The views were beautiful and we loved walking through a vineyard. The food was delicious. It was relaxing.

We loved everything about the property.
From the moment we stepped away from the car and seeing Filip walking out of the house welcoming us to his home with a warm smile.
First time this happened to us in our 4 months of travelling through Europe and Morocco using hotels and Airbnbs.
Such a nice feeling of true hospitality compare to the
many un personal “lock box” properties we encountered in our travels.
To have this kind of hotel hospitality is something Airbnb will never achieve.
Filip helped us with our bags and invited us to his lobby where we were treated to a glass of smooth port produced by his neighbour.
The high mountain side location of the property is fantastic. It offers a 180 degrees view down on the Douro Valley with superb sunrises and sunsets.
We could see the river cruises flowing down the river.
The rooms were sparkling clean and the breakfast offered was mostly from the local food producers.
On top of all this Filip succeeded in getting us a restaurent reservation despite our late arrival.
Boasting an outdoor swimming pool, a shared lounge, and a garden, Casa Vale do Douro provides accommodations in Mesão Frio with free WiFi and Douro river views.

Very clean and good value. We loved the fresh fruit, flowers and bread. The restaurant you recommended in town was very good and we could walk there (Tasso do Zequinha). While we were there we did a nice cruise to Pinhao from Regusa and took the train back. We also drove to Arouca 516 and did the suspension bridge. Amazing!
The location in Duro is breathtaking. Casa de Calinhas is perfect for staying one night. They recommend restaurants and wineries to visit. Idillic day. Village is very small and up windy roads in the mountain, but restaurant have delicious homemade cuisine.

The village of Mesao Frio was a long steep walk from our accommodation Imaginario d'El-Rei but was well worth it. We ate in the local family restaurant Atasca Do Zequinha which was run by a brother and sister. It was right at the top the hill and was almost like going into their own home. The food was excellent along with the local wines and you were made to feel part of the family. We enjoyed it so much that we returned again for our second night.

Mesao Frio is a small, quaint town in the Douro hills at the western end of Portuguese wine country. A small number of charming restaurants, nice people and vineyards abound. Great base for exploring the Upper Douro and Portugal's fantastic wine country.

Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number.
Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number. When I entered, I thought I was going into someone's living room. Didn't look like an inn/B&B. The owner was smoking and the entire place smelled awful. His daughter was ironing. Very odd. Had to walk up flight of stairs with luggage. Breakfast was minimal, we had to wait for bread delivery. Bathroom was tiny and shower was too.
We stayed in 10 different places this trip and this was the most expensive and the worst of all of them. Very disappointed.
We spent over 2 hours trying to find this place. A elderly woman selling cherries by the roadside was finally able to get us there. It was Sunday and by the time we found place, no place was open for dinner. Grade of F.
It was a wonderful place to stay. Absolutely spectacular views from the property....in the bedrooms and by the pool. It has a lovely atmosphere, as if you are staying in someone's house rather than a hotel. The bedroom and bathroom were both large and spacious. Joana, the lady who greeted us, was lovely and welcoming and a lady called Claudile ( I think) really looked after us with food. With prior arrangement the property will cook an evening meal which was delicious, including wine and port from the region.
We loved it here at Casa De Canilhas! Our room had a stunning view of the Duoro River, overlooking vineyards. Room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, the breakfast (delivered to our room) was very plentiful and delicious. This was one of our most favorite places in our 5 week road trip around Portugal!!
Simply lovely and perfect in every way!!! If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Portugal, I would absolutely stay here again!!!
The hotel is in a very nice location, though further away from the main "towns" of the region. All the common areas are excellent, the heated pool a real treat, AMAZING breakfast and something worth mentioning, they offer many indoor activities like board games and a pool table (important when the weather is not the best like in our case). Everyone is extremely polite and helpful! We loved our stay there!
Every room has a fantastic view of the Douro River! The casa was a great base for us to explore the Douro region from. It is also a short walk from Mesão Frio, which has good options for cafes and dinner. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable, including having his English-speaking son on hand to make check-in easy. The daily breakfast was delicious!
This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Everyone working there is so friendly and the service is excellent. Breakfast a la carte, super affordable dinner options and the premises are an absolute dream. We had a birthday celebration and they were full of unexpected details and little extra tokens.
Plus: Becas, the house dog, is our new favorite dog!
The hotel is AMAZING. It is on the hill overlooking the whole wine region and river. It is super nice decorated. The garden and swimming pool are taken care of. The breakfast is delicious and you overlook the whole wine region. The personal is super friendly and welcoming.
The hotel is very well located and has an amazing view! The hosts are very friendly and also the breakfast was very delicious. We could use the pool and we enjoyed to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine with this incredible view. We can highly recommend this place!
Beautiful location with clean comfortable rooms and excellent staff. Our stay here was our favorite part of our trip to Portugal. Able to easily get to by car or train (REDE station close by) and town within 5 minute walking distance for essentials. Wonderful place!
Wonderful stay. This was our favourite place to stay during our three week trip in Portugal. We wish we were able to stay longer. Peaceful and stunning views. Kind staff and comfortable rooms. Great food and wine. Lovely.
We stayed there for the second time and really enjoyed it. The apartment was very clean and beautiful, had delicious brekfast and loved the outdoor area.
Mesão Frio is a good place to start discovering the Douro Valley.
Great location with a 360 view over Douro Valley (near Peso da Régua). Both Peso da Régua and Mesão Frio are 15 min away by car.
The rooms have a nice view and comfortable.
The breakfast is good and has good variety.
In over 45 years of International travel, this is the best hotel that we have ever stayed in!
Everything was exceptional and we will be back.
It is worth making a special trip from the UK just to stay there
We stayed one night at Imagernario del Rey. The hotel is located on a hill and each room has an impressive view of the Douro River. The breakfast buffet had a lot of things to offer.
Quinta da Veiga was the hotel we stayed at not the above mentioned. The accommodations, meals, view and staff were spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
