Spacious well equipped property with stunning views
This is a very spacious property with a pool overlooking The Douro River. The kitchen is well equipped and LuĂs, the host, and family were helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Thoroughly recommended!
We had a lovely stay in this huge house . Stunning views and in a good position for the village and a few restaurants. Well kitted out huge kitchen . The family were very nice and saw us into the house and were quick to reply to any requests for help . However the garden furniture needs updating as mentioned in previous reviews as do some of the beds . Two of the doubles were uncomfortably hard.
We felt very lucky to have found your lovely farmhouse. The old olive press was very interesting. The house was huge, comfortable, the hosts were very welcoming and the location was perfect for us. It was close enough to Porto, Pinhao, GuimarĂŁes, and on a beautiful bend of the Douro River. Thank you so much!
Sehr schönes Haus am Berg mit Blick auf den Douro
Ideales Haus fĂŒr groĂe Familien oder kleine Gruppen. Riesig ist der Aufenthaltsraum und die ehemalige professionelle KĂŒche. Manches ist in die Jahre gekommen... .Die Warmwasserversorgung ist mal zu optimieren.
Had a lovey stay in this beautiful villa which had so much space and the most amazing views over the river. Pictures on site do not do home justice.
Able to drive into Porto easily and was also advised that a bus runs hourly from bottom of road to Porto. Came back feeling refreshed and relaxed. Thanks for 'sharing' this home Luis!
As others have said, the photographs do not do this wonderful property justice. This is a very large house on large very private grounds. The views from the pool area and the house over the river Douro are spectacular and really do take your breath away. Luis is a fantastic host, who was there to meet us on check in with his lovely family. He gave us a tour of the house and explained everything. We had an issue with air con while there which was quickly dealt with and communication throughout our stay was very good, always on hand to answer questions and help with local information. The house itself is very well equipped and spacious. We had a fantastic time and would love to return sometime.
Luis was very helpful meeting us at the villa and giving us some local tips. Stunning view - we never tired of looking over the river. Property is much more spacious than it appears in the photos & very comfortable. A minor point but the outdoor furniture could do with a refresh, The house was clean and well cared for. It was great to have such a well equipped large kitchen with 2 ovens, would be perfect for a large group, Kids loved the pool so we spent most of the time at the villa & really enjoyed the outdoor space & drinks on the upper balcony. Itâs not a particularly touristy area but we liked that, plus we had combined with a few days in nearby Porto first so were ready to relax. We did go to a local restaurant a couple of times and hired a big paddleboard at the river beach, Luis recommended a vineyard to us but we didnât manage to visit, although we tried the wine which was lovely! Overall a great stay for a very reasonable price.
The house is in the most stunning location - better than the photos! Itâs extremely spacious and pretty well equipped. Itâs not the most modern and there are a few elements that could be updated, but thatâs reflected in the price that you pay. The owner was really helpful and communicative, and shared suggestions for the local area. Would recommend!
Friends of ours rented this wonderful house about one year ago and that is when it caught my eye. We actually planned part of our trip around the house. It is about a half hour drive from Porto and about an hour and a half to Douro Valley. We made day trips to both areas no problem. Our arrival came after a busy and full day in Porto and we all just sighed in relief as we drove into the driveway. The house has a spectacular view of a bend in the Douro River. Watching it change from evening to night to morning was great. We all wished we hadnât been so busy and could have spent more time relaxing there. We cooked in the well-supplied kitchen two out of three nights mostly so we could eat outside in peace and enjoy the view. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We had a couple of issues we had to deal with but AntĂłnio was right on it and nothing was a big deal. I know some people want everything to be perfect but seriously the view makes up for any issues that may come up. Hope to stay again!!
