A little house along the Douron river, clean and a very nice pool. Very kind host couple. We enjoyed very much for four nights. Canoes were also nice to use.
Personal attention; a welcoming and heartfelt visit
This is a very proud family property, clean and in a beautiful location on the Douro River. The owners are cheerful and interactive and very helpful. We loved our stay here. We swam, helped pick grapes, and my husband even had the opportunity to stomp them to make family wine.

We really love the attitude of this couple in the rural environment that our location provides. We look forward to welcoming you back.
Our host was helpful. It was great to have a swimming pool overlooking the Douro. The house has air conditioning which was good as the outside temp was over 30C! The kitchen has all equipment to prepare meals. We were glad my husband is a good driver on very curved roads!

Friendly group. We look forward to welcoming you back.
We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Gondomil. We checked in late, but that was no problem for the owners. We were warmly welcomed! The nature is beautiful, and from the balcony, you have a stunning view of the Douro! The pool is delightful. A great place for those who love peace and quiet, and an excellent base for trips to Porto and Peso da Régua. Highly recommended!
We spent a wonderful week in this lovely villa in August. Very well equipped and comfortable, and in a great location to explore the area - but note the roads are very windy and hilly so it can take a while to get places! The swimming pool is great with a fantastic view, and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the river. The owner Maria gave us some good tips on places to visit and made us very welcome. Thank you for your hospitality :)
Lieu dans le calme, observer le passage des bateaux sur le Douro, profiter de la piscine, dégustation de superbe vin dans le coin... séjour très, très agréable...
Petit gite en pierre très mignon. La vue est vraiment magnifique!! L’endroit est tres calme, idéal pour des vacances tranquilles. Gros plus la piscine!! Elle est top 👍 Merci Maria Eugenia
We had a great week staying at this property by the river. It overlooks the river and you can use the kayaks. There’s a balcony and a pool. Being on the side of the valley makes parking a bit tricky. Maria was helpful, suggested places to eat and fixed the coffee machine straight away.
This is a very unique property nestled in the hills just above the Douro River. Very private, quiet and peaceful. Our host Maria Eugenia, was very welcoming and accommodating. The pool was pristine and access to the river a bonus!
Would stay here again. Highly recommend.
Das gepflegte kleine Haus am steilen Hang des Douro hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Lage am Terrassengarten mit Zitrusfrüchten mit toller Aussicht ist sehr schön und ruhig gelegen! Die Küche ist funktional aber ausreichend ausgestattet. Bei unserem Besuch waren die Herdplatten nicht eben, so dass zum selberkochen etwas Kreativität gefragt war. Ein kleiner Trick für die Koffer: unten stehen lassen und durch die Doppelfenster ebenerdig hineinheben!
