Only 20 minutes from the city of Oporto, " Casa do Sobreiro" was recently renovated and managed to keep the original structure and architecture, which is typical of the Douro region.
An old mill for the production of olive oil was kept intact and is certainly an interesting feature of the Casa do Sobreiro.
In the surrounding area, the focus is on the beache and a small marina with restaurants where you can enjoy the best Portuguese gastronomy. You can also explore the Douro river cruises.

Grande maison située à 20 minutes de porto comprenant 9 couchages avec piscine et vue sur le douro.Nous avons passé une excellente semaine au calme adresse à retenir dans la région de porto
Spacious well equipped property with stunning views
This is a very spacious property with a pool overlooking The Douro River. The kitchen is well equipped and Luís, the host, and family were helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Thoroughly recommended!
We felt very lucky to have found your lovely farmhouse. The old olive press was very interesting. The house was huge, comfortable, the hosts were very welcoming and the location was perfect for us. It was close enough to Porto, Pinhao, Guimarães, and on a beautiful bend of the Douro River. Thank you so much!
We had a lovely stay in this huge house . Stunning views and in a good position for the village and a few restaurants. Well kitted out huge kitchen . The family were very nice and saw us into the house and were quick to reply to any requests for help . However the garden furniture needs updating as mentioned in previous reviews as do some of the beds . Two of the doubles were uncomfortably hard.
Ideales Haus für große Familien oder kleine Gruppen. Riesig ist der Aufenthaltsraum und die ehemalige professionelle Küche. Manches ist in die Jahre gekommen... .Die Warmwasserversorgung ist mal zu optimieren.
We loved our stay at this house! The view is absolutely amazing, the pool is heated and the house is roomy. The bedrooms upstairs have air conditioning and are super comfortable. I highly recommend this vacation destination!
Had a lovey stay in this beautiful villa which had so much space and the most amazing views over the river. Pictures on site do not do home justice.
Able to drive into Porto easily and was also advised that a bus runs hourly from bottom of road to Porto. Came back feeling refreshed and relaxed. Thanks for 'sharing' this home Luis!
The house was beautiful and the location perfect. We enjoyed being in the "country" and out of Porto central. The town of Melres is quaint, folks are very nice, and the view of the Douro River lovely. Recommend this house for couples, families and groups. Loved our experience.
The house is in the most stunning location - better than the photos! It’s extremely spacious and pretty well equipped. It’s not the most modern and there are a few elements that could be updated, but that’s reflected in the price that you pay. The owner was really helpful and communicative, and shared suggestions for the local area. Would recommend!
Une maison exceptionnelle dans une bourgade paisible avec une vue extraordinaire sur le fleuve.
Un accueil trés attentionné de Diogo et sa famille.
Nous reviendrons a coup sûr....
All five members of the same family, very much enjoyed our stay at this location. Lovely surroundings, good accommodations, adequate kitchen facilities. Good advice on local restaurants and a good local grocery store. The owner accommodated separate arrival times. Thanks so much!,
Super séjour dans un bel endroit et une villa magnifique. Lieu un peu dur à trouver et à y accéder. Ça monte…
Village accueillant.
L’hôte a rapidement réagi quand nous sommes tombé en panne d’eau…
From start to finish the booking process was easy and answered all my messages.
The photos dont do it justice, the villa is beautiful and so big for a family of 6 with wonderful views. We had a perfect holiday and had Diogo to cook for us 1 night which was lovely traditional portugeuse food.
Perfect holiday for us all with everything we needed. Thank you!
We loved our stay overlooking the Douro River. What a splendid view; great for early morning coffee or late afternoon wine. It was a quick trip into Porto to enjoy the sites. We approached Porto from the Gaia side. Kitchen is good for making a few meals. This place did not disappoint! Thank you António and Diego.
As others have said, the photographs do not do this wonderful property justice. This is a very large house on large very private grounds. The views from the pool area and the house over the river Douro are spectacular and really do take your breath away. Luis is a fantastic host, who was there to meet us on check in with his lovely family. He gave us a tour of the house and explained everything. We had an issue with air con while there which was quickly dealt with and communication throughout our stay was very good, always on hand to answer questions and help with local information. The house itself is very well equipped and spacious. We had a fantastic time and would love to return sometime.
Host was very attentive and communicative.
Place is huge and has great views. Loved sitting out in the evening watching the sun go down.
Close to small village (Melres) with couple of shops and a supermarket and a beach on the river. Can get a bus (#9) from just up the road straight into Porto - costs 3 euros each way. Uber only 30 euros from airport so case to be made for avoiding the scam of car hire.
We had a great stay and would visit again, thanks Diogo.
