- "What sets Portugal apart in the post pandemic world of tourism is the fact that they’ve reached that stage in between early and fully matured tourism. This allows for exceptional service which we received in all four locations we stayed at but the proprietors, Margaride and her brother Luis stand out as above and beyond the others Beginning all the way with my reservation that was made six months ahead, Margaride continuously communicated via WhatsApp with me. Sending me a wealth of information about the area including restaurant choices, tourist attractions and answering every question I had about driving, weather, culture, wine tasting and everything else, it was beyond what I expected and then some. She also helped make dinner reservations. The property itself is stunningly gorgeous. Set on a hillside with an amazing view of the valley, the three large bungalows are large, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. There’s a small pool overlooking the valley although the water was kept insanely cold by our standards. Luis runs the wine business and arranged a tasting for us when we arrived. Explaining the industry and business in great detail, it’s a nice start to visiting the area. Although breakfast is not included, Margaride brought us local breads and pastries from the town and left them at our door. There’s full kitchen facilities should you choose to cook. Be aware that the roads of the Duoro Valley are quite narrow, very twisty and turns and hazardous at night if you’re unfamiliar with that type of driving. But do make an effort to float down the river on a ribello (the boats they used to carry wine downriver), visit Quinta Nova or other quality vineyards and explore the charming town of Lamego nearby. Priced exceptionally well for such a beautiful location, the property is beautiful and the proprietors work way too hard which benefits all their customers. Five stars and no negative comments."

- "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. :)"
