Hotel Casa do Tua

Such a wonderful place to stay. Friendly, clean, quiet, wonderful views across the river Douro and a great little pool area!! I simply loved this hotel. Exceeded my expectations. It's just across the Street from the railway station, so couldn't be any easier to get to from Porto, Pinhao or wherever (I made the journey from Lisbon by train!). A very warm welcome on arrival. Rooms are quite large and very comfortable. The place is so relaxing and quiet! Breakfast is a good selection of cold meats, breads, fruit, yogurt and tasty cooked-2-order scrambled eggs. The swimming pool overlooks the Douro and the views are spectacular. Hardly any noise - a train every now and again - it's mostly birdsong from dawn to dusk to accompany you as you relax. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Nice walk along the river and an interesting small museum/information centre about the area just across the street.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel very much. The staff is VERY helpful - in fact I don't believe I have ever stayed at a hotel with such kind people. They mean it, when they ask if everything is ok. The breakfast was delicious as well, and with a beautiful view to the river and the vineyards on the mountain sides. This is a hotel you just HAVE to visit. Thank you!

Discovering this hotel was one of the unexpected delights of our trip. Set in a tiny town in the Douro valley, the hotel is literally riverfront with spectacular views. It is literally across the street from the train station, so one could take the train from Porto- we were driving. There are restaurants within an easy walk. Our room was spotless, good sized, with a comfy bed and quiet. There is a sparkling clean pool and a sun terrace. The breakfast buffet is generous. The hosts are lovely.

Immaculately clean, incredibly friendly staff, amazing location, great breakfast. One of the best places we’ve stayed in some time. Wonderful!

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Casa do Tua for three nights. We booked the apartment unit so that we could sit out on the balcony and enjoy several glasses of wine whilst watching the boats go by and taking in the view of the olive trees and the vineyards on the opposite bank. The unit was extremely clean and the facilities in the kitchen were more than adequate if you wanted to cook you own meal. José is an exceptional host. We left behind my wife's eBook reader and adaptor by mistake. José contacted us right away and offered to send it to us after first finding out the shipping cost. We reimbursed him via PayPal and the eReader arrived in Canada two weeks later beautifully wrapped. We couldn't have asked for a better response. Breakfast on the deck in the morning (if you don't want to do your own breakfast) and a swim at the end of the day made for a very relaxing time. We recommend taking the train to Pinhao - an 18 minute ride at a bargain price - and visiting the Quinta do Bomfim winery.

Very peaceful location and beautiful views of the river and vineyards. Room nice and bright, good size bathroom and nice breakfast with lots of choices. Very friendly staff. Also the swimming pool was lovely. Tua is a very small village with only 2 restaurants but you can go to town of Pinhao in 15 minutes on the train. If you want to relax and enjoy nature I definitely recommend Casa do Tua.

Would highly recommend. Check-in was easy and welcoming. Staff are very accomodating and friendly. Breakfast buffet was great. Lovely walking trail along river below hotel, train station across the street if you would like to take a scenic ride. Room was spotless and comfortable. Awesome common areas, big pool, games room with pool table, sitting area with loungers and big TV. The breakfast room was first class.

We had a wonderful stay. The peace, tranquility and scenery were perfect. This is a gem and we will stay here again. The staff were great.

Amazing place to stay for a peaceful time 💕
