We loved everything. Anna and her family were really gracious, patient hosts. The room was bigger and more comfortable than expected, and the surroundings were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend this place.

Everything - wonderful place

Location was beautiful if a bit isolated. A car is a definite plus if you want to make traveling in the area easy. Food was not included in the house rental but hosts did accommodate us the first night and even gave us some breakfast items. House itself was very comfortable for the three of us and views cannot be beat. Really enjoyed spending the evening on the main inn patio chatting with other guests (ones who were staying at the B & B part of the inn). Did not meet Mario as he was away during our stay but his daughter Caterina, her husband Pedro and their friend Kevin were incredible. Again if you are looking for a few days away from noise, this place cannot be beat. You will be surrounded by nature, nice people, good wine and incredible views. Just be prepared to drive a bit if you want to go to a town (nearest one about 15 minutes away). But you do have everything you will need right there including a great spot to swim in the river right down the hill from the inn (very short walk)

We arrived quite late after cycling in the rain all day and Sara was there to greet us and help us. She transformed the whole house into a beautiful place. Very well thought out. The room was spacious, the common areas were very nice, we definitely recommend. Thank you Sara.

Beautiful location. Scenery, swimming pool, picking oranges for fresh squeezed juice. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

Location: Between the Sabor river and the Douro river, near IP2. When you cross the bridge on the Sabor go always up until you find the only yellow house – it’s the hotel. The location is quiet, with great views to the mountains and the Sabor river. The beach is close by. We recommend the Lamerinho restaurant (ca 800 m). The menu is very short: fried fish from the river served with chips and a salad. For the all-you-can-eat-and-drink (including wine and soft drinks) you will pay only 12,50 € pp (cash payment only). The place is a good base to explore south part of the Douro International Nature Park and the UNESCO site of the Coa Valley. Hotel: The building has three levels, each at the ground level (quite frequent in Portugal). The hosts live at the highest level, and the lowest level accommodate the hotel, 4 rooms, dining room and the terrace with great views. The hotel is separated and independent from the private area of the hosts. Room: small but functional, electric sockets available near the bed, lighting is OK Bed: large, for my wife it was very comfortable, for me little bit too hard, but I easily solved the problem with a duvet put on the mattress. Bathroom: large and comfortable, large shower cabin, good pressure of water. Breakfast: Excellent. If you prefer French style you can eat homemade jams, and homemade cake, fresh bread. In case you prefer German style you will find local meats, ham and cheese. We were also offered to make sandwiches to have a lunch during hiking we planned. WiFi: Good in the dining room and at the terrace, weak signal in the room. Parking: at the yard (rather tight). Alternatively there is also a parking space at the street – safe and more space. Staff: Excellent. Paula is very friendly and helpful. We could put our food into her refrigerator and were offered a boiling water to prepare our afternoon tea. If you stay more than one day ask Paula for a dinner. She loves to cook and prepares great food.

one of the most unique and perfect places ever, this a must stay location

Good location and beautiful sightseeing at Foz do Sabor. The room was clean. Breakfast was brought to us in the morning and was very good and thoughtful, considering we have two small children. The host was attentive and available.
