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.

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.

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.

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.

Clean, quiet with excellent views.

This is a very clean small hotel. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Breakfast is very good, generous. We were able to eat outside and enjoyed the beautiful views. The hotel is located near Misao Frio. There's not a lot of tourism in this area which we appreciated. It made for a very quiet stay. The roads and alleys nearby offer opportunities to walk/excercise while enjoying the scenic views. A local grocery (20 minute walk) offers all you may need. The local restaurants and cafes (also walking distance ) are excellent. Traveling there: We travelled by train and arranged for a taxi to bring us to/from the hotel (10 Euros per trip). It may be advantageous to have your own car if you want to travel around and visit wineries.

Big, big deception. We had booked our trip in the Douro with a 2 night stay at what we thouht would be paradise por our anniversary. After check in, where we had to pay 270€ in cash since they did not accept cards, we were showed our room. Wow! Not at all what we expected or saw on pictures at reservation with cute flowers, view and terrace...It was a dark, damp, small and isolated room under a garage. When we spoke with Mr Victor the owner, he said: " The use of those pictures is Expedia's decision, you paid for a layout with one double bed and that's what you have. Their is nothing I will do for you"...rude.

The property is all about the views, which are amazing. The infinity pool is gorgeous. We were told we had a room with a view. We actually had a room with no windows, only a side door that opened onto a patio which had gorgeous views, but not the room itself. Breakfast in the morning was excellent served on the patio. The room had spotty wifi. Better wifi was available in the public living room. The property is far from almost everything. To get to it are a lot of narrow, winding roads. The little town of Masao Frio had very few restaurant choices. The next closest town is 20 minutes on scary roads for driving at night. The staff were less than helpful and not all of them friendly. We were told we did not need a dinner reservation at their recommended place if we got to town before 7:30. At 7:15 the restaurant said their next available table was after 9 PM. We were told at check-in that we had to prepay with cash, no credit cards accepted. Lucky we just about had enough cash; we were not told in advance.
