This hotel is a real gem! The rooms are extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. They are clustered in attractive small buildings around the pool, and each room has its own patio or terrace with table and chairs for sitting out and enjoying the view. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We found the complimentary carafe of port wine in... more

A renovated manor house in the small village of Chanceleiros, about 500 feet above, and overlooking the Douro River. Some have remarked that the drive up to the village is hair-raising, but I would not put it as strongly as that. Virtually all the reviews are extremely positive, and I would go along with them. This is a small hotel... more

Our room had the most amazing views and the... more

We stayed for 4 nights in early September, as a special celebration. It was like visiting friends rather than staying at an hotel.

The gardens are lovely too - so much in bloom! Getting to the hotel I think is quite scary - it is... more

This place is so perfect it is unbelievable. From the warm welcome to the farewell bottle of port Ursula and her team have worked so hard to make this one you will want to return to again and again. The entrance from the car park is quite dark which makes the walk into the garden even more amazing. The rooms... more

We arrived at arrived at the Casa do Visconde de Chanceleiros at night time and nothing could prepare me for what I experienced the next morning! Although it was dark outside the first impressions were excellent; the warm welcome from the owners, Kurt and Ursula and the impressive reception area that was both stylish in decoration but also extremely cosy!... more
