Casa de Canilhas is a tucked away treasure in the heart of the Douro valley. A bit hard to find at first but once you're there it's worth a visit. There are no common indoor areas so you stay in your room or on a private terrace but can share the gorgeous outdoor pool. Breakfast is served to you in your room. Unfortunately, there was work being done in the building next to my casita: the noise and radio started at 8 AM which detracted from the peace and magic of the area

Hotel is very nice. It is family run. Loved the view overlooking the river. Really calm and tranquil. Very nice hosts. The main issue with this was with Expedia booking. They failed to tell us that this hotel does not accept credit cards— they only accept cash. We found out when we were already in Portugal. Hosts were apologetic and told us that Expedia has been told multiple times about the payment in cash only. Despite my e-mails to Expedia team, I never received any response. Very disappointed with Expedia.

The property is all about the views, which are amazing. The infinity pool is gorgeous. We were told we had a room with a view. We actually had a room with no windows, only a side door that opened onto a patio which had gorgeous views, but not the room itself. Breakfast in the morning was excellent served on the patio. The room had spotty wifi. Better wifi was available in the public living room. The property is far from almost everything. To get to it are a lot of narrow, winding roads. The little town of Masao Frio had very few restaurant choices. The next closest town is 20 minutes on scary roads for driving at night. The staff were less than helpful and not all of them friendly. We were told we did not need a dinner reservation at their recommended place if we got to town before 7:30. At 7:15 the restaurant said their next available table was after 9 PM. We were told at check-in that we had to prepay with cash, no credit cards accepted. Lucky we just about had enough cash; we were not told in advance.

A Dream to Relax In
Such a relaxing, elegant respite from an enchanting day in the Douro Valley...of course. With an salt water infinity pool and picnic breakfast delivered to the room, and a million dollar (Euro?) view of the Douro River, surrounded by vinyards; and friendly, responsive staff...it doesn't get better than this.

It was very picturesque, views were incredible and the staff are very friendly. Our room was on the second floor which had a shared balcony with 2 other rooms so not much privacy and you could hear everyone’s conversations. Also be aware when choosing this hotel that they don’t accept credit cards, only cash. We did not get that notification and were not prepared to have that much cash at check in. (The manager was quite rude about it but another staff member helped us find a solution.)

The property is located in a prime location within the Douro valley and the view from our room was world class. It is a beautiful hotel and setting. Our only negative was the word at check in that they did not accept credit cards..... The local ATM only dispensed up to E200 every 24 hours..... Not acceptable in this day and age,

Amazing in every way! Best view! Best helpful staff. We didn’t bring cash- forgot they don’t take cards Titianna was so helpful and patient. Best staff at any hotel I’ve been in- anywhere. PayPal did the trick. The breakfast was the best ever! View of the Douro from our table! Room was cozy. Great dining recommendation. We felt so taken care of there. It was by far, the best place we have stayed in Portugal! The home is beautiful as is everything. We didn’t want to leave.
