Quinta Fontelas - Louredo

This villa is truly a gem. The photographs do not do it justice. Although architecturally modern, there is a charm and warmth that comes through when you see the care that has been taken to provide security, privacy and comfort for guests. We were a group of older adults, so enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. The villa is about 35-45 minutes drive from Porto and many other towns. Day trips out into the region were easy to manage with the help of the GPS and well-marked motorways. The owner, Chantal, and her family looked after our every need, even as our needs changed from earlier plans. They made valuable suggestions for sightseeing and dining in the area and also arranged for a local car and driver/guide so that we could relax and enjoy the day. The solar-powered cruise on the Douro River was a highlight. We may not have known about this option if Chantal had not suggested it and bought the tickets for us.Thank you Chantal, Dylan and your team. Your kindness and attention ensured that our holiday was as close to perfect as is possible. We will definitely recommend Quinta Fontelas to our family and friends and take with us fantastic memories of our stay with you.

Amazing Villa, well designed absolute luxury. Very friendly host.

What an incredible place! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away – the photos simply don’t do it justice. The villa exceeded every expectation we had. It was immaculate, beautifully presented, and equipped with everything we could possibly need… and more.The surrounding grounds were absolutely stunning – peaceful, picturesque, and meticulously maintained. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise.Chantel and her family were wonderful hosts – warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They stayed in touch throughout our stay, checking in to make sure we were comfortable and offering fantastic local tips on things to see and do.We couldn't have asked for a better experience. This villa is a real gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this amazing place. The host was very attentive and informative both prior and during our stay. The house, garden and swimming pool exceeded our expectations. There were everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The property is well kept and looked after.

We had very high expectations for the stay at the house, as we received many good recommendations from our friends and we have to admit that the house and stay exceeded our expectations! Both the value for money and hospitality of Chantal and her family was amazing! We can most definitely recommend the house to anyone else and we hope to return again in the future.

I’d give this villa more stars if there was an option to. We had a fabulous stay, the owners could not do enough for us.everything was quality and it’s so well equipped. We had a lovely stay. It’s 30mins from Porto and you definitely need a car. Nearest bakery is 5 mins away by car but if you want a relaxing holiday in a great location then you need to book a stay her.

This place was incredible, we were sold on it by the photos but upon arrival we realised that it was so much better than we'd thought, Chantal was the perfect host and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We would definitely come back in the future.

We spent a week at Chantal’s wonderful ’’ resort’’. This is not your ordinary VRBO rental, Chantal (and family) are professionals at running a rental home. The kitchen if fully equipped with all you need, nothing has been forgotten. Nespresso machine, Nescafe machine, raclette machine. The bathrooms are stocked like a hotel room, we feel more like we are in a resort instead of a private rental. This huge house is even nicer than the pictures on VRBO, we toured the house with Chantal and I think we said WOW 20 times. This is a gated house so your car or whatever you are driving is completely safe. If you are looking for a relaxed place not too far from Porto and the Douro valley you can stop looking, this is the place. We were there for a motorcycle riding week and the area did not disappoint. Chantal gave us many, many recommendations for restaurants, road trip adventures and places to visit. Merci Chantal.

Great house. Central location for northern Portugal

The hospitality of then owner just exceed normal standards. House was excellent and location near Porto (30 min) was just perfect.

Chic, modern villa set in stunning grounds. Chantal our hostess, was very helpful and responsive. Really well-appointed kitchen. We’ll certainly return.
