Absolutely wonderful! Staying here was the highlight of our holiday. The house was amazing with outstanding views over the river Douro. A gorgeous garden and swimming pool and wonderful staff who made the holiday extra special.
A highlight of our stay were the dinners served each evening in the garden
around the large table.
Thank you, we would love to visit again in the future

A tranquil rustic location. The accommodation is on the first floor via the exterior stone steps( 2 flight's).
The venue has 4-6 rooms upstairs , a communal kitchen & two bathrooms ( shared ) with modern facilities.
The building is a conversion from a former agricultural facility & the original ( historical, now disused) equipment is there to see & it's quite the curiosity. The place has a very homely feeling to it .There is a comfortable communal sitting room with a terrace to relax & enjoy the iconic views of a very traditional location.
The kitchen is also communal, it has all the equipment you want and is set in a light ,airy environment that has also retained the original traditional fireplace ( vast ) & the wood burning oven.
There are free laundry facilities on site and these are efficient, though drying is outside & not a machine.
The hosts couldn't be more welcoming & helpful.
You are made to feel more than a guest.
The local town is ten minutes away in a car via country road, almost single track ; challenging for a motorcycle in the dark on first attempt .
If your are looking for relaxation, tranquility & a warm welcome with a homely atmosphere this is your best option.
Btw...a small ancient historic church with a helpful curator & Visigoth stone inscriptions is only a 5 minute walk away.
The top choice for people wanting to get away from noise and fast-paced city life. Country houses are private homes based in the peaceful countryside, with communal facilities and meals available. Activities to unwind can be included too, such as trekking, birdwatching and cycling.
Beautiful common areas, easy access to the pool.
Very good breakfast and a comfy bed.
The overall style of the hotel is great.
Location was near the highway, but secluded, meaning good access but still in a quiet area.
This is a beautiful house overlooking a forested valley, along a quiet road. The setting could not be nicer for a relaxing place to hang out. Only viable to stay here if you have a rented car, it is down a steep hill from the main highway, far from a large town, and has no grocery store or restaurant within 40 minutes of walking. The garage for a vehicle is small, so would be difficult to park anything larger than an economy-sized car. The host was great, we had no problem checking in. I would definitely stay here again.
We liked everything about it!! The staff was super nice and welcoming, they were even delivering fresh homemade bread in the morning at our door!! The property was unique and so peaceful and charming! There were 2 pools, a path near the river, we could buy their grown products from their garden, honey from their hives, eggs from their hens... We highly recommend! We would have stayed longer but has to continue our trip.
Check in is in the cafe underneath. The lady was nice and we managed despite the language differences. The rooms are a little tired but comfortable enough and with plenty of beds. 2 out of the 3 rooms booked had 3 beds in. No hairdryer in the rooms. Very central and despite there being some sort of celebration going on the room was quiet.
The location is beautiful and so peaceful. We stayed in a spacious and well-equipped self-catering stone casa. The grounds are extensive and very well maintained. The swimming pool is superb and so quiet and relaxing. The maps provided to us when we checked in were brilliant - we were able to explore the Douro and the Parque Natural do Alvão by car, as well take the riverside walk into the town of Vila Real. We self catered, but we made good use of the "Honesty Shop" at reception for local produce.
Away from the town so beautiful and quiet long tree lined drive well lit for return in the dark. Accommodation was in a word luxury! The owners are very friendly and speak good English which is helpful nothing too much trouble. Brilliant thanks so much
This was by far the most fantastic house I have stayed in Portugal. It had such a cute vibe to it. The decoration, the cleanliness and warming appearance made our trip so much better. The owner of this beautiful house was extremely welcoming and very kind to me and my family and she made us feel so special. Thank you Eva for recommending us great places to eat out and local attractions to visit. Location is quiet and so peaceful. Loved everything about this trip. We will definitely want to come back some day soooon!!!! 🤗
