Casa Relógio de Sol

During our Douro Valley visit, we had an exceptional experience at Casa Relógio de Sol. The serene location offers stunning vineyard views, making it ideal for couples. The atmosphere is warm and homely, with beautiful decorations throughout. Carla and José made us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast was outstanding, offering various delicious options, even catering to my lactose intolerance. Carla's red wine “Relógio de Sol Reserva 2015” was superb; it's a pity we didn't buy more bottles, but we will return. We highly recommend staying here! Irena

just returned from here. Such a beautiful setting and everything about it was wonderful. the upstairs suite was beautifully furnished with arty touches and breakfast was excellent. As it was hot we made use of the pool which was a lovely temperature. the town is just a short drive away for local restaurants.

We spent a week at Casa Relogio de Sol with absolutely no regrets. The room was comfortable and clean with very good AC (it was in the 40s outside at times!). The pool was just outside our room, along with shady or sunny places to sit out, depending on the time of day. There's plenty of choice for breakfast, with fresh fruit and juice every day, plus all the usual hot and cold choices - something for everyone. The host Clara, couldn't be any more welcoming and helpful: a truly kind person. We attended a wedding at the neighbouring Quinta da Pacheca winery, which is a few minutes' walk away. A car is useful, and it is a short drive across the River Douro to Pesa da Regua, where there are some good restaurants. We particularly enjoyed Restaurante O Maleiro - great Portuguese food at a reasonable price - very large helpings! If you get the chance, visit Lamego and Pinhau, and take a return trip on the Linha do Douro railway from Regua to Pocinho - fabulous scenery all the way, there and back.

Simplesmente maravilhoso. Os quartos são enormes, muito confortáveis e decorados com bom gosto. O local é muito agradável e fica pertíssimo da Régua e do rio Douro. O pequeno almoço é digno de um hotel de 5 estrelas, com muita variedade, produtos caseiros e frescos. Além destes pontos positivos, o facto de os anfitriões serem de uma simpatia inexcedível, faz com que a nossa estadia fosse memorável. Dou 5 estrelas porque não é possível dar 6. Voltaremos garantidamente.

Experiência muito boa. Um ótimo local para relaxar no meio da Natureza. Quartos, limpeza, decoração, tudo 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Ótimo atendimento e simpatia da D. Carla e família. Com certeza é uma Casa Portuguesa 🙂.
