast delivered to the room, and a million dollar (Euro?) view of the Douro River, surrounded by vinyards; and friendly, responsive staff...it doesn't get better than this.

Our host was wonderful. A breakfast basket was delivered to our room daily - filled to the brim with our custom meal. Fresh squeezed Orange juice, fresh orange slices, eggs, coffee, etc. brilliant. The view was magical - the Douro vineyards and river unfolded before us. We loved our room, can’t wait to return.

Room on first floor built into cliff was moldy. Pool not heated. Breakfast uninspired.

Amazing in every way! Best view! Best helpful staff. We didn’t bring cash- forgot they don’t take cards Titianna was so helpful and patient. Best staff at any hotel I’ve been in- anywhere. PayPal did the trick. The breakfast was the best ever! View of the Douro from our table! Room was cozy. Great dining recommendation. We felt so taken care of there. It was by far, the best place we have stayed in Portugal! The home is beautiful as is everything. We didn’t want to leave.

The property is located in a prime location within the Douro valley and the view from our room was world class. It is a beautiful hotel and setting. Our only negative was the word at check in that they did not accept credit cards..... The local ATM only dispensed up to E200 every 24 hours..... Not acceptable in this day and age,

Hotel is very nice. It is family run. Loved the view overlooking the river. Really calm and tranquil. Very nice hosts. The main issue with this was with Expedia booking. They failed to tell us that this hotel does not accept credit cards— they only accept cash. We found out when we were already in Portugal. Hosts were apologetic and told us that Expedia has been told multiple times about the payment in cash only. Despite my e-mails to Expedia team, I never received any response. Very disappointed with Expedia.
