Beautiful views overlooking the Douro, modern style rooms and great facilities such as pool, Turkish steam room, sauna and hot tube. Loved the atmosphere and style of the hotel as well as the connection with the winery.
Overlooking the Douro River, this Portuguese house offers free Wi-Fi and air-conditioned rooms. Casa De Canilhas has an outdoor pool with a sun-lounger terrace.

Very nice view, quiet, though only sandwiches after 7apm, no restaurants nearby, need to drive out. but for the view and quiet, it is still a good choice. Staff are all very nice.

Everything was perfect, comfortable and spacious. Very gracious hosts and had a delicious, plentiful breakfast as an extra. The shower, oh golly - it's beautiful
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.
The Quinta de S.Bernardo was an absolutely amazing experience. The hotel staff were extremely tentative, serviced-minded and friendly and the team really made us fell like we were home. The facilities were beautiful and the nature surrounding the hotel was breath-taking. The food was equally wonderful. We enjoyed the pool, but also that there were possibilities to do activities such as kayaking, biking, etc. Overall it was a excellent experience! We will be coming back :)
Outstanding location with breathtaking views over Douro river. The team was awesome and really helpful. The house and garden were so nice we found it hard to leave for daytime activities. Our breakfast was served to our terrace so we could enjoy great food and view. Mesao Frio is in walking distance and you‘ll find restaurants and cafes and a supermarket. Casa de Canilhas is a highlight you should not miss!
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!
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.
The hotel was amazing! very nice rooms, clean and comfy. the family room was great with lots of board games to play. we were surprised to find out that there is an indoor pool and gym (good surprise (; ). The restaurant was very good! great food at dinner and also at breakfast. And last, the view from the hotel is amazing!
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.
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 a beautiful hotel with spectacular views of the Douro valley and terraced vineyards😉the staff were very kind and the breakfast baskets were extremely generous with lots of options. a big plus was the pool that was great during the hot weather.
Probably my favorite stay in Portugal! Everything about this place was exceptional! Great location, THE BEST views of Douro Valley, courteous staff, delicious breakfast delivered right to the door... What else can you ask for?! 😊
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.
Beautiful and stylish apartment located in vineyard with amazing view. Communication was perfect, host was very nice and helpful. If I will come to Mesao Frio again, I will be happy to stay there. Enjoyed a lot:)
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
Douro Scala is a great hotel to escape for a couple's weekend! Quiet location, great views, lovely pool area and the food was amazing! Highly recommend to recharge and enjoy a few days as a couple!
Our favourite place of our entire Portugal trip. Not only is the location stunning, the hosts’ attention to detail and classy service have you feeling totally pampered. Highly recommend.
