We were here with my kids and mostly visited the local area in the mornings and lounged by/in the pool in the afternoons. The host was great with suggestions for trips.

However, the view is spectacular and made lounging by the large pool even more relaxing. The owner speaks English but there was a slight language barrier which dis result in a misunderstanding that marred the stay slightly. There are cafes, restaurants and supermarkets nearby that are very cheap so makes it worthwhile eating out regularly. ##### Cerys H. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin C. Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Duoro Views We stayed 3 nights and were looking for a place that was a bit off the 'beaten path' of most tourist locations. The Hosts were a delight and we totally loved all the oranges they delivered. The house itself is a centuries old stone home with modern touches. Outside spaces are lovely. It rained so we couldn't take advantage of them as we would have liked. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well appointed and Livingroom comfortable with a lovely fireplace. Will return ##### Kevin C.

Aug 23, 2013 #### A Perfect Stay Thank you Francisco for looking after us so wonderfully - especially your help with the car. A finer host is surely not to be found. A wonderful house and grounds with stunning views over the river it really felt very special. Being able to pick fresh oranges and lemons was a bonus! The pool was perfect. My first time in Portugal and I could not have hoped for better. All the people were exceptionally friendly and our 2 children had a great time. We will be returning. Thank you Francesco. ##### Wendy M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANDY B. Jul 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Beautiful property with awesome Douro Valley views. The lack of a major road nearby means the property is challenging to get to, but is not troubled by traffic and hence the only noise comes from the river (!) and the regular trains trundling up and down the valley. We made use of these from nearby Mosteiro which has a full service. At night there is almost silence. Lovely pool and eating areas. Amazing cellar rooms that have museum type information on the Douro (and a table tennis table). Excellent supermarket in nearby Cinfaes. We loved everything about this place. ##### ANDY B.

May 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Unique accomidation The hosts for this property, Francisco and his wife, were very responsive and accommodating during our visit. The house was originally built in 1680 and Francisco has done basic renovation. The grounds themselves and the scenic views are something special. It is a large property with orange, lemon and olive trees, as well as beautiful flowering plants. We had problems locating the property and cannot thank Francisco enough for his patience in helping us find our way. The age of this house and the difficulty in providing modern heat presents a challenge when weather is cool. We recommended to Franciso that he consider upgrading the heat system when possible. He was gracious in providing firewood for the wonderful fireplace and brought some auxiliary heaters for us to put in the bedroom and bath. ##### Henry D.

May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular setting in beautiful residence This place is wonderful, highly recommended, especially for large families. The view over the Douro is magnificent, probably the best of any place we've stayed around the world. One can just sit there for hours looking out the windows (all the bedrooms look out onto the river valley), or while eating at the table outside--or even from the pool! The inside has a nice mix of rusticity and modernity, comfortable but definitely in character with the Douro Valley region. It is an easy drive to the train station for convenient trips to Porto, which always working well (much better than driving in--don't even think of that!). The glories of the Douro Valley begin mostly from this area and go east on roads that wind quite a bit--don't expect fast travel through this valley. Lots of vineyards all over the place to visit, taste, tour, etc. And lovely Porto is close enough for easy day-trips. Our host Francisco was great, very attentive but not intrusive in the least. He certainly knows the history of the house, it being his family's (lots of great old family portraits around). Overall an unforgettable experience and highly recommended. ##### Carl B.

Quinta do Loureiro is truly spectacular! The home, the property, the views! We originally booked for 3 nights but stayed one more (so happy it was available) and I still couldn't bear to leave. Francisco and Teresa are such gracious and welcoming hosts, a beautiful couple, warm and friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that we were well taken care of and that our stay was perfect. My husband and I loved every second and will cherish the memories for a lifetime. Even getting lost (we always do) was an adventure and it was truly difficult to keep my eyes on the road as every turn was a feast for the eyes. We began each morning with the most delicious fresh squeezed orange juice, supplied by Francisco and Teresa form the many orange trees on their property, sipping our way into the day, as we embraced the views and beauty around us. In the evenings, after the peaceful sunsets, we enjoyed dinner by the fireplace and watching the lights come on around the stunning valley. We forced ourselves out a couple of the days to visit wineries and stayed in one to enjoy the gorgeous pool, homemade lemonade, grilling lunch and a great walk around the property. Quinta do Loureiro is breath taking. Francsico and Teresa are the epitome of hosts. We will always carry the memories in our hearts. Thank you Francisco and Teresa. ##### Roslynn S.

Francisco and Teresa are wonderful in every way. What a glorious spot to have experienced together. ##### Loreen S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kathleen b.

The house is lovely unique and has all the necessary conveniences, views of the Duoro incredible, the hosts are really helpful. The place is pretty remote and the road in is a little treacherous, so don't plan to go out at night, but staying home is delightful in this beautiful home. ##### kathleen b.
