Casa do Arco by Douro Exclusive

Beautiful views, wonderful space and excellent breakfasts! Will go back again! All saff members were great!

It was absolutely stunning in every way. Service was amazing as well. 100% will be back.

Incredible stay. The views are amazing. António, the house manager, was so knowledgeable and helpful. We loved our stay in the suite.

Wonderful experience Amazing view Excellence service

We had a truly wonderful experience at Casa do Arco. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Antonio and Guilherme, whose hospitality was exceptional and heartfelt. Our room was absolutely stunning, with an unbeatable view of the Douro Valley — waking up to that scenery felt like a dream. Everything was impeccably clean and thoughtfully arranged, making our stay both comfortable and luxurious. We shared a magical romantic moment here, one we’ll always remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking for beauty, peace, and genuine hospitality in the Douro region.

Absolutely amazing and special experience! Would recommend to anyone staying in the Douro Valley! Just amazing!

Un petit bijou dans la vallée du Douro. Vue superbe et excellente table. Personnel courtois. La grande classe!

Amazing and very cosy hotel. It only has 3 rooms but that is the charme of this hotel. In return you have a very relaxed morning with a good breakfast. They use fresh ingredients for the breakfast and they don't use sugar. The thing I liked the most (and I think that is also the nr1 reason to book here) is the amazing view over the Douro valley. Marco and his wife Ana are very friendly and helpful. They also offer a great full day tour in the Douro valley with amazing lunch! I would recommend this to establishment to everybody!

The personal service from the owners was fantastic and the food in their restaurant was excellent. I highly recommend a day in this lovely very small hotel.

Beautiful property in the Douro region!!! It was the highlight of our two week trip in Portugal. Gi made our arrival warm and welcoming. The view from the living room as well as our room were both stunning. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Incrível. Vista encantadora. Lugar muito intimistas e aconchegante.

Absolutely lovely accommodation with stunning views! Perfect for a quiet and cozy night out in the mountain with all amenities to make the stay comfortable. Definitely a must book just for the view alone. Room was well designed, furnished and cosy.

Highly recommended

Wonderful staff and beautiful setting.

This was the highlight of our trip. We stayed in the Almond suite and it was gorgeous. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel right at home. The space is beautiful, the bed was so Comfortable, very clean and quiet. You look out and are surrounded by vineyards. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and delicious. The restaurant was closed the night we arrived (Sunday) but I wish we could have tasted the food here since the breakfast was amazing. The hosts helped us with dinner reservations and gave great suggestions for wineries to visit. 11/10 place to stay. Would highly reccomend!

Excellent séjour a la Casa do Arco. La vue sur la vallée et les collines du Douro est sublime. Le personnel est parfait.

Fabulous service. Fabulous views. We are in another world here.

Absolut fantastisk oplevelse i de mest skønne omgivelser. Servicen var i særklasse - især unge Antonio gjorde vores ophold til et, vi altid vil huske! Huset og omgivelserne var utroligt smukke.

First of all big thanks to Tony, Marco and Ana. Although the Casa itself is excellent, you 3 make it so much more :) Your hospitality and personal service made us feel like part of your family. Everything just works. Great room, awesome views, nice breakfast and delicious dinner with local wines. If your staying here, please also check their tours. We took the 1 day Douro tour and it was beautiful.

We absolutely loved staying here. The views are amazing, and the rooms were lovely. We had dinner in their restaurant both nights of our stay and they were both wonderful (especially the veal). We highly recommend staying here.

Amazing experience. Beautiful, tiny hotel, owned and operated by a local couple. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel special. On a hill overlooking Pinhão with amazing views. Great restaurant.

Our stay was amazing! The house manager and owner makes sure that you are taken care of! From the moment we walked in to dinner to our room, everything felt detailed and customer to our needs. I definitely recommend staying here. The hotel itself is only a 6 minute drive from the restaurants and shops around the river, great location.

Tout simplement merveilleux, un accueil et un service de qualité assurés par Tony et Marco. Cadre idyllique au cœur des vignes du Douro. Une chambre avec un panorama incroyable. On y dîne également divinement bien.

