Feel Discovery Alvim's Douro

Private villa surrounded by vineyards, with swimming pool and stunning views over the Douro River, in the heart of the Douro wine region!

During your stay, you can book a private wine tasting or a wine dinner, held in a tasting room specially created for this purpose, with stunning views over the Douro River.

For those who prefer simply to enjoy the villa, the spacious outdoor areas and swimming pool offer everything you need to spend an unhurried day, surrounded by the landscape.





After a day of discoveries, return to the villa, dive into the pool and let the Douro do the rest.





At Feel Discovery Alvim's Douro, wine, nature and landscape are part of the experience. A place to stay, take a deep breath and experience the Douro at your own pace.

Epic stay

Words can’t describe how awesome this property is. Fantastic house with an unbelievable view. Pool looking out over the river valley - breath taking. And the owner Eurico was just awesome - great tour of property when arrived and nice touch with the welcoming port experience. This is the best place to be in Douro. Central to all the wineries.

Douro Valley Oasis

What an amazing home in the Douro Valley!! The pictures don't even do it justice. Breath taking views. The home was very clean, and comfortable. Spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom has an ensuite full bathroom. We cooked each night and the kitchen was very well stocked. The pool was such a nice added bonus. Eurico was such a warm and inviting host.

Folgosa Douro Villa

Property is stunning set in a hillside overlooking the Douro River among grapevines and olive trees. Folgosa is a short drive from both Pinhao to the north and Regua to the south where both grocery and dining options were available. Our host was both gracious and welcoming. While our weather did not afford us the opportunity to utilize the infinity pool or the magnificent BBQ area, we greatly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend…rent a vehicle that climbs hills!

Amazing week in Duoro

This property is the ideal choice for an idyllic and restful week - really quiet and relaxing but in proximity to some interesting sites and things to do in the wine region. It is immaculately maintained. We were one family but ti could easily fit two families of 4. FYI there are no baths (only showers) if you need for little children and the drive up the hill is not for the fainthearted. Otherwise book it right NOW!

Severson family

Incredible property with amazing views above the Douro River. Cruise ships going by below us all the time, obviously paying to see what we awaken to, and enjoy during the entire stay. Modern, first class, impeccable home with 3 king bedrooms with bath, all on the second floor with a walkout balcony deck. Overlooks the swimming pool and buried in the middle of the vineyard. Absolutely gorgeous! We were met immediately upon arrival by the owner of the home and vineyard, and after a tour of the house and property, he opened up the lower level of the home to his wine cellar, and he poured all of us, including our college girls, a 40 year world class Port to toast our arrival! So classy!! Beware: there is a narrow and very steep road leading up to the vineyard estate from the river that is actually pretty scary to people from Minnesota. The little village of Folgosa, just below, has a nice little local restaurant La Bamba for pizza and local fares, but right on the water is an acclaimed Michelin restaurant called DOC, where a cruise ship stopped, which we will definitely reserve next visit. We had a really fun day trip on the Douro that was beautifully arranged for us, which included a train ride along the Douro river, a private van tour of the region, one of the best lunches we had in Europe EVER, a 1 hour boat ride on the river to see many of the quintas, and a great tour of a world-renowned quinta (vineyard) with tasting. Truly a 5 star experience. Just do it!
