A charming 17th century manor house where the owner, Manuel de Sampayo and his employees, offer guests warm, Portuguese hospitality in a breathtaking setting. Located high on the hillside above the village of Pinhão (7km), the Casa de Casal de Loivos is a hidden treasure that enjoys uninterrupted views over the weaving Douro river. The property has been fully renovated in a traditional, local style by its current owner and in doing so provides residents with a home from home. Guests can enjoy their breakfast on the shared panoramic terrace or in the dining room, where home cooked evening meals may be served.