A little piece of paradise in the Douro Valley. The scenery in this area is incredible and the property takes full advantage of this. Beautiful furnishings, views from all rooms and service is excellent. Breakfast was a delight.

Hidden gem! We stayed in the Almond Suite for one night and had an incredible experience. The room and the entire property were so stylish, clean and photogenic. The views from the room at sunrise were worth waking up early for. Dinner and breakfast were both fantastic, and we really appreciated the personalization and the hospitality of the staff. I would highly recommend staying here on a trip to Douro Valley.

Excellent property, amazing view, beautiful interior and exterior design, impeccably services, comfortable bed with premium bedding (the most important element for me to measure a hotel), and excellent meals! The area is astonishingly beautiful! Highly recommend the property to others when visiting Douro Valley area!

Wonderful place - quiet, tranquil and thoughtful service.

The best choice in Douro Valley. It was absolutely perfect.

Antonio (Tony) greeted our party (4 guests) with a smile and attended to our needs throughout our stay. The experience was unique and personalized. One couple stayed in the “Almond” room with spectacular views of the Douro River and valley. The room was extremely clean and allowed us to sit and admire the tranquil views and gorgeous sunrise. In addition, both couples enjoyed the outdoor sitting area to view the river while drinking wine from the collection of wines provided for an additional cost. Before dinner, the lounge room allowed us to further view out from the expansive picturesque window at dusk. The meals for breakfast and dinner were prepared well and delicious. The chef created meals to cater to various palates. Tony’s service was professional and helpful. Overall, the three bedroom house was clean, organized, and beautiful. A definite location to visit and experience. It was an exceptional and we highly recommend staying at Casa do Arco.

Tony was top-notch. Very helpful from beginning to end. Beautiful view, serene surroundings, and great food. We wished to have stayed at least one more night.

Excellent stay. We loved the view from our room. Pinhão is a short 10 min drive. Tony was super helpful and arranged reservations at the wineries.

This is a beautiful 3 room guesthouse. Anna, the proprietress, greeted us and even let us check in a bit early. They were very solicitous and welcoming of our 5 year old. They made sure he had kid's cereal for breakfast, and made him a special kid's meal for dinner. It was his birthday, so they very kindly made him a birthday brownie and made him feel special. Everything about this property is stunning. Would highly recommend staying here along with having dinner on site.

This place was a highlight of our anniversary trip in Portugal! It was beautiful with incredible views. Marco and Antonio were truly amazing. We ended up eating dinner there was incredible. This is a small gem that I would highly recommend!

I would give this property 6 stars if I could. Book this for your stay in Douro! They accommodated early check in, greeted us with Port and upgraded our room. Their staff assisted us with reservations to wineries, local restaurants and viewpoints. The property is incredible and you feel right at home. The breakfast is amazing and they are so attentive. It was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at and will be telling all of our friends to stay here when in this area.

Great place to destress and relax. Great personable service and amazing food at their restaurant!

Une vue extraordinaire, la maison est dans un cadre viticole à couper le souffle. Tranquillité assurée. Les chambres sont modernes, très confortables et belles . Petit bémol, il n’y a pas de porte dans la zone toilette, cela n’est pas très agréable pour un séjour romantique.

Very friendly host Incredible view All was perfect

An amazing experience! It is a paradise less than 2 hours drive from the city of Porto. 5 nights stay with my family in this beautiful, quiet and serene setting. The house is modern, with a blessed view from the mountain towards Pinhão and the Douro River. The staff and the owners were impeccable to our needs, delicious breakfasts, all the windows have a beautiful view to The Valley. The pool and grounds are very well kept. We had a delicious dinner wiith wine pairing in the premise one of the nights, which I highly recommend. Reservation is required. We rented a car so all the wineries, restaurants and the little towns around Pinhão were 10-20 minutes drive from the hotel. I am looking forward to stay here again next time that I come to visit Porto.

Our stay at Casa Do Arco was amazing! The property location, facilities, rooms, food and service are out of this world. Anna and Marco have gone above and beyond with every detail.

The property has great views of the Douro. Our room was very comfortable with a big picture window with a phenomenal view of the valley. Marco,Ana, Gi and Katerina were very attentive to our needs and even though the restaurant was closed on Monday provided a tasty dinner in a box. Breakfast was substantial and a good selection of local produce offered.

