We loved our stay with Fransisco & Teresa in their beautiful house. The views were stunning and we enjoyed being away from the main tourists centres. We chose to drive which suited us but i can understand why others would prefer not to. Fransisco provided great recommendations of local wineries as well as where to find the basics like bread, coffee and the supermarket.With the hot weather we spent plenty of time by the pool which was large and provided more spectacular views. Communication with the host was easy and Fransisco provided clear instructions for finding the property. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and we would recommend.

We were a family of 7 visiting, and it was an amazing week. Fransisco and Teresa were both very accommodating and communication was good which made our stay very easy. We did not want to hire a car, so used the taxi package which we’d advise booking to future guests, as the local knowledge is very useful for getting around. The Quinta itself is beautiful and rich with history alongside incredible views worthy of being on a postcard. The swimming pool is big enough for large groups, and is great for relaxing. Thank you for a great holiday! Kind regards,Steven family

A Special Stay Despite the Weather

We may have had terrible weather, but we still loved our time at Quinta Do Loureiro. Our children adored picking oranges and making fresh-squeezed orange juice, and Francisco was a wonderful host and kept us well supplied with firewood for our stormy stay. The grounds and views were absolutely gorgeous rain or shine. This place really is something special.

House is absolutely stunning in a wonderful location. Truly allows you to get away from it all but yet keep modern conveniences. Francisco is truly a dear host who will go out of his way to insure your trip to Portugal is the best. Cannot recommend this place enough. We are looking for a return trip next summer!

Incredibly beautiful and peaceful place

We spent the entire month of August at this beautiful property. The house is lovely unique and has all the necessary conveniences, views of the Duoro incredible, the hosts are really helpful. The place is pretty remote and the road in is a little treacherous, so don't plan to go out at night, but staying home is delightful in this beautiful home.

The beautiful Douro Valley

We had a wonderfull time in Francisco`s and Teresa`s house. Both are very nice hosts, reserved but helpful in exploring the area around the Douro. Everything was clean as was the beautiful pool located in a beautiful orange and citrus garden.We thank them both and wish them all the best for the future.

Relaxing stay with amazing views

We all enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old farmhouse - the views of the river Douro were fantastic to wake up to every day and the ample pool perfect to cool down in The owner is very helpful and friendly, Francisco can help arrange airport and local transport options and I highly recommend this option over driving yourself! This location is perfect for those looking to relax at the property, and whilst transport can be arranged there is not much in the way of restaurants that are in easy walking distance - stock up at the supermarket and enjoy al fresco meals! A very relaxing stay

Perfect Place to Vacation on the Douro

Views are stunning, home is comfortable and has everything a family would need, and the history of property is evident everywhere and adds to the enjoyment of the stay. The swimming pool was great fun. The host was extremely accommodating and attentive to every need. We used the transportation arranged by the host - the driver felt like part of the family. Our family of 8 (which included twin boys age 22 months) loved our stay and all adults highly recommend the property.

Quinta do Loureiro - wow

A beautiful family-owned property, with stunning views and grounds on the banks of the river Douro. I stayed with 4 family members and we had a very special 10 days. You need a car to navigate the area, and we often stocked up on goods in Marco de Canaveses. On Francisco's recommendation we travelled to Quinta do Pacheca, which was stunning. Boat trips need to be booked in advance. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and found everything clean and tidy. I hope we can return one day soon.

Beautiful views and property

This place had the best views I have ever experienced. From all bedrooms, lounge, patio, and swimming pool you have stunning views across the valley and of the river. The house is large, good size rooms. V large pool to relax by and enjoy the vista. We were here with my kids and mostly visited the local area in the mornings and lounged by/in the pool in the afternoons. The host was great with suggestions for trips. Kids loved going around picking lemons and figs. Overall this was a stay to remember and an astoundingly great property.

Thank you Francisco for looking after us so wonderfully - especially your help with the car. A finer host is surely not to be found. A wonderful house and grounds with stunning views over the river it really felt very special. Being able to pick fresh oranges and lemons was a bonus! The pool was perfect. My first time in Portugal and I could not have hoped for better. All the people were exceptionally friendly and our 2 children had a great time. We will be returning. Thank you Francesco.

Great Duoro Views

We stayed 3 nights and were looking for a place that was a bit off the 'beaten path' of most tourist locations. The Hosts were a delight and we totally loved all the oranges they delivered. The house itself is a centuries old stone home with modern touches. Outside spaces are lovely. It rained so we couldn't take advantage of them as we would have liked. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well appointed and Livingroom comfortable with a lovely fireplace. Will return

Amazing

Beautiful property with awesome Douro Valley views. The lack of a major road nearby means the property is challenging to get to, but is not troubled by traffic and hence the only noise comes from the river (!) and the regular trains trundling up and down the valley. We made use of these from nearby Mosteiro which has a full service. At night there is almost silence. Lovely pool and eating areas. Amazing cellar rooms that have museum type information on the Douro (and a table tennis table). Excellent supermarket in nearby Cinfaes. We loved everything about this place.

Paradise

The property is quite difficult to get to with a dirt road at the end of the journey (which was made at night giving it an extra difficulty rating). However, the view is spectacular and made lounging by the large pool even more relaxing. The owner speaks English but there was a slight language barrier which dis result in a misunderstanding that marred the stay slightly. There are cafes, restaurants and supermarkets nearby that are very cheap so makes it worthwhile eating out regularly.

It is not a host fault you arrive at the house by 2 am . The description and location of the house are fully described . The property is located at Douro valley a mountain area of Portugal where you must negotiate unfamiliar roads . Also as described the paths inside our large property are solid and safe forest paths . Of course by night all unfamiliar roads are more difficult to use to anyone . The days after your nightly arrival we got a stunning surprise : you double the booking people from 8 ( 4 ad. + 4 ch. ) to thirteen without any communication / allowance from the owner !!! Another surprise...after all , your parents came with you , not a word from you about this . They are not part of the booking as others . The full capacity of the house are just 8 people as your booking . As i confirm to you by 2 th February , i found a place for your parents out of my house and i secure the booking with a 50% payment of 200 euros . Not even a word from you about this during your stay !!! You told me " they are not coming "........ All the best . .
