Secret Code below!
Newly renovated, Casinha Portuguesa offers two cosy bedrooms, each with its own small private bathroom and Juliette balcony boasting views of the historic city centre, situated on the 1st and 2nd floors, respectively.
Guests can also enjoy a cosy living room on the ground floor and a pleasant kitchen on the 3rd floor. However, the real gem awaits you on the rooftop terrace, offering stunning panoramic vistas of the Douro River! You'll find yourself wanting to spend most of your time soaking in the breathtaking views from up there!
While ideal for two couples or a small group, please note it may not be suitable for individuals with reduced mobility or young children. We really, really appreciate that you read the whole listing. Please put the code "Douro Sweet" at the top of your message so we know you did so, as such bookings tend to be a more fulfilling experience :-)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Do I need to bring towels or linens? What about a hairdryer or iron?
A: Nope! We provide all these things.
Q: Is the place professionally cleaned between guests?
A: Yes, and we take pride in providing a spotless home for guests. Take a look at our reviews—I think you'll find our guests agree!
Q: Can I do check-in earlier?
A: If no guests are checking out the same day as you arrive, we usually can allow for early check-in as long as we have advance notice. Likewise, if your arrival is on the same day as a check-out, we are unable to confirm in advance, as we might need every second we have to prepare the place. Either way, we will let you know as soon it is ready for check-in!
Q: How will I receive the key?
A: The house features a lockbox. This allows for effortless self-check-in, for which instructions are provided 1 day before.

About the host
Hosted by Jose Pinheiro
Olá, I’m José! A Douro-born guy now living in Warsaw. With the help of my mother, a local artist that has lived her entire life in Douro, I want to share with you an unique experience that I was never able to replicate in any of my travels: the comfort and convenience of a cherisched home, while the beautiful decor tells you the story of the region and its traditions :-) The region we love and want to share with you? The oldest demarcated wine region in the World (and probably the most beautiful), where some of the best wines in the world are produced, including the famous Port. We will share with you tips and secrets that only locals know, to make sure you have the best experience! Looking forward to host you!
