Enjoyed our stay in the Douro Valley

Tidy, small, likely comfortable for 2 people only. Friendly owners. In a quaint village just off the main road so very peaceful. Just the way we like it!

Très décevant

Le logement est minuscule, et contrairement à ce qui est indiqué il n'y a pas 2 salles de bain. Aucune fenêtre ne possède de volet, les toilettes et la douche sont dans la chambre principale en mode ouvert. Le samedi soir il y a réunion au bar juste sous les fenêtres jusqu'à 3h00 du matin donc obligé de dormir les fenêtres fermées sans clim, et réveillé à 05:00 pa r le coq, les chiens et à 07:00 par le boulanger....

Visitar o Douro e fazer parte da aldeia

Fomos recebidos de uma forma muito acolhedora e simpática, sendo o Sr. José bastante prestável e estando sempre disponível. Aldeia muito pitoresca e típica do Douro vinhateiro com a sua amigável e calorosa gente. Sendo disso o exemplo perfeito o café e mercearia junto à habitação. Reconstrução da casa muito bem conseguida e com todas as comodidades disponíveis para uma agradável estadia. Localização ideal para descobrir e visitar muitos dos pontos e locais de interesse espalhados pelo Douro. Experiência a repetir futuramente, com certeza!

Escapadinha pelo Alto Douro Vinhateiro

Eu e o meu marido adoramos a estadia nesta linda e pacata vila. A casa é tal e qual a descrição do anúncio, muito acolhedora, limpa e é muito confortável apesar dos proprietários terem mantido as características originais. está com muito bom gosto. Adoramos e haveremos de voltar. Recomendamos vivamente! Rosa Maria e João.

Lovely rural stay

My husband and I loved this little abode in a very rural small old village. Our balcony overlooked the cafe/mini market/bar which was the social hub of the village. By midweek in our stay, we were exchanging greetings with each arriving and departing customer. You can walk on stone paths for miles amongst grape vines, olive trees and smaller vegetable tracks. The vistas are unbelievably expansive. The village is extremely rural and yet all the Douro Valley high spots are within an easy drive. You must have a car. Although the apartment is also small, it fit our needs perfectly. And was well equipped. We highly recommend this place for active visitors who like rural living and getting to know the local people.

Modern restauriertes Steinhaus

Jose und Aline empfingen uns sehr freundlich in ihrem gepflegten Häuschen. Die Lage im alten Ortskern lässt in das Dorfleben eintauchen und der kleine Balkon lädt zur Entspannung ein. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für vielfältige Ausflüge und Unternehmungen ins Douro-Tal. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.

Un très agréable séjour dans le village authentique de José et Aline

Accueil très chaleureux de José et Aline. Je leur souhaite beaucoup de réussite dans leurs projets futurs. Leur huile d'olive est délicieuse, n'hésitez pas à la goûter et vous balader dans les environs pour découvrir les vignes et les champs d'oliviers. Le Nord du Portugal est magnifique. Sans hésitation, je vous conseille de séjourner dans cette petite maison arrangée avec beaucoup d'élégance.
