This property is wonderful (family of 4 with 2 kids). It is important to know that it is about 45 minutes outside the main douro area, uphill, very secluded. It is above the mountains, so the view is very nice but it is not the typical valley view. We knew that we would be far from everything, so we came prepared with groceries, and we booked the Panoriamic villa, so we had a kitchenette.
It was so quiet and peaceful, the beds were extremely comfortable, the pool was unheated but sooo refreshing in the 35 degree heat. The property is very well kept and beautiful. The breakfast included was simple but perfect, and special since the owner baked delicious breakfast banana caramel cake. The stars at night are wild.
To make it even better, they could have some other meal options for purchase, and a wine tasting and vineyard tour experience. Since it is far outside of the tourist area, inexpensive and very small (about 7 rooms), I understand how that may not be practical for them to do all that, and I give this place a 5 star regardless!!
