Casas do Rio

Very nice b and b. nice pool. you can have a dinner here. not to expensive but keep in mind the room will be in the final price too so dont be suprised if you eat there each night. certainly a good stay in the area. very nice dinner.

My husband and I stayed here for one night while we were walking the Camino. We booked ahead of time via email. The staff were friendly and helpful with someone at the crossroads to direct us. Upon arrival we were greeted with cold orange juice and cake - very nice after a day walking. The staff spoke excellent English which was appreciated because sadly my Portuguese is not very good. The check-in process was quick and easy. The have a laundry service for 5 euros where they wash and dry and return your clothes the next morning which was handy. Our room was amazing!! It was a large, cozy room with a large bathroom with tub and shower. The grounds of the manor are immaculate and there is a pool and jacuzzi as well. There were many nice places to sit and enjoy the grounds. One draw back is that there isn't really anywhere nearby to eat so you kind of have to eat at the manor. They provide a menu that you can choose your meal from and they have quite a few options. The dinner was OK but I felt it was overpriced for what was served. It was about 13 euros per main dish, 9 euros per appetizer and drinks were additional. Despite the high price we had a very nice dinner with some fellow Camino goers which was a lot of fun. Breakfast the following day was exceptional and was included in the price of our stay. We were encouraged to make sandwiches to take along for the day's walk which was very nice! Overall I would stay here again. It was a very relaxing, refreshing stay.

It’s a beautiful place but it is more like a prison then a hotel!! You are not allowed to drink wine, coffee, tea or any other beverage on the patio, in your room or anywhere else on the property except at the dining table. They turn off the heat it was wet and freezing and don’t help you to start a fire in any of their fire places. They are not at all helpful or friendly

Very friendly staff and an excellent place to stay, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Cinema room, pool table, table football, chess, swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna all for free at no cost. Relaxing gardens and outside terrace to enjoy the sun.

What a great B & B !!! Beautiful historic story about this location, you should ask about it, when you're there. We had a specious room with a comfy bed and it felt like we slept in a castle. And every morning we had a very expanded/full breakfast with home made cakes, fruit, fresh bread, meat and cheese. The table was full of delicious things. The daughter of the owner (Filippa - she speaks English), was so nice to us and did everything in her power, to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The garden around the building is big and well maintained with all kinds of fruit trees. And there's a lovely pool, to cool of, when it's hot outside. A great peaceful location to be, in the centre of the north of Portugal, to visit Porto, Braga and Viana de Castello. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family.

Just the right place to escape from the ordinary. With it's familiar atmosphere yet esthetic and luxurious realization it has all the characteristics of an insider tip.

Incredibly nice owners. There is a discount for pilgrims. The complex is spacious and perfectly maintained. There is a pool and a whirlpool. Breakfast is amazing. Beside fruits from own cultivation there are many sausage and cheese varieties. Homemade pastries and omlettes are also available. And at a very small price. The rooms are also very nice and clean.

We came here as pelgrims on our way to Santiago. This was the best possible stop. Enjoyed the hospitality, the facilities and the amazing garden. We would definitely come another time.
