Phenomenal home in the Douro Valley with an even more phenomenal property mgr, Elisabete! She made our visit exceptionally lovely and even prepared a meal for the 10 of us upon our arrival. Her dog, Poli was an added bonus, who would come visit us each day. I wanted to bring him home with me, he was so sweet! The photos don’t do this property justice; it was much more beautiful than we expected. Highly recommend! ##### Tonya K.
