Summary: We had a great relaxing stay at this house. The balcony gives great sunset views. The pool is a bit of a strawl but is also beautiful placed on the Hill with river view. Mary Eugénia is an excellent host and the fruit and vegetables were a nice bonus. Thanks Maria Eugénia!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: The property consists of 2 houses, which is not clear from the house description at all. The one house has a perfect location with view on the river and steps away from the pool and the river bank with the kayaks. The other house, in which we were staying is 10min difficult and steep walk away with no view to the river at all. The pool and kayaks are shared and not private as in the description. So, when you wanted to go to the pool or use the kayaks you had to walk hoping that it is available. The pool is really perfect and also the use of kayaks on the river makes a lot of fun. Take your fishing gears with you. We caught some nice Blackbass! The house is modern, but minimalistic. If you like to have basically nothing to hang your clothes or place your wine glass when you are sitting on the sofa, you will like it. Otherwise you have to live literally our of your suitcase and place the glass on the floor. The kitchen is the best place and equipped with all basic requirements. There are no recommendation on „What to Do“, so you have to search by yourself. We found a few really nice places to visit, but would have been useful to get this as a recommendation list. The owner is anyway very friendly and with just a better and more accurate information upfront about the different houses we would have spared from a initial disappointment. We were very disappointed at the beginning, but at the end we made the best out of it and enjoyed the stay in the Douro valley.

Summary: Neat property with almost everything ready to use there. Quiet surroundings and possibility of a refreshing dive in the pool, and also the river nearby.

Summary: The house is an architecturally successful mixture of a small old house, where the large, well-equipped dining kitchen is located, and a modern extension with the large bedrooms and a living room. Each bedroom has its own shower, very comfortable. From the house it takes 10 minutes to reach the pool, which is beautifully situated above the Douro and which guests of Maria and her husband's three lovely holiday flats can use. Maria and her husband, who both speak very good English, are extremely friendly and helpful. Directly below the pool there is a private jetty where two canoes are available to the guests. Swimming in the very clean Douro is a dream. The only - small - drawback may be for guests staying longer that there are no wardrobes to store clothes etc

Summary: 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!

Summary: The house is situated in a beautiful landscape. It is comfortable, has a nice Terrasse. There is access to the river a few 100 meters away at another property of the same owner, where one can swim and use canoes. A great experience!
