Casa do Arco by Douro Exclusive

Simply outstanding in every aspect! Delicious food, impeccable service and beautiful surroundings. We absolutely loved this top notch hotel. Our beautiful (Fig Tree) room had an amazing view of the valley at day, and breathtaking view of the starry sky at night. Being a foodie (vegetarian) couple, we found the food at Casa do Arco among the absolute best we’ve had. More than a month after the trip, I’m still remembering the pasta with awe. On a final note, I’d like to especially highlight the hotel management’s wonderful attention to detail. They didn’t hesitate to check on food ingredients we asked about, and even proactively double checked some of the breakfast items for the same information - without us having to ask. Every detail is truly taken care of so that you as a guest can relax and fully enjoy your stay.

Casa do Arco is amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. The views are spectacular and, with only three rooms, it's very very relaxed. The owners and staff are friendly and really want you to have an excellent time. Breakfast is yummy. The bed is comfortable and, if you come in summer, you will make use of the pool with lovely views. Definitely choose to stay here!

First off, the service from Marco, Ana, G, Tony, and staff was exceptional. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they attended to every need with personalized attention to detail. The included breakfast featured fresh fruits, yogurt, eggs any way we like, as well as bread and granola made in house. We also had lunch in the restaurant and every dish was delightful right down to the homemade kimchi butter (awesome). We also took a winery tour with Marco where we were chauffered around the stunning Douro Valley in a very slick Audi A8 wagon 😎. Marco was a wealth of knowledge on the valley's history, culture, food and wine, and any other questions we had. We were treated to private winery tours and tastings, a wonderful 3 course lunch at Toca da Raposa with wine pairings from the owner who we shared laughs with, as well as a sweet boat ride up the river with very special tawny port on board. Notice I haven't even mentioned the hotel rooms or the views yet? That's the cherry on top. Clean rooms with tasteful, minimal decor to highlight the mind-blowing views 🤯 Amenities include: an awesome trail right next to the property going down to Pinhão and up the mountain to Provesende, a gorgeous little village just over the ridge. Mini bar with welcome drinks, In-room sound system to set the vibe off right, beautiful Portuguese marble shower with towel heaters, very effective heating/cooling, and a very comfortable bed. 10/10. Casa Do Arco is a little slice of paradise.

Amazing location with uninterrupted views. Food is delicious and the service professional and friendly. This was our second visit for lunch. First time was in 2022. They do wine tours too, which we highly recommend! Owners are locals. Very knowledgeable and proud of the area, which shows in the care they put into everything.

The food was phenomenal. The service amazing. Antonia our server was amazing. We had the bread and butter with olive oil and a Kim chee butter. Wow. We also had a smoked sausage with raw egg yolk and mushroom consume. The entrees were codfish over a chick pea puree. Everything was fabulous. Antonio reccomended a nice local wine which paired perfectly with our meal. Can’t say enough good things about the food and experience.

A truly exceptional experience in every aspect. The team is thoughtful, intentional, and helpful in creating the best possible Douro experience. From the welcome, to dinner, to our departure everything was ideal.

Loved this B&B! We can speak highly enough of the location, view, and service. We went with Marco on a Douro Exclusive tour of wineries, which was outstanding, and we had dinner at the hotel one evening, also traffic. Can't wait to visit again.

Luxurious! Loved everything about staying here. The room was gorgeous, the bed comfortable with lovely sheets! Views were amazing!! Staff were so lovely. Breakfast was delicious. Location stunning! Highly recommend
