A brilliant experience made all the more enjoyable by Carmen and Joao's wonderful hospitality. They gave us the warmest of welcomes and treated us like true friends from the moment of our arrival to the time of our reluctant departure.

It is difficult to add anything new about this wonderful place that has not yet been said by previous guests. I was very lucky to get a room, as I decided to take a short break at the very last minute. Stayed 3 nights: the first was in a lovely room overlooking the narrow road, but the day after Carmen...

While we waited for the sun to shine, Carmen and Joao kept us smiling with their wit and humor. The hotel did the rest. As everyone has mentioned, the beds... More

“We recently stayed at Guest House Douro. Porto is a great city and Guest House Douro is perfectly located overlooking the Douro River. The owners, Carmen and Joao, were a great help in choosing places to dine and shop. Immaculate rooms, very comfortable beds, and delightful breakfasts (made even more delightful by Joao). We will definitely return.” More

We enjoyed Porto and Guest House Douro so much the first time that we wanted to visit it again and explore other parts of Portugal, including the Douro Valley and Lisbon. While we enjoyed the other... More
