Casa Da Trigueira

If you want to see and feel the "real" Portugal, stay here. This is a small home in a tiny burg of about 300 people. The streets are cobblestone and the homes are made of stone. The road thru town is the width of a wagon, and there's one place in town that served us magnificent (and generous portions) of Portuguese cuisine -- $25 for 2 with wine and dessert. Amazing. The casa is owned by a loving host family. Antonio, the the owner, took care of our entire stay in the Douro -- arranging a boat trip, port tasting and providing insider expertise on where to go (or not go). He is incredibly friendly and helpful despite limited English (thank heavens for Google translate!). It's about 20 minutes or so from Pinhao on the windy road that provides spectacular views. The landscape around the town is spectacular -- vineyards and olives as far as the eye can see. There are two relatively flat hiking trails that go thru town, including a 4 KM circular route. The photos in the autumn look amazing. The rooms are simple but nice; we had the big one with large bathroom on the first floor that had its own porch. Lovely linens and super clean. WiFi provided. This was the highlight of our 2 week trip of Portugal and we recommend it highly!

Eu e meu esposo ficamos na casa da trigueira 7 dias foram maravilhosos desde o atendimento o café da manhã espetacular paisagens linda super recomendo com certeza iremos repetir a nossa viagem obrigado Sr Martinho e Dona Maria

Experiência muito agradável. Casa muito limpa, sempre atentos ao que fosse necessário. Pequeno almoço muito bom com produtos da terra. Atendimento familiar 5 estrelas, pela parte do Sr. António e São. Pessoas muito calorosas e simpáticas. A casa fica numa aldeia muito calma que nos remete para uma grande tranquilidade. Ótimo para descansar e estar em contacto com a natureza envolvente. Recomendo. Paula Bonito
