Breathtaking

Words cannot describe the view from the house as well as how beautiful the house itself is. Pictures do not really do it justice. Our family of 9 were very comfortable here and we could have fit another couple of families and been fine. It was wonderful to have our breakfast prepared by Erica every day. We felt like royalty. Highly recommend this property in the beautiful Douro Valley. The only thing I did not like about the property was the driveway which was steep and scary but totally worth the few seconds of fear to spend time in this house. We would come back.

Family Reunion

The Villa was absolutely perfect for our reunion. We felt we were cocooned in our own bubble of total luxury and relaxation. It’s an amazing setting with superb views. Erika arrived at the Villa every morning and set up a superb buffet breakfast. After that we were free to explore the Douro valley, wineries, river trip, etc or simply enjoy the wonderful facilities at the Villa. It beats any five star hotel I have stayed at. Bravo!
