Douro Mountain House with spetacular vews

This place is perfect!Seriously beautiful. Surrounded by mountains and peace and quiet, you can't help but relax.We alternated between days of exploring beautiful places, full of history (recommended by José), and days of staying in and enjoying the pool and the loungers.I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing break somewhere, away from noise, distraction, stress, people or being busy.José, the host, is a lovely bloke and balances always being available and helpful with also being discreet and leaving you alone when you're just doing your own thing.Oh, and that window!! With that view!! Wow! Easily one of my best ever holidays!! Thank you, José.

Fantastic mountain house, set in a very rural area. Ideal location for a relaxing holiday for 2 people.The host Jose was very helpfull and knowledgable of the area, with a lot of local recommendation's. We had a great 3 weeks here and would highly recommend.Thank you Jose for all your help and interesting stories, all the best, Cliff & Nicole x

Peace and quiet on a hillside with birdsong and wildlife. This is a beautiful property with the most wonderful view and hospitable host. Absolute relaxation. We will definitely return.

This house is an absolute gem and the owner José is the perfect host. It was exceptional in every way and from the moment we arrived we felt relaxed. The photos, though accurate, really do not do it justice. We cooked every day and the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of worktop space for preparing food. There is a Lidl and a E.Leclerc hypermarket a short drive away. The views are spectacular and the gardens lovely, lots of space and plenty of privacy. We loved it so much that after the first day’s beautiful train ride following the Douro river, we spent the remaining days at the house, sitting by the pool or eating on the terrace, enjoying the views and the peace and quiet. We wished we had been able to stay longer and really hope to return. Thank you José, you have created a very special place.

We had a week st this property. The kitchen is quite basic with a four ring cooker and a microwave, We soon realised that it was best to take advantage of the super restaurants in the area! The location is excellent for exploring and the owners suggestions of where to go were welll received. I was nervous about our car being able to manage the steep road up and down but no issues arose. The garden area was super to relax in

José is a very nice man. He made sure that we had a pleasant stay!

Jose was very welcoming and the property was very comfortable. Jose gave us lots of good advice about restaurants and places to visit. The kitchen is basic but there are so many good and inexpensive places to eat out that that didn’t really matter.

We loved our stay! The views of the surrounding region are stunning. The owner meets you nearby to guide you to the property which is helpful- but note this is not a location with lockbox access in case you’re arriving at odd hours or find that uncomfortable . He gave us great suggestions for the nearby area which we loved! Note- there are no soaps provided aside from hand soaps so be sure to pack everything you need. If you’re looking for a secluded, rustic stay in the countryside, this is the place for you!

The owneris a very pleasant man. He was very helpfull and we had a pleasant stay.

Jose was warm, welcoming and attentive. Just sitting inside this 17th/18th century cottage, looking out the large bay window over the mountainside, it is hard to believe that it isn't an ever-changing painting of beauty. From sunrise to moon-rise, the view is stunning. We loved sitting by the pool and soaking in the sun and silence. We feel so luck to have stayed here for 3 days; it was quite the retreat and will always be remembered. Only word of caution is the drive is a bit treacherous, but so worth the journey! Enjoy!