This is one of the easiest five star reviews I’ve ever mad. The property is incredible, and the hospitality is amazing. The staff was so helpful and friendly! And the view from the hotel is maybe the best in the Douro. I will definitely stay here when I return to the Douro someday!

I had an absolutely amazing time at Casa do Arco. From the moment my mother and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm and hospitable welcome that made us feel right at home. As other reviews mentioned, you need to experience the dinner. The owner went above and beyond to craft a personalized experience that was nothing short of exceptional. The food was simply divine, and the presentation was equally remarkable. A fun point during the dinner was being able to chat with the other guests. It felt genuine and refreshing to connect with people from around the world and share that moment together. As for the suite, it was everything we could have wanted and more - luxurious, tasteful, and carefully designed with attention to every detail. One of my favorite memories from the stay was gazing at the stars at night through the large floor to ceiling window. It was the most peaceful way to fall asleep. The level of care and attention didn't stop there - private transfers in luxurious Mercedes Benz cars ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trip. The transfer company itself was impressive and knew the owner and hotel manager extremely well, making us feel comfortable and confident. The location itself was perfect - close enough to the town for convenience, yet set amidst the serene and beautiful Douro Valley. The true Douro Valley, by the way. If you’re looking for something intimate and sophisticated, this is it.

Lovely stay

What a treasure of a place! The place is perfect for a calm and restful getaway. The staff was amazing and attentive throughout our entire stay and the dinner is a must!

Intimate and small with amazing rooms and picture postcard views, food superb. The small team that run this place work really hard on the details to make this a very special place.

Perhaps the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Service is warm and personal, the best I've experienced by a long way. The room we stayed in was perfect, pictures can't really show how lovely it is. The same goes for the surroundings, wich are spectacular. Looking forward to going back as soon as possible!

Everything was such a dream. The service, the views, the small details, the meals, the comfort of the bed, and my gosh, the staff is incredible. One of the most memorable experiences I've had to date.

What an incredible place! Words and pictures can not do justice to the uniqueness and beauty of this hotel. With only three rooms on the premise, we the guests had a certain sense of home away from home as soon as we stepped on the property; Almost every window in this hotel has breadmaking view to melt you away. I also strongly urge the guests to at least try one dinner on site. Food is delicious but the service is even better. If this is your first time in Duoro Valley, please stay here. For the only bad thing is when you have to pack and leave.

My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and it was a dream. I live in Portugal, and this is the best service I've had in the entire country. The hotel itself is small - there are only three rooms - which is fantastic, as you don't feel like just another guest. If anything, when you go downstairs for breakfast, it feels like you are home. The staff are universally friendly and all speak many languages, including English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Silvia in particular was incredible. I called ahead, and they organized flowers and champagne for the room when we arrived. When the room we were given didn't have the view I expected from the photos here (two rooms have the view of the valley, and one to the east), they upgraded us without hesitation to their best room, since it was free. The whole hotel is extremely well designed - homey but modern. They have contacts seemingly at every attraction, vineyard, and restaurant, and were able to call for us to schedule things - even when the public phone numbers weren't working. They have straight five star reviews for a reason. You won't be disappointed.

Casa de Arco made our stay in the Douro Valley an unforgettable experience. This brand new hotel is pristine. Every detail for comfort and ease has been considered. The owners Marco and Anna put their heart and soul into making their guests feel at home. The views from each huge picture window are amazing. We will definitely book again!

Fantastisk gennemført nyt hotel, udsigterne fra haven og gennem de store vinduespartier, giver en smuk oplevede af Douro dalen. Værelser er smagfuldt indrettet. Maden er helt i top, der er Ikke noget der ikke er tænkt over, vi tog menuen med vin, super lækker oplevelse, morgenmaden er sublim og lækker. Kan varmt anbefale et ophold, det giver ro i sjælen. Tak

Superou nossas expectativas! Tudo excepcional. Desde a atenção pessoal dos proprietários, até a qualidade dos serviços. Recomendo vivamente experimentar! Voltarei com certeza
