What makes this Farmhouse unique
This is a spectacular location with stunning views, set in an unspoiled area with amazing food and wines. Good local restaurants, good wines and all at extremely reasonable prices for superb quality. It is a short distance to Porto, Braga, Guimarães and Lamego, (one hour drive). The house is served by train (Douro Line) to Porto, Régua, Pinhão, Braga and other directions. The nearest station is five minutes’ drive at Mosteirô. You will find local people in the village and surrounding area to be very friendly and welcoming. In Porto you can visit the Port Wine Cellars, the Livraria (library) Lello, made famous by the Harry Potter films and step back in time at the Majestic Cafe. Visit the superb modern Casa da Musica and have wonderful seafood meals near the river at Ribeira Square. You can also take a boat trip from Régua to the Spanish border, a one day tour which is a very scenic trip. We do not have a cancellation policy, but please be assured that if you need to cancel your booking for serious illness or another exceptional circumstance, and your travel insurance does not cover this, we will endeavour to refund your payment.
