About Canhoto Douro

A farm rooted in the Douro Valley



Sandra Madeira is the heart of the Madeira Rocha family. An engineer by profession and deeply passionate about nature, she has always believed in the strength of family and in the beauty of simple, genuine moments.
Family unity was essential in bringing the Canhoto Douro project to life. Along the way, the family faced many adventures, challenges and unforgettable moments before reaching their dream.
When you visit us, you will find tranquillity, serenity and a warm, cheerful atmosphere — all complemented by an excellent homemade breakfast, prepared with care and local products.



Homemade breakfasts, prepared with care and served at Canhoto Douro, in São Lourenço, Marco de Canaveses.

Because every morning deserves a special flavor.



Canhoto Douro was born from a family adventure that began in 2019.
The Madeira Rocha family fell in love with an old farm that was in ruins and embraced the challenge of transforming it, together, into a magical and welcoming place — for themselves, for their animals, and for everyone who wishes to visit.
Come and visit us, and enjoy a few days surrounded by nature, tranquillity and authenticity.
