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!
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.
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.
Nestled in the vineyards and olive trees with views over the valley. Spacious rooms, meticulously and tastefully decorated with attention to the small things down to fresh oranges, yummy cookies and port in the room. Super comfy beds. Very welcoming and cozy. Dinner was superb and presented beautifully. Thanks to Cristiano who was always available to ensure our stay was perfect which truly was the highlight of a three week vacation in Portugal.
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!
We had an amazing stay, the Quinta is very special. The rooms and property is so so special and the views just stunning. The service was first class and the attention to detail with food, and room/hotel appointments just perfect. We had the set meal for our two nights which was just delicious. Couldn’t recommend Quinta do Bosque more highly!
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 AMAZING. It is on the hill overlooking the whole wine region and river. It is super nice decorated. The garden and swimming pool are taken care of. The breakfast is delicious and you overlook the whole wine region. The personal is super friendly and welcoming.
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!
Carlos with staff are incredible and always helped us feel right at home. Beds are incredibly comfortable which is not always the case at hotels in Portugal. Pool was amazing. Also. 1,5 min by car to the café in town and restaurants.
Probably my favorite stay in Portugal! Everything about this place was exceptional! Great location, THE BEST views of Douro Valley, courteous staff, delicious breakfast delivered right to the door... What else can you ask for?! 😊
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.
Unbelievable location. The view is breathtaking. We woke up in a dream every morning. Make sure to plan plenty of time to just relax at the hotel. They have wine and light bites available.
We liked everything, the room, the hotel design & décor, cleaning, breakfast, location, the owners advise, help and warm welcoming and the staff, AC response.
