This is an old house, with some interesting history & furnishings. It is not a hotel, it’s a B&B, with 3-4 bedrooms and the owners live upstairs.
The ( ensuite) bathrooms are very dated. The ( included) breakfasts are served at 9am, but the staff are very helpful and did provide breakfast earlier when we asked.
The house overlooks Regua across the River, it’s only a 20-minute walk into that town which has a couple of good restaurants for dinner. The town of Lamego is further, about a 15-minute drive.
Although the house is very interesting, the furnishings are old and I was rather concerned about the lack of any smoke detectors …..definitely not a place to stay if you like modern decor .

Decepção
Casa dos Varais não deveria abrir no verão pois não tem infraestrutura para o calor. Não tem ar condicionado e estávamos com 45ºC, não tem frigobar e nem TV. É uma casa onde o proprietário aluga quartos, não é um hotel. Foi uma decepção desde a chegada. Reservamos 2 noites e ficamos apenas uma pois o calor era insuportável sem ar condicionado. Nem janelas pudemos abrir pois o quarto ficaria mais quente ainda. um Horror.

Casarão a beira do Rio D'Ouro.
Trata-se de um imóvel do século XVIII, com todos os quesitos que remetem-no ao tempo; a mobília e a louça é toda de época; na qual quem hospeda-se desfruta de toda essa riqueza; além de curtir o Rio D"Ouro da ampla varanda frontal saboreando as delícias dos vinhos e frutas da propriedade, vale a pena para quem gosta; não possui conforto da modernidade.

Fantastic if not in the basement room
I am very conflicted about my stay here. Before I mention the negative, I will mention the positive. First of it, it is a lovely home, and the owners are super friendly, and the staff is more than accommodating. The outdoor patio is splendid at night, and the meat and cheese spread with fruit is yummy, as well as the wine that is made right there.
Now the negatives, at least for me, included having a substandard room downstairs that is about 10 feet from a busy road with speeding cars zipping by all the time. The noise level is the worst I have experienced. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the windows are basically attached only by hinges attached to stone openings -- they are not sealed in anyway so they fit loosely with gaps all around -- basically no insulation at all. In addition, it is a sparse room with an old (badly needing upgrades) bathroom. There were other issues as well, but basically all pertaining to that particular room. So, if you can be assured that you will not be put in the basement, you will probably love it. It really is very nice. I just don't know how I got that room.

Maison de caractère
Accueil très professionnel. Bons conseils pour visiter les environs. Cadre très agréable que ce soit la maison ou le jardin et la terrasse. Petit déjeuner parfait: fruit frais, fromage, jambon,.....gâteaux.
La maison est située à 20mm à pied de la gare.

Lovely original Portuguese home
Very suitable as a home but not so suitable for modern expectations of hotel comfort

For dyrt i forhold til standard på hotellet
Hotellet var ok hadde det ikke vært for råttent gulv ved vindu, der det også luktet sterkt av råte/ mugg spesielt når man stakk hodet inn ved vinduet. Og pga dette så ble jeg sjuk.
Man kunne nesten tråkke mellom gulvet når man skulle inn til badet.
Veldig synn for personalet var veldig hyggelige og hotellt har en egen skjarm.
Så lei en annen plass er min anbefaling da det heller ikke er boe billig hotell og overnatte på.
Frokosten var flott, med mye egenproduserte produkter.

A must go winery hotels at Regua
A historical winery hotel. All decoration are very fine and classic. Of course, you should not expect some modern facilities. But the room is comfy and clean Do try the dinner. We tried the smoked trout meal during our stay. We ate on a long dinig table and were served like king and queen. Furthermore, the couple owning the house are very nice. They will show guests around their house, grapes farm and wine making rooms, and will share their expertise knowledge about port wine.
Beside, the house is convenient. It is about 30 minutes from the Regua train station on foot or less than 5 min. by taxi. Regua is also good getaway from Porto. Train from Porto to Regua is frequent daily with only 2 hours for a trip. At Regua, you can take boat trip of Douro River, go to port wine museum, take a mini tram ride at the town centre.

Cadre agréable mais impossible de dormir
L'établissement est une demeure typique, l'accueil est bon mais impossible de dormir à cause du lit qui craque au moindre mouvement. Dommage et regrettable.
