Quinta das Tílias Douro Valley / 100% Privacy / Rio Douro / Free WiFi / 10Adult

This place is amazing, as is the host. Beautiful view, great amenities, we were able to wash clothes and cook meals. Paradise.

First of all the view is as stunning as on the photos and Marcos is a fantastic host.The house is a good location overlooking the river between Porto (1h10mins) and the central wine region (1h45mins). Hiring a car from the airport and driving around Porto and region was all very easy and the autoroutes are amongst the best in the world.Unfortunately, we were very unlucky with rubbish weather at the end of October so the unheated pool wasn't used, which was a shame.We did have a bit of confusion around the bed arrangements and Marcos has been made aware of listing issues. If not updated there are 3 bedrooms, all of which had a double bed and single futon and one also had a bunk bed (so suitable for a family of 5). There is also a sofa bed in the lounge.Its a stunning house and location. I actually think Marcos could charge a lot more money with a few relatively small improvements. 1) Upgrade and standardise bed sheets and kitchenware so its bit less of a mish mash and a bit more luxury, 2) Replace the TV with a smart TV for access to netflix etc..., especially as the wifi is excellent 3) Provide a few more cooking and cleaning essentials and maybe a bottle of local wine on arrival. We bought and left a lot behind but i think that the previous guests possibly cleared everything out.It was a wonderful stay, despite being very unlucky with the weather and hopefully these bits are helpfull to adding more value to your property in the future. Thank you Macos!

The garden with pool is lovely and many great outdoor spaces. The house is a combination of rustic and modern. Older part of house has charm whereas the new areas have large windows, and remodeled bathrooms. Marcos did a fantastic job communicating with us and gave outstanding info on stores, restaurants and activities. A car is required and about an hour away from the beginning of the Douro valley wine region.

Stunning views and great location. Beautiful home and grounds. Lots of nearby restaurants and a Super Mercado. Marcos was a great host. Very good communication, and his welcome information package was very useful and detailed. The home was well equipped and although there were only 4 of us, it obviously can handle large groups. Thank you Marcos!

There are no houses visible on this side of the river. The view to the other side is incredible. The location is quiet and peaceful. The owner was very accommodating and any of our needs were met quickly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautify place to stay in the valley.

We really enjoyed the stay, the views were stunning and Marcos was a wonderful host. His suggestions on place to see and eat were terrific.

Amazing view and lovely quiet area. We found a couple of local restaurants with delicious home cooked food and really cheap! Lovely local boat trips, we went twice. Marcos was really good at communicating and the property is big and well equipped.

Wonderful property with incredible views. Manuela was so very helpful and happy to show the house. I could easily have slept in the living just for it's views. Maybe next time.

We really loved the deck overlooking the river. Nice fresh air and a great place to hang with friends. We took lots of day trips from here and Marcos was great about sharing restaurant ideaa with us. Would stay again.

Truly exceptional owner and property. Comes as advertised, pictures do not do this place justice. Host was so responsive and organized. Went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our stay. This is an example of how a VRBO should be run. We hope to come back again for a longer stay! Thanks for sharing with us, we sincerely apprrciated your hospitality and the experience.

We had a wonderful stay at the Douro villa. Marcos was a wonderful host, very helpful and quick to communicate if we had any. Highly recommend this location.
