Our sanctuary in the Douro Valley - Casa Do Visconde De Chanceleiros

We've stayed in some lovely hotels in Napa and the Amalfi coast, and although this wasn't a five star resort and didn't have a spa, it was absolutely lovely.  The setting could not have been more majestic.  It really allowed you to slow down and take in the wonderful setting.  I wanted to share some of the beautiful shots of the grounds.

The second level had a sitting area and deck

The well fed bulldog was the owners, an esentric German woman, who was as easy going as the atmosphere.
