In Concela, Marco de Canavezes, housing with margin for the Douro River

Such a magical place to stay! We spent 11 days at Adalberto and Paula’s place and enjoyed every second there. The view of the river is gorgeous, the pool is top quality. The grounds are splendid and the home tastefully appointed. Adalberto and Paula met us and walked us through what we needed to know about the home and then returned mid visit to check up on us and clean the home during our stay. The kitchen is well appointed for those who like to cook, as we do. The location allowed us to explore the lovely Douro Valley and hike, kayak and wine taste. The village 25 min away is perfect for supplies. There are mosquitos at night and no screens so we relied on A/C and closed up the home in the evening. And if you bring more than two to stay there is a substantial guest fee for this two bedroom. Our only note of caution! A relaxing and calming place to enjoy rural Portugal. Delightful and memorable stay.

Our family had the most wonderful 10 days at Adalberto’s beautiful house in the Douro Valley. The location is truly stunning and the house provided everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday. Adalberto is the most welcoming of hosts, he was there on our arrival to explain everything we needed to know, and telephoned during our stay to check that we were ok. We would thoroughly recommend the house to anyone, which enabled us to completely de-stress and provided a fantastic base to explore the area. We would love to come back some day.

We had a fantastic holiday at Adalberto's lovely house on the Douro. The house nestles into the hillside almost hidden from the river, with restored terraces above and below. The house was clean and well equiped. We swam and kayaked in the river, it surpassed any pool I have been in. In the evening the river often became still and you could see fish feeding, herons on the bank and then bats flitting around the trees. Adalberto was a very attentive host and phoned several times to ensure that we were comfortable. The house is about 20 minutes from Marco de Canaveses, from where you can catch trains to Porto or up to the port producing regions of the upper Douro.

Beautifully located house on the Douro river. House is comfortable and offers everything you need. Owner (and architect) of the house welcomed us in person, and made us feel at home right away. We will definitely come back.

We spent some wonderful days at Adalberto‘s house. It really is a unique place we immediately felt in love with. Moreover, the architecture of this house is very sophisticated. Adalberto is a great host, very friendly and to get in touch with him was always easy and valuable. We‘ll be back for sure.
