Beautiful views overlooking the Douro, modern style rooms and great facilities such as pool, Turkish steam room, sauna and hot tube. Loved the atmosphere and style of the hotel as well as the connection with the winery.

Very nice view, quiet, though only sandwiches after 7apm, no restaurants nearby, need to drive out. but for the view and quiet, it is still a good choice. Staff are all very nice.
Located in Mesão Frio, a 35-minute drive from Lamego, Imaginário d´El Rei features a seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace.

This hotel was a top highlight of our trip to Portugal. The pictures don't do this view justice; it is fantastic. Our host was amazing and treated us like family. The room had an exceptional view, and the hot tub, pool, and lounge area were amazing. I was so sad to leave!
Also, originally, I thought that this was not in as central of a location in the Douro Valley. After having visited, I think that the location is one of the best in the valley and possibly the best view in the Douro Valley.
Quinta de S.Bernardo - Winery & Farmhouse is offering accommodation in Mesão Frio. Among the various facilities are a garden, a terrace, as well as a shared lounge.

This place is absolutely superb! From the initial contact prior to our visit, to the final farewell there is a commitment to excellence and attention to detail in everything. The location is charming - nestled in the vineyards and a short walk down to the river. There's a lovely range of amenities to use. The staff are totally wonderful - constantly attentive to ensure everything is perfect and to help with anything. The food and wines are superb. Highly recommend the wine tasting with Pedro - a master of his craft. The Quinta is beautiful, lovely design , gorgeous rooms and views, and relatively small so never feels overcrowded or over busy at all. We were expecting a lovely place but this surpassed our high expectations and then some. Its pretty close to perfection! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Once part of a vineyard, Casa d’Alem features a swimming pool overlooking the surrounding countryside and Marão Mountain.

The Casa was very beautiful! The building was full of charm and the rooms were very comfortable. Ik loved the room with a very luxurious bathroom. We had a 3 meal course with wine and port. It was all home made and served in the beautiful garden. We loved it! The host Joanna was very friendly and welcoming. I love to come back one day!

Everything about Quinta das Susandas was excellent. The space is quaint, peaceful, clean, comfortable, and lovely. We received a warm welcome by Nadia, and she was attentive and accommodating throughout our stay. It was our first time travelling as a family of three (with our seven month old baby), and Nadia went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. Our little one was doted on and spoiled, it was wonderful.
The onsite restaurant was impeccable, both for breakfast and dinner. We received great recommendations for off-site restaurants, as well as things to do and sites to see (but we chose to spend our time on the property).
I highly recommend Quinta das Susandas, and only regret not having booked a longer stay. Our family will definitely return to this gorgeous place.

Everything was perfect, comfortable and spacious. Very gracious hosts and had a delicious, plentiful breakfast as an extra. The shower, oh golly - it's beautiful
The location in Duro is breathtaking. Casa de Calinhas is perfect for staying one night. They recommend restaurants and wineries to visit. Idillic day. Village is very small and up windy roads in the mountain, but restaurant have delicious homemade cuisine.

The village of Mesao Frio was a long steep walk from our accommodation Imaginario d'El-Rei but was well worth it. We ate in the local family restaurant Atasca Do Zequinha which was run by a brother and sister. It was right at the top the hill and was almost like going into their own home. The food was excellent along with the local wines and you were made to feel part of the family. We enjoyed it so much that we returned again for our second night.

Mesao Frio is a small, quaint town in the Douro hills at the western end of Portuguese wine country. A small number of charming restaurants, nice people and vineyards abound. Great base for exploring the Upper Douro and Portugal's fantastic wine country.

Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number.
Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number. When I entered, I thought I was going into someone's living room. Didn't look like an inn/B&B. The owner was smoking and the entire place smelled awful. His daughter was ironing. Very odd. Had to walk up flight of stairs with luggage. Breakfast was minimal, we had to wait for bread delivery. Bathroom was tiny and shower was too.
We stayed in 10 different places this trip and this was the most expensive and the worst of all of them. Very disappointed.
We spent over 2 hours trying to find this place. A elderly woman selling cherries by the roadside was finally able to get us there. It was Sunday and by the time we found place, no place was open for dinner. Grade of F.
Outstanding location with breathtaking views over Douro river. The team was awesome and really helpful. The house and garden were so nice we found it hard to leave for daytime activities. Our breakfast was served to our terrace so we could enjoy great food and view. Mesao Frio is in walking distance and you‘ll find restaurants and cafes and a supermarket. Casa de Canilhas is a highlight you should not miss!
Mr. Baradas, the host, is exceptionally kind. He helped us with our luggage, he gave us some valuable information from the Douro region and its Quintas. And he even gave us the option to choose between different rooms. The hotel is very well clean. It has a beautiful view, free/easy parking, and comfortable beds. We had an excellent stay there and a very good night of sleep. Thanks a lot for everything!
Every room has a fantastic view of the Douro River! The casa was a great base for us to explore the Douro region from. It is also a short walk from Mesão Frio, which has good options for cafes and dinner. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable, including having his English-speaking son on hand to make check-in easy. The daily breakfast was delicious!
The vineyard was located high on the hill near the village of Mesão Frio, with an open vista of the Douro Valley. The environment is tranquil and natural, surrounded by plantations and with a swimming pool to take dips in the hot summer weather. The owners/staff were fantastic, especially Senhor Carlos who was friendly, humble, and happy to help with anything.
- Spectacular view , even from your bed ...
- Clean room
- Clean bath room
- Super friendly staff. in fact this is not hotel , but a house , which you are guest in it ! owner cannot speak English well, but with google translate and etc you can manage it. So no worries at all.
- Ok breakfast. it is not like buffet in hotel , but it is ok.
This boutique hotel is a gem! Cristian, the Maria’s and the rest of the team exceeded our needs. Our 4 night stay one of the best we have ever had! The view is breathtaking. So much choice for breakfast and the presentation was impeccable. When visiting the Douro Valley this is a must stay.
Beautiful location with clean comfortable rooms and excellent staff. Our stay here was our favorite part of our trip to Portugal. Able to easily get to by car or train (REDE station close by) and town within 5 minute walking distance for essentials. Wonderful place!
this a beautiful hotel with spectacular views of the Douro valley and terraced vineyards😉the staff were very kind and the breakfast baskets were extremely generous with lots of options. a big plus was the pool that was great during the hot weather.
This property is absolutely stunning!!! The service is incredible, the food amazing and the hotel was lovely and homely. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend this property to anyone heading to the area. The three course dinner is a must!
Wonderful stay. This was our favourite place to stay during our three week trip in Portugal. We wish we were able to stay longer. Peaceful and stunning views. Kind staff and comfortable rooms. Great food and wine. Lovely.
We stayed there for the second time and really enjoyed it. The apartment was very clean and beautiful, had delicious brekfast and loved the outdoor area.
