If you want to get away from it all for one or a few nights the Casa is a great location. Nestled in a small village (narrow roads!!!!!!), it overlooks the Douro valley. The host is a wonderful lady and we highly suggest you join the community dinner. Had some lovely home-cooked meal with a couple from Quebec. The staff are awesome, especially if you speak a bit of German. The grounds are ample with lots of plants.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The building has great character and is very very clean. Breakfast was great, and the staff were kind and helpful.
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.
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!
Our room (like most) had chairs and a table outside our door which overlooks the Douro Valley. Breakfast is brought to your room every morning and it is very peaceful to eat, relax and enjoy the view. For us, this was the reason we stayed here. The easy mornings were a highlight of the trip. The hotel is also located near many vineyards just a short drive away. The owners and staff are very nice.
Everything is excellent at this hotel/restaurant/winery. Stunning location with a panoramic view of the Douro, super friendly staff, great food and a really good (mainly local) wine selection.
Dinner menu changed every night giving us the opportunity to taste a variety of beautifully cooked dishes.
And the wine tasting tour with Pedro was fun and educational.
The vineyard was located high on the hill near the village of Mesão Frio, with an open vista of the Douro Valley. The environment is tranquil and natural, surrounded by plantations and with a swimming pool to take dips in the hot summer weather. The owners/staff were fantastic, especially Senhor Carlos who was friendly, humble, and happy to help with anything.
We had an amazing stay. The room was large, with all facilities. The room, common areas and the whole property were spotless clean. Several outdoor spaces to rest and enjoy a glass of wine. Within a 10-15 minutes walk you are in the village of Mesao Frio with services and restaurants. The location is great to explore the Alto Douro Vinhateiro region
This boutique hotel is a gem! Cristian, the Maria’s and the rest of the team exceeded our needs. Our 4 night stay one of the best we have ever had! The view is breathtaking. So much choice for breakfast and the presentation was impeccable. When visiting the Douro Valley this is a must stay.
Amazing place with a wonderful view. Located among spectacular hills and vineyards. Beautiful, well-kept hotel area. Great accommodation, airy, good equipped, stylish and cozy. The staff was very kind and hospitable. Delicious breakfast with fresh homemade pastry. Highly recommend.
Everything was lovely in this absolutely quite and confortable hotel located in a beautiful setting over the Douro river. Tastly decorated in a rural style, it offers what is needed for a few relaxing days. The small town of Mesao Frio at 1km offers restaurants and services.
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!
This property is absolutely stunning!!! The service is incredible, the food amazing and the hotel was lovely and homely. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend this property to anyone heading to the area. The three course dinner is a must!
The hotel is located in a picturesque location. The building is filled with family history, which creates a unique flavor. The view from the window is very picturesque. We also really enjoyed breakfast; it took place in a wonderful dining room.
Everything. This was the most incredible place we stayed in all of Portugal. Cristiano is an exceptional host, Maria is a world-class chef, and the property is absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to go back, and will be sending all our friends.
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.
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.
Gorgeous location and lovely balcony with a view along the Douro. The house is beautiful. Breakfast is fantastic. Great supper recommendations for a local restaurant that serves yummy Portuguese food in Mesāo Frio.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful in every way - we were blown away from our 24h stay at this fantastic boutique hotel in the heart of the Duoro valley. worth every euro we spent.
