The family atmosphere is wonderful. The staff are the owners and they really make you feel welcome. The room was immaculate and beautifully designed, the pool area was small but very comfortable, and the son of the owners is so helpful. He gave us excellent advice. It’s about a 15 minute drive up from or down to Pinhao but the drive itself is spectacular. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful property and beautiful family. The private tour of the local sites and Duoro valley river are a must - it’s a more personalized and intimate experience than those big group tours. Worth every penny. Even more, they accommodate to special requests. With the help and coordination of the family (Edu in particular), I successfully proposed to my longtime girlfriend. This place will always hold a special place for me. I look forward to returning.

A fantastic place. Friendly and helpful staff/owners. A beautiful, modern guesthouse that blends in well with the historic surroundings. As with other accommodation of this type, you should do your shopping on the way if you plan to stay in a room with kitchen facilities (the family room). There are no supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. Take a short walk up the road both opposite and next to the guesthouse. The views are magnificent in both directions. We’ll definitely be back!

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. One of the things I enjoyed most was its location among the vineyards. Stepping outside and walking through the surrounding area offered beautiful views of the Douro landscape and made for a truly relaxing experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The food was also excellent. Everything exceeded my expectations. If I could give this hotel 8 stars out of 5, I would. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Douro Valley.

My only regret is not staying longer. Everything about our stay was perfect. The owners are wonderful! We drove in from across Spain, and we were ready to unwind after a long journey; they made us feel at home - we loved it. This stay, albeit short, was one of the highlights of our trip. Dinner was great! Definitely planning on returning.

Nestled in the heart of the Duoro Valley, we had a wonderful stay at Casa Dona Edite and were blown away by the kindness and hospitality of the family that runs this place. They made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. The views of the Douro Valley vineyards and hills were stunning, and we especially loved the family-style dinners, where we met so many interesting people. Breakfast was excellent, with delicious homemade offerings each morning. The amenities were modern and spotless, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool and spending time with the friendly family dog. The family-made 25 year old port wine was also fantastic and a highlight of our stay. Transfers to and from Pinhão were easy and convenient. Casa Dona Edite offers a warm, authentic Douro Valley experience, and we would happily return. Thank you for the lovely stay!
