If you have a car, and have the good fortune to be traveling in the Douro Valley, this place is not to be missed. It is a bit hard to get to, but well worth the effort. Fantastic setting, beautiful rooms and amenities, and 5-star service.
This is a family-run guesthouse, and Maria knows the area, the history, the products, and the hospitality business. Just a gem.
I regret that I didn’t build in a day just to relax, visit one or 2 of the nearby (5 minute drive) wineries, and relax by the pool with the spectacular view of the Valley.
Casa do Santo receives my highest recommendation.
