Holiday rentals near Museu de Arte Sacra

A beautiful renovation of an old existing hillside farmhouse into a combination of very modern and original features. Excellent accommodation with five en-suite bathrooms, a stunning lounge area and a chef's kitchen. Glass walls to the SE side of the accommodation to provide stunning views over the garden, hillsides and down to the Douro. Early morning fog bands make it very atmospheric. Highly recommended, but it is down the end of a long narrow lane. So travelling in a full-size car is a challenge for the unfamiliar! Excellent bakery in the village as well as a homely restaurant.

We have just left Solar Egas Moniz after a wonderful week staying at this beautiful house. Thirteen of us from Australia visited to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had the best time! Iva and Natalia were awesome hosts. Iva made me feel welcome from the moment I made my booking. She was in regular communication with me before we arrived to make sure that the rooms were properly set up and everything was ready for our arrival. Iva also helped me to organise tours and dinners for our group. The house is very large, light filled and spacious, with several separate upstairs bedrooms, each with its own aircon sand bathroom. Upstairs is reachable by stairs or a lift. Downstairs, there is a lovely lounge area, a big dining room, large and well equipped kitchen and laundry. In the grounds outside there is a swimming pool, sun lounges and (in a separate space) a wood fired oven that we used to make pizzas. The house is only 30 minutes drive out of Porto or 5 minutes to the railway station. We chose it because it gave good access to Porto and to the Douro valley for a range of excursions. Natalia and Iva also cooked dinner for us on our first and last nights at the house. The food was lovely and the meals were a wonderful way to start and finish our time at the house. I can't say enough good things about our stay. The house was brilliant and Iva was the best host. have a lot of experience booking shared holidays. The stay at Solar Egas Moniz was the best I’ve had.
