Casas do Juizo - Country Houses

My husband and I and two other couples spent a night at Casas do Juizo while on a self guided cycling tour through the historic villages and Douro Valley. This stay was the absolute highlight of our journey, however don’t misunderstand as there were many great experiences and accommodations on our adventure. The wonder of this Casa is well documented in other reviews, but I can’t help but reiterate all the amazingness. Casa do Juizo is indeed a very special place, situated in the picturesque small village of Juizo in the Côa valley. The tiny stone houses of the village and its narrow street are beautifully preserved and one quite literally feels lost in time. The suites or houses of the property are quite honestly beyond words and so rich in history. If only the rooms could tell their story!!! They are each very unique, spacious, beautifully restored and decorated. The combination of traditional features and decor balanced with all the modern comforts create a most magical setting. If anything could top the charm and wonder of the houses themselves it would be the incredible genuine hospitality of Andre and Daniela. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. An efficient check in was followed by a delicious drink of fig liquor and then we were each shown to our houses. Andre offered us a basket of wine glasses with our wine purchase and we sat in the beautiful glassed area to wait out a rain shower. The fresh fragrance of the rain and the rainbow just added to our fairy tale. Andre and Daniela run the beautiful tavern called Taberna do Juiz, just around the corner and we enjoyed a delicious dinner there. The atmosphere, intimate and warm and the food and wine were absolutely delicious. Andre and Daniela sat and spent their evening with us after our meal and their company was a gift! We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast the next morning before departure. The pride and attention to detail is obvious in every aspect of the experience, from the clean rooms, to the delicious food and it’s presentation and especially the calm kind presence of this team. Their humble efforts and hard work is commendable and we wish them every success. If you don’t stay here when exploring this beautiful piece of Portugal you are truly missing out. We hope to return one day for more magic!

We were booked in here by Headwater for one night on our cycling holiday. As we rode into the village we were warmly greeted by Andre (he and his delightful wife Daniela manage the accommodation and own the associated taberna further into the village). Andre and Daniela do not normally open the taberna at lunchtime but, to our delight and amazement they organised, witin 30 minutes, a feast of ham, cheese, figs, grapes, tomatoes, fruits, breads etc. A wonderful surprise. Dinner in the taberna that evening was utterly delicious - Daniela is a superb cook. And breakfast next morning, a huge basket of delicious goodies delivered to the door of our accommodation, was sensational. The accommodation itself is huge and suited our needs perfectly. Andre and Daniela are real stars - they were great company, and they clearly take enormous pride in providing great hospitality, And they work so hard to look after the whole complex and run their taberna. if you are thinking of staying in this area of Portugal, you absolutely must try to stay here - it was a wonderful experience for us and our two friends.

We had an equally amazing experience as Tom71 on our cycling holiday. We would never have stumbled across this little rural paradise without our cycling tour operator, but are so happy they booked us here. The ride to Juizo from Castello Rodrigo through the Coa Valley was just gorgeous the hospitality of Daniela and André at Casas do Juizo refreshing. The dinner and breakfast picnic baskets Taverna do Juiz prepared were fresh and plentiful even for hungry bikers. We appreciated the re-usable glass jars for serving and no plastic. There would have been plenty of food for four with more than enough to pack a picnic lunch from the leftovers. Thank you Daniela and André for the lovely souvenir.

Recomendo mesmo muito as Casas do Juízo! Há um ano fomos muito bem recebidos nas pela Mónica nas Casas do Juízo, éramos 3 (com mais um no forno). Este ano voltámos os 4 e convidámos os avós para conhecerem também este maravilhoso cantinho que tão bem nos recebeu. Desta vez ficámos 4 noites na Casa da Roseira (T3) e ficaríamos mais se possível.. As Casas são amorosas e muito confortáveis, independentemente da temperatura que faça lá fora. A Casa da Roseira até tem um espaço exterior coberto, perfeito para relaxar e entreter (e conter) os mais pequenos com segurança e uma temperatura agradável. A Mónica é um amor de pessoa, muito simpática e generosa, ainda deu uns colinhos ao mais novo e levou o mais velho a passear e conhecer os animais que fazem parte da família. Dissemos que voltávamos e voltámos! E um dia regressaremos. Obrigada por estes dias tão bons.

Anfitriã extremamente simpática. Recebeu-nos com um licor feito pela própria. O alojamento muito limpo, camas confortáveis, cozinha bem equipada e um bolo à nossa espera! Muito agradável! É para recomendar e voltar. Ótimo fim de semana

A estadia nas casas do juízo foi simplesmente fantástica. Desde a atmosfera acolhedora até à hospitalidade excepcional dos anfitriões, tudo superou as minhas expectativas. As acomodações eram confortáveis e bem equipadas, proporcionando uma estadia relaxante e memorável. Mal posso esperar para voltar

Local calmo e tranquilo. Casas muito bem recuperadas com todo conforto. Beleza exterior e contato com animais da quinta. O pequeno almoço é divinal. A anfitriã Cláudia é de uma simpatia única. Teve o cuidado de mostrar a área exterior de toda quinta e os animais.

Estivemos hospedados nas Casas do Juizo durante um final de semana. Ficamos apaixonados pelo lugar. Fomos muito bem recebidos. O local é de muita paz e super aconchegante. Tudo de muito bom gosto! A Mônica foi muito simpática do início ao fim de nossa estadia. Para quem quer sossego é um excelente lugar!

Foi tão bom!! A anfitriã é uma simpatia, sempre prestável e ainda tivemos direito a uns miminhos! A casinha tinha tudo o precisávamos, as casas foram um aproveitamento bem conseguido dos vários edifícios daquele terreno e a piscina, com possibilidade de ser aberta ou coberta, também é muito agradável e tem um espaço com espreguiçadeiras no exterior para se poder secar ao sol :) O local é de um sossego total, um céu estrelado fantástico e a aldeia do Juízo é muito bonita, tão pequenina como cuidada, com os seus cães e gatos bem dóceis.. encantadora :)
