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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful property that would be fabulous in warmer weather
This is a fabulous property with the capacity to accommodate a large party and we had a most enjoyable stay. The views over the valley and the town were spectacular and the patio was a delightful place from which to enjoy a pre-dinner drink. We had the feeling that we were the first visitors for the season and unfortunately the weather was unseasonably cold and with so much stonework throughout the building and only two solid fuel heaters we ended up burning a lot of wood in order to stay warm. However once the house reached a reasonable temperature it was fine and we all enjoyed the experience. We have little doubt that later in the season with higher ambient temperatures, this would be a special place to stay.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the villa was comfortable and well equipped.
A well designed house with a great view in a convenient location. Good base for exploring the Douro, Porto and further afield. Attentive hosting from Sr Velhote. Great plunge pool for cooling down on hot summer days. A lovely place for two families to share. Thank you.

A lovely spacious property up in the hills with fantastic views over the valley. The owner provided everything you need for a self catering holiday. Sitting on the terrace enjoying a glass of port after a day out sightseeing was just bliss! Thank you Álvaro for all your care.

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

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.
