Great little spot in rural setting with Ana maxing view and very hospitable owner.

Lovely owner that dropped off bread and wine everyday of our stay! Great setting with a very interesting narrow access that as a Canadian was a great experience.

Very rural setting in old village. 15 minute drive to market or restaurant. Very nice home with views overlooking Douro River. We were able to engage with locals and helped with grape and olive harvests and even stomped the grapes! Many lovely surrounding towns and hikes but you must have a car!

Stay September 2025

The owner was very helpful, friendly. We got coffee, detergent for the washing machine, for the dishwashing machine, paper for the wc, ...He also cleaned the swimming pool. The view towards the Douro is amazing! A general interior and exterior overhaul would be beneficial

Cuisine très bien équipé, superbe vue sur la vallée. Notre hôte nous apportait des petits pains à tous les matins. Seul point faible les bureaux des chambres étaient poussiéreux et j’ai passé un coup d’aspirateur dans la maison.

Das Haus ist in einem sehr schlechten Zustand und muss dringend von Grund auf renoviert werden, vor allem die Badezimmer und die Küche. Bei den Möbeln hat man das Gefühl, dass sie vom Sperrmüll kommen, da gehört zumindest das meiste hin. Außerdem war es auch nicht sauber. Es ist wohl immer mal ausgebessert oder gestrichen worden, leider ohne z.B. abzukleben (Farbreste auf Fliesen, Türen, Armaturen, Deckenlampen). Die Badezimmertür des and das Schlafzimmer angeschlossenen Bades kann man nicht schließen. Es wirkt alles sehr unprofessionell und lieblos. Auch der Pool ist ein DIY-Projekt.Das ist so schade, da der Ausblick grandios ist. Warum kein bodentiefes Küchenfester und eine Ganzglasseitentür, weniger und zusammen passende Möbel?
