Casa das Torres de Oliveira  

On a sun-drenched slope in Mesão Frio, in Portugal’s Douro Valley — a wine-country guesthouse minutes from Peso da Régua. Close to Dourocaves Winery, Alameda dos Capitães Park and the Douro Museum, it’s ideal for vineyard hopping and scenic walks.

A remarkable 18th-century mansion converted into a six-room guesthouse, with individually decorated guestrooms, romantic gardens and a private chapel. Set across 30 hectares of vines producing port and table wines (Consensual and Sedinhas), the property mixes historic interiors and art-filled living rooms with big valley views and long walking paths.

Standout features include an attached winery with tasting opportunities, a seasonal outdoor pool, lush leisure gardens and outdoor relaxation areas. There’s an on-site bar and free self-parking — perfect for lazy, vine-scented mornings and sunset strolls through the estate.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and staff speak English and Spanish. Free on-site parking makes arrivals and day trips easy.

Sip estate wines — port and regional table wines — and join on-site wine tastings at the property’s winery; a bar is available for evening drinks. Mesão Frio and nearby Peso da Régua offer local restaurants serving authentic Douro flavors.
