We started our Casa experience with a rescue by Manuel and his son after our car broke down. They were so kind to pick us up, two very tired and lost Canadians. We arrived at the beautiful Casa da Azenha to be greeted by Anita,our gracious hostess, who offered us tea and cake. Highlights of our stay included: delightful and... More

My husband and I recently spent three nights at Casa da Azenha and it was one of the highlights of our tour of Portugal. Manuel and Anita could not have been kinder or more generous, sharing excellent advice for exploring the area, giving tours of their beautifully maintained property and creating a warm, elegant environment in which to relax. Manuel... More

We recently spent 1 night here on a brief taster visit to the upper Douro valley. It was perfect. Manuel is a gracious and attentive host who is justifiably proud of Casa de Azenha and its wonderful history. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. Breakfast (included) was superb - in our case taken in the house's lovely dining room as... More

The Douro Valley has a certain magic, but staying at the Casa da Azenha added grace and tranquility to our early September visit to this fantastic area. Our host and master of the manor, Manuel, provided just the right mix of gracious attention and respect for privacy. He patiently endured our use of Spanish to communicate, while telling us in...

With only the name of this place and no booking, we met a lot of helpful Portuguese police, bar-tenders, workmen and cafe-sipping gents with even worse geographical sense than ourselves before finding Casa da Azenha - but it proved worth every turn in the road. Despite having travelled on four or five continents, we rarely ever contribute to these sites... More

What can we add to the overwhelmingly excellent ratings for this property other than to fully agree with them. It is a simply beautiful property, so full of character and with a wonderful atmosphere of calm and serenity. The location is ideal for visiting the Douro Valley as it is in a beautifully peaceful spot but very close to the... More

I wish I had the life of proprietors Manuel and Anita, who (lucky them!) live on the property. The Casa has been in Manuel’s family since 1640 and it’s full of historical charm with a laid-back vibe. We stayed for three days/two nights in the No. 1 room on their website. Wi-fi was a bit spotty and there’s no TV... More

The Casa Azenha is the perfect guest house to stay in Douro valley. it is perfectly located: 3 min. drive from Peso da Regua with restaurants and marina, 5/7 min. to the beautiful city for Lamego and only 15/20 min. drive to Pinhão, heart of the Douro valley. The Casa Azenha is at least 200 years old and it is... More
