Authenticity

The family-owned Casa de São Domingos exudes local charm and character, and you'll feel more like you're staying at the country home of friends than at a small boutique hotel. You'll be greeted warmly upon arrival, and if you're lucky, you might even get a visit from the family cat. Locally inspired decor and antiques give the interiors an authentic, homely feel, and the complimentary breakfast offers a perfect start to a day of Douro Valley explorations.

Location

Nestled just outside Peso da Régua, the property is within easy reach of town while feeling removed from the center. It's a 15-minute walk to the bustling riverfront street, José Vasques Osório, lined with enticing restaurants and local shops. Bear in mind that the walk back to the hotel is uphill along a major road, so portions lack a sidewalk and can feel a bit highway-like. The location is ideal for exploring the valley's wineries by car, and local highlights like the Douro Museum and Peso da Régua parish church are just a few minute's drive away. There's also free on-site parking, though spaces are limited.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Each of the 11 rooms at Casa de São Domingos is unique, furnished elegantly with wood floors, woven rugs, and antique bedframes and wardrobes. Bathrooms are spacious and well-equipped, with walk-in showers and Portuguese-style tilework. Many rooms offer views over the countryside toward the river, and some feature balconies or terraces (though they're separated by a short partition and you might occasionally see and hear your neighbors). Larger groups and families can opt for the Triple Room, which includes a queen and twin bed. All rooms include WiFi, tea and coffee-making trays, and air-conditioning. 

Amenities

An outdoor saltwater pool forms a centerpiece of the property, surrounded by lovingly tended gardens and grounds. Indoors, there's a cozy shared lounge complete with plush sofas and low lighting, perfect for socializing with your hosts and other guests or enjoying a quiet moment with a book. A complimentary breakfast is served downstairs each morning, with continental buffet options and cooked dishes upon request.
