We arrived early and checked our bags with the porter so we could take a wine tour and tasting on the property. Then we had reserved an hour in the water circuit part of the spa during the “kids hour” so our young ones could enjoy that. We had dinner in the restaurant which was also a top notch experience.

- "Amazing location. Very attentive staff. The evening tasting menu with paired wine. Relaxed atmosphere" - "Lovely stay. Whilst we were there we had the most wonderful wine tour with a really knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, and with a tasting of some lovely wines. Dinner was delicious. Breakfast too. We'd been meaning to visit the Douro Valley for a long time and were not disappointed!" - "We stayed in the new modern building, and the room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. Bathroom included a soaking tub and separate shower. The room also included it's own little outdoor sitting area which was perfect for just 2 people with views onto vineyards across the valley. They had oranges from their plentiful orange trees on the property in our room when we arrived, and more available at the desks around the building - SO DARN GOOD! We did the tour and tasting (which is complimentary for guests of the Quinta) which was really nerdy (in the best way possible) - they've set up a virtual reality view of start to finish in making wine: picking grapes, cleaning them, processing, etc. I had a massage as well which was just ok; i'll admit that i'm more of a deep tissue lots of pressure sort of person, and this was more swedish style massage with some pressure. FYI the 75 min massage offered isn't described on the 'menu' very well: the masseuse told me that it's a body scrub with grape seeds, followed by a shower, then lastly a massage. Otherwise: definitely recommend."

- "Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Great wine and meals prepared by chef Marlene. Would absolutely recommend." - "I could write an essay about our stay in Casal dos Capelinhos, because it was the best stay we ever had. From the start to finish, everything was beyond perfection. The location, the room, the views just incredible! What made this place special were people there, we adore every single one of them. They made us feel like home and we were very sad when we had to go. Me and my family will come back for sure, and for a longer period next time, because this place made us feel relaxed and we enjoyed it so much. Casal dos Capelinhos is very secure, the property is very big and beautiful. There is fruit garden below the main house and we were enjoying oranges and mandarines everyday. One of the most special things about this place is the food. We had breakfast and dinner everyday and it was just so good. I can not express how awesome and delicious all the food was. Marlene, the chef, she is the sweetest and let me tell you, she knows how to cook. While writing this review, we are just checking when can we come back. :)"
