Casas de Pousadouro - 1043 Laranjal Santa Cruz do Douro

Amazing ??

The Best

Excellent! Very good to relax!

A wonderful place! Superb location in a very good house!

Great accommodation with very caring staff, making sure you have a plan for the day, offering alternatives and a home made cocktail when you get back after hiking in the area or visiting vineyards

This was a great place for a secluded stay in the Douro Valley. I stayed here in June of this year (2015) and our stay couldn't have been better. The location is secluded and quiet..perfect for a romantic getaway. Our host (Orlando) was the best. He knew the Douro Valley like the back of his hand. In just a few days time we were able to book tours and travel to many areas and wine makers with the help or Orlando. In addition, they really make you feel like home here. Overall, great service, great host, and relaxing stay.

This place is fabulous. I couldn’t find a better place. I was looking for a quiet hotel so I could rest by the river, but having the chance to go and visit different cities in the north. From the beginning until the very last minute, everything was superb. On arrival, the host showed me to my ‘house’ and introduce the basic, give you some indications what you could do in the area and in the surrounding areas. Diana was amazing. What have I loved about this place? The simplicity, there is no need more to impress the guests. You’re next to the river, a beautiful view at any point of the day. All the comunal areas are lovely, tidy. The house: SPOTLESS. I have stayed at Piloto house, which is the largest of the houses, you sit in the living room and you just admire the view, you can even listen to the birds. The room was great, with a massive window to the river side too. Clean everyday. The breakfast: TOP! They’ll serve you freshly squeezed orange juice, and these gorgeous bread just out of the oven, butter and this amazing cheese. There is not a thing that I have not enjoyed in this place. I don’t normally review my stays but I can tell all the hard work this place have. Because there is not such a personalised service like this one in any of the big 4* and 5* hotels, because there are so many people visiting this places that you’re just a number. At casas de Pousadouro they know you, they acknowledged you and you really feel like home. Thank you very much for this marvellous 5 days. Big shout out to Diana and Adelaide, you’re an asset to this business. Hopefully I will visit this place soon.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, places like Casas de Pousadouro show up. Absolutely perfect. Amazing location, great accommodation. And above all, a fantastic service provided by all the staff, especially Juliana. They are so welcoming and they make you feel like you’re at home. I would and I will return for sure. Thanks for a great stay.
