Every detail of this property is perfect. So many small details that you don’t usually find. The room was immaculate, the view stunning, and the food exceeded all expectations.
Located in Mesão Frio, a 35-minute drive from Lamego, Imaginário d´El Rei features a seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace.

We loved everything about the property.
From the moment we stepped away from the car and seeing Filip walking out of the house welcoming us to his home with a warm smile.
First time this happened to us in our 4 months of travelling through Europe and Morocco using hotels and Airbnbs.
Such a nice feeling of true hospitality compare to the
many un personal “lock box” properties we encountered in our travels.
To have this kind of hotel hospitality is something Airbnb will never achieve.
Filip helped us with our bags and invited us to his lobby where we were treated to a glass of smooth port produced by his neighbour.
The high mountain side location of the property is fantastic. It offers a 180 degrees view down on the Douro Valley with superb sunrises and sunsets.
We could see the river cruises flowing down the river.
The rooms were sparkling clean and the breakfast offered was mostly from the local food producers.
On top of all this Filip succeeded in getting us a restaurent reservation despite our late arrival.
This rural tourism property provides a relaxing and natural surroundings. Vila Marim Country Houses has a total of 13 renovated rustic homes and features access to a natural outdoor swimming pool.

Very clean and good value. We loved the fresh fruit, flowers and bread. The restaurant you recommended in town was very good and we could walk there (Tasso do Zequinha). While we were there we did a nice cruise to Pinhao from Regusa and took the train back. We also drove to Arouca 516 and did the suspension bridge. Amazing!
The location in Duro is breathtaking. Casa de Calinhas is perfect for staying one night. They recommend restaurants and wineries to visit. Idillic day. Village is very small and up windy roads in the mountain, but restaurant have delicious homemade cuisine.

The village of Mesao Frio was a long steep walk from our accommodation Imaginario d'El-Rei but was well worth it. We ate in the local family restaurant Atasca Do Zequinha which was run by a brother and sister. It was right at the top the hill and was almost like going into their own home. The food was excellent along with the local wines and you were made to feel part of the family. We enjoyed it so much that we returned again for our second night.

Mesao Frio is a small, quaint town in the Douro hills at the western end of Portuguese wine country. A small number of charming restaurants, nice people and vineyards abound. Great base for exploring the Upper Douro and Portugal's fantastic wine country.

Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number.
Almost impossible to find - no sign, no house number. When I entered, I thought I was going into someone's living room. Didn't look like an inn/B&B. The owner was smoking and the entire place smelled awful. His daughter was ironing. Very odd. Had to walk up flight of stairs with luggage. Breakfast was minimal, we had to wait for bread delivery. Bathroom was tiny and shower was too.
We stayed in 10 different places this trip and this was the most expensive and the worst of all of them. Very disappointed.
We spent over 2 hours trying to find this place. A elderly woman selling cherries by the roadside was finally able to get us there. It was Sunday and by the time we found place, no place was open for dinner. Grade of F.
Excellent locations, 5 minutes away from center of Mesão Frio and 15 minutes drive to Régua
The staff was very friendly, giving suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants
All Covid 19 measures in place
The room was beautiful with a superb view to the Douro River
We had our breakfast in front of the river at the porch of the room
Breakfast was very good quality with fresh bread, fresh juice and fresh bread. Also: fruit, yogurt and cereals… cake .. a lot of things
The pool was good
A gem perfect for a break from the City
We loved it here at Casa De Canilhas! Our room had a stunning view of the Duoro River, overlooking vineyards. Room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, the breakfast (delivered to our room) was very plentiful and delicious. This was one of our most favorite places in our 5 week road trip around Portugal!!
Simply lovely and perfect in every way!!! If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Portugal, I would absolutely stay here again!!!
Mr. Baradas, the host, is exceptionally kind. He helped us with our luggage, he gave us some valuable information from the Douro region and its Quintas. And he even gave us the option to choose between different rooms. The hotel is very well clean. It has a beautiful view, free/easy parking, and comfortable beds. We had an excellent stay there and a very good night of sleep. Thanks a lot for everything!
Every room has a fantastic view of the Douro River! The casa was a great base for us to explore the Douro region from. It is also a short walk from Mesão Frio, which has good options for cafes and dinner. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable, including having his English-speaking son on hand to make check-in easy. The daily breakfast was delicious!
This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Everyone working there is so friendly and the service is excellent. Breakfast a la carte, super affordable dinner options and the premises are an absolute dream. We had a birthday celebration and they were full of unexpected details and little extra tokens.
Plus: Becas, the house dog, is our new favorite dog!
The vineyard was located high on the hill near the village of Mesão Frio, with an open vista of the Douro Valley. The environment is tranquil and natural, surrounded by plantations and with a swimming pool to take dips in the hot summer weather. The owners/staff were fantastic, especially Senhor Carlos who was friendly, humble, and happy to help with anything.
We had an amazing stay. The room was large, with all facilities. The room, common areas and the whole property were spotless clean. Several outdoor spaces to rest and enjoy a glass of wine. Within a 10-15 minutes walk you are in the village of Mesao Frio with services and restaurants. The location is great to explore the Alto Douro Vinhateiro region
We had an enjoyable stay in lovely location. The hotel is charming and swimming pool is really nice. The breakfast and dinner (It is very reasonable for 3 course meal with coffee, a glass of port wine and a bottle of wine for us!) were so tasty. Dinner at the hotel is highly recommended!
The hotel is very well located and has an amazing view! The hosts are very friendly and also the breakfast was very delicious. We could use the pool and we enjoyed to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine with this incredible view. We can highly recommend this place!
Beautiful location with clean comfortable rooms and excellent staff. Our stay here was our favorite part of our trip to Portugal. Able to easily get to by car or train (REDE station close by) and town within 5 minute walking distance for essentials. Wonderful place!
The hotel is in a beautiful estate with a lovely view over the vineyard.
The old house is very nicely restored, and the room was large and comfortable.
The indoor and outdoor swimming pools are very good.
The staff was polite and attentive.
Wonderful stay. This was our favourite place to stay during our three week trip in Portugal. We wish we were able to stay longer. Peaceful and stunning views. Kind staff and comfortable rooms. Great food and wine. Lovely.
We absolutely LOVED everything about our stay. This hotel was such a welcoming and relaxing place to stay i. the Duoro Valley. The interior was impeccably designed, the views were stunning, and the food was delicious.
In over 45 years of International travel, this is the best hotel that we have ever stayed in!
Everything was exceptional and we will be back.
It is worth making a special trip from the UK just to stay there
We liked everything, the room, the hotel design & décor, cleaning, breakfast, location, the owners advise, help and warm welcoming and the staff, AC response.
The food and coziness. The bedroom was so comfortable and the hotel was very calming and relaxing. The views were spectacular and the staff were so amazing!
