About this property

Private Pool with fantastic views over Douro River - Porto & Airport 1H

This house offers an astonishing view over the Douro river that no photograph can really give justice to, and is located 100m from the river in a green valley. The city of Oporto and the airport are approximately 50km (approx. 1 hour away) by road.

Sunshine and good weather are the norm all year around. From April, it's warm enough to enjoy the view whilst sitting outside by the private pool or on the terrace. Until late in the evening the temperature outside is always pleasant and the surroundings are very peaceful. The quiet is only broken by the boats navigating on the river, birds flying by in the sky, or the splash as you take a refreshing swim in the pool or by the clink of your glass of wine!

The house was rebuilt in 2010, the original building having been preserved since 1866. The 80cm thick granite walls are typical of the region and maintain a cool, fresh temperature inside the house. Modern glass, steel and wood have been combined with the existing older materials, creating a comfortable and inviting interior atmosphere.

The house comprises a total area of 224m², with 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, a large living room, bathroom, a toilet and finally a studio. The exterior consists of an area of over 1200m²; with the typical terraces of Douro and several trees. There is also a private pool surrounded by the deck, complete with sun loungers for an afternoon nap, or you could just sit on the steps of the pool in the cool water and gaze over the amazing view.

The general location of the house is close to the motorways, and you wil

Majestic Villa overlooking Douro Valley and River
We were two couples who stayed for 5 nights in Patricia’s beautiful villa and it wasn’t long enough! Patricia is a fabulous Hostess, so helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. She went over and above to make us feel comfortable with the accommodation and area. The villa is in a stunning rural location, and has the most spectacular views of the Douro valley and river from every room in the house. It is very spacious and extremely well equipped with every possible amenity inside and outside. We spent two of our four days enjoying the pool and villa, it was glorious and the weather perfect. Another day was a trip into Porto (Patricia advised where best to park in the city) and the other day was visiting two wineries for tours, tastings and the stomping of the grapes, so much fun! We stocked up with a large grocery shop on our way to the villa in Marco de Canaveses, and made a daily trip to the nearby village for fresh pastries and meat (about a 6 minute drive). It was the highlight of our 17 days in Portugal. The most perfect place to relax and admire the natural beauty of the Douro region. We would definitely love to return one day!

A Retreat for Escapism
This is a lovely property and especially good if you have fragrance allergies. There were no artificial scents in the property and the owner went to special lengths to ensure our bedding and towels were laundered in fragrance-free detergent. If you're looking for a clean organic stay away from everything in the Portuguese hills, this will be a good choice. You will need a car for this holiday, the supermarket is around 25 minutes away and most sightseeing/attractions circa 1 hour by car. The views from this property are incredible, the property is well stocked and everything worked well.

Magnifique emplacement
L'emplacement est magnifique. La vue, à couper le souffle. Petit havre de paix tranquille dans le Douro, entouré de citronniers, d'orangers, de pêchers, de romarin et de lavande. L'hôte est gentille et accueillante.

Beautiful home
The house is in a secluded valley with stunning views along a wooded river valley. At the time of our visit, there was work ongoing building a nearby villa but this did not disturb us. Patricia, the owner, was lovely, very helpful and attentive when needed, but not over powering. The house remained cool in the blazing sun and the pool was just perfect! We would certainly return.
