Fantastic Rustic Setting with Views of Surrounding Hills

This house was really unique for us for its rustic look and use of natural materials. The beds were comfortable, and there was so much space to relax including huge patio and cozy living room. It might be a bit out of the way from the main road, but it made it feel like a country escape. We had a great time.

Great views and plenty of space

Three couples visiting Porto. The house is nicely laid out for 3couples, the views and property are beautiful and we loved the character of the house. We did not know heat wasn’t included and we had to maintain fires in the fireplaces through the night. It is not walkable to shops and restaurants, the beds and bedding are old and worn and we only received one hand towel and one bath towel per person. Also note, you should be prepared to bring everything, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, etc

Lovely country home

Country home very nicely designed for multiple couples or families, beautiful pool area along with other available activities. Kitchen and gathering/dining areas very well designed. Local restaurants, grocery and other stores close by. Owner Alvaro was very attentive without intruding on our privacy. We would certainly like to return in the future.

Friends vacation

Great location. Large home suitable for families or friends. Well laid out property with views from each room. Very well stocked with everything you might need. Host went out of his way to ensure we found the property when we arrived late at night. Bed linen clean and comfortable, could do with an upgrade.

Portugal hills

The location of this villa is ideal if you want to separate yourselves from crowds and drink in nature and peaceful views. An absolutely perfect setting to gather with friends or family and enjoy leisurely meals while overlooking a beautiful valley. I highly recommend this place and the host. The host is quick to communicate and was a gracious host the five days we were there. Unobtrusive and but helpful. If you get that chance to stay here, do! You won't regret it.

Rather a small manor than a holiday house

This house is rather a small manor in the countryside than a traditional holiday house - the location a bit difficult to find but when found what a place!! - situated on top of a very hilly terrain with a magnificant view from the terrace over the Tâmega valley towards Marco de Cavaneses on the other side of the river. Excellant equipped with everything you need. Host very kind and communicative about everything.

Tranquil setting, well situated, warm welcome

The house, gardens, pool, views and amenities were spot-on for our two-day sojourn in the Douro. The owner, Álvaro, was very welcoming and extremely responsive (in fact proactive) when there was an issue with the electricity during a massive rolling storm. We took advantage of the pool, outdoor grill and the splendid patio. If you go to Amarante for the day I recommend taking the old road (N210) on the return to Marco de Canaveses alongside the Támega, GPS will suggest many other routes but this one is worth the extra 5 minutes or so.

Fantastic!

This home hosted a large group of friends and family for a week. There were five adults and three young children and there was plenty of space and activities to keep us relaxed and happy during the week. The location of the house was also very convenient- about 30-40 minutes from Porto, Guimaraes, or the Duoro River. Álvaro is a wonderful host, providing excellent support and communication throughout our stay. Highly recommend. One of the few VRBOs I truly want to return to.

Dejligt og stort hus med mange faciliteter.

Vi ( 7 voksne og 2 børn) havde en fantastisk uge i dette store hus med perfekte omgivelser. Huset ligger roligt på en kæmpestor grund - og med et fint poolområde lidt på afstand af huset - med god sikkerhed for mindre børn. Vi nød de mange aktiviteter ved huset og de fine terrasser til alle måltider. Passende afstand til flere smukke byer med gode spisemuligheder og seværdigheder. Værten tog selv imod og bister os godt på vej. Tak for en fantastisk uge i dit smukke og velholdte hus. Venlig hilsen Mette May, Nordborg

estadia fantastica!

La localidad es perfecta, la casa es tal como se describe en el anuncio y me atrevería a decir que es aun mejor. La vista es insuperable, disfrutamos de la piscina, de las áreas verdes internas a la propiedad, practicamos deporte al aire libre, etc . Además las casa tiene tantos ambientes muy agradables y acogedores, que sinceramente no teníamos ganas de salir de la propiedad. Estuvimos en casa 10 personas, por 9 días en familia y la pasamos fantástico. Un sincero agradecimiento al Sr. Alvaro una persona muy cordial. Seguramente volveremos.

Goed verblijf, heerlijke omgeving

Als je op zoek bent naar rust en ruimte is deze woning perfect. Een auto is wel echt nodig,want het ligt afgelegen. Het enige minpuntje is dat het huis en de omgeving niet makkelijk toegankelijk zijn voor mensen die wat minder goed kunnen bewegen. Voor de rest was het perfect.
