About this property

Casa dos Cubos Douro River House with swimming pool and river views

Beautiful river house set over 3 floors in a peaceful setting with stunning views of the river Douro. The villa was designed by the daughter of the famous British designer David Mellor with each detail carefully chosen. It has an airy modern yet luxury feel with large bright windows, natural wood floors and spacious bedrooms with large comfortable beds and pristine linen.

The basement has a swimming pool which opens up into the garden in the summer and is covered in winter. The top floor has views of the Douro river and a large wooden table perfect family dinners or cooked for you by our private chef and a fully equipped kitchen.

You can walk into Porto along the stunning river walk or Uber into the center in just 10-15 minutes. Supermarkets are nearby with everything you need and it's 3 minutes to the highway in case you want to explore the Douro Valley or other cities. We offer trips to the Douro for wine tasting, river trips on a Luxury boat and a private chef at the house.

Trips and experiences
We offer private dinners with our international chef, trips to the Vinho Verde and Douro Regions for tours and wine tastings, private river cruise on a luxury motor boat. Please enquire.

We had the most amazing time in Casa Dos Cubos River House. The accommodation was perfect for a Hen Party of 10. It was very spacious, clean, there were plenty of Bathrooms, the pool and garden area was amazing, it had all the amenities we needed, and the location was great (5 mins walk to Pingo supermarket and 10 mins taxi into Porto town. The views from the upper floor were immense. The whole place definitely contributed to how amazing the weekend turned out to be! Clare was an amazing host, who was always available to answer questions on whatsapp when we needed anything, she gifted us with 2 bottles of wine on arrival and even let us check out later on the Sunday. Thank you for helping make the weekend so special, I would come again and plan to in the future! Thanks Clare x

We loved the property and found Clare the host to be very responsive and helpful. There is a beautiful view from the main living area on the top floor of the Douro River with a large dining table and comfortable seating for our group of 6 adults. The kitchen was well stocked, several of the bedrooms had nice balconies, and we BBQ'd several times in the backyard. Clare even provided a new BBQ for us to use! There is a grocery store within a 5 minute walk but not a lot of other things in the immediate area we walked to. However, it was very easy to obtain Uber or Bolt rides to the Gaia waterfront or to Porto at minimal cost when we did not want to drive ourselves. Overall, we would definitely recommend the property and enjoyed our week there.
