Oasis
Our hosts, Maria Eugenia and Jose, were amazing! Kind, informative, generous, helpful, I can't say enough about them. We stayed for four days, two couples in the larger home. It was spacious, each couple with their own bathroom. We ate most of our meals at home. Our comadre caught a cold right upon arrival. She had a comfortable place to read, rest and recover, while we enjoyed the pool and had such a wonderful outing in the boat on the Douro river. This was definitely a once in a life time experience. Thank you so much!

A hidden gem
Absolutely gorgeous home blending new and old together perfectly for an authentic stay. The beds were the comfiest I've slept on since coming to Portugal and I was finally able to get a good night's rest. Everything you need is on site and there is tons of space. The views are incredible when you get closer to the river and the pool is refreshing and hosts an incredible view as well. Accessibility is a little tricky and navigating the much tighter roads but once you are able to find the property it becomes easier. Absolutely would recommend if you're looking for a quiet secluded spot.

Tranquility in Douro Valley
We had a lovely stay! The casitas are very remote and the roads are windy, but if that is what you’re looking for… To clarify, there are 2 little houses. The smaller one is near the pool and has a view of the river. We stayed in the more modern addition built on the historical home. It is bigger and appears to have more light. You have access to the pool but have to walk maybe 500 meters to get there. We hopped in the pool one afternoon and also took the kayaks out on the river which was really fun (although our younger son was bitten by a spider (?) that was nesting in one of the life vests so make sure to check that out)! The house was very comfortable and roomy for 4 of us; clean, nice bathrooms, good beds. Bathrooms could use some additional shelves/towel racks but minor details. The kitchen is very comfortable and cool, built into an old house that Maria Eugenia says is likely from the 1600s. We went out to eat 2 of our 3 nights; you have to drive a bit but worth it. Walking around the area was enjoyable too, some decent exercise and picturesque narrow cobblestone streets. Make sure to try the winery (Vilacetinho) just across the way (5 minute drive). Overall we had a relaxing time in Douro and loved our stay and would recommend this place as a starting off point!

Very enjoyable short stay
Unique property with great views from terrace. Well located for both Porto, Regua and other sights along the Douro. Great river beach within a few minutes drive. Maria is a helpful and very friendly host - happy to advise and speaks very good English.

Very clean, modern casa with all amenities
We stayed here for four nights and enjoyed our time very much. Maria was very friendly and helpful and her son went out of his way to help me with a cell phone issue. The roads are steep and narrow which made driving a challenge, but with the help of google maps and friendly locals we managed to find our way round. The only down side was that you cannot see the beautiful river from this property.

Great house and stunning views
The landlady was very helpful indeed. The house is a tasteful addition of the very modern with a 12th century house that works very well. Nice walks around the countryside although a bit of a hike from the river. Can recommend a trip on the river from the nearby quay. Bitetos Duoro will take you wherever you want and are very reasonable. I was the highlight of our visit. There is a nice beach and a couple of cafes near the quay too. Enjoy. We certainly did.

perfect holiday house for a family
We really enjoyed our stay and found the house exactly like on the pictures. Neat and tidy. Maria was a very helpful host. We specialy appreciated the delivery of fresh bread every morning and our kids loved the pool of course. Thank you Maria for your hospitality. Annett

Sfeervol en comfortabel
We hebben een hele fijne week gehad in een comfortabel en sfeervol huis. Royaal verblijf op groot perceel grond, prachtige bosrijke en zeer rustige omgeving. Douro ligt ongeveer 500 meter lager, vanuit huis niet zichtbaar. Van zwembad geen gebruik gemaakt, omdat het een behoorlijk stuk afdalen en klimmen was. Dourovallei is prachtig. Veel moois in de omgeving te zien. Auto is een must.

Villa confortable bien située
Belle villa, avec très belle vue sur la vallée. Une piscine est disponible a 10 minutes à pied, qui donne sur le douro. Maria Eugenia est une hôte charmante et très attentionnée. A recommander.
