Great visit to the Douro Valley

We had an excellent time in Regua staying at the "Hidden Gem". The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop terrace was an awesome spot to look over the city and the river with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Great location, great restaurant 2 doors up the street. Jose was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Cute Home in Fantastic Location

Two couples stayed two nights at the property. We had a busy schedule so we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to enjoy the nice rooftop deck. Free public parking was available a couple of blocks away and restaurants were a short walk. The home was clean with comfortable beds. We would stay here again!

Sweet little spot in a charming town.

Great location for exploring the town. 10 minute walk from the train station - just beware the cobblestones if you're pulling luggage. Lots of good restaurants and cafes within a 10 minute walk. Loved the rooftop deck! Not suitable for larger or less mobile people, due to the many stairs and small showers.

Best stay ever

Th apt is clean and pristine. Lovely 2 bedroom, each with a small bathroom. Peso da Regua is a beautiful town and the apt was lovely, a block off of the main street. There are stairs to get to each room and the kitchen. The rooftop terrace was wonderful and we enjoyed many hours there with lovely views of the city and river. This was a very be enjoyable stay and we would love to stay again. The host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Lovely stay.

Unique House

This rental is beautiful but has many stairs and no living room. The kitchen is big enough to fit two people comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked and is well thought out. The rooftop views are spectacular, but you must use a ladder. If it’s raining, there’s no awning or cover for inclement weather. The entire house is an efficient use of space. The bathrooms are small, but user friendly. If you’re tall, watch your head going down the stairs. The location is stellar and quaint! Jose, our host, was very kind and accommodating.

Excellent stay from start to finish

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at José’s house. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. From the beginning, José was very communicative and welcoming. We were staying on a little honeymoon and José had taken the time to write us little notes around the property and leave us some wine which was delicious. José also sent through lots of helpful recommendations such as where to get pastries in the morning, where to get souvenirs, taxi numbers, and where to eat. We took him up on his recommendation of bakery which gave us delicious pastries to eat on the terrace, and on the tasting menu vineyard experience which didn’t disappoint. The house was in the centre of Regua which as a town is not too big or small. We’re planning on returning to Regua - which I hope will be very soon!

Outstanding communication from the owner Jose. Beautiful apartment with a unique 3rd floor balcony that overlooks the city, river and vineyards. Great location in the city and easy access to the wineries in the Douro Valley. Unique 3 story apartment.

Mooi dakterras met uitzicht

Mooie verzorgde woning waar alles in zit. De slaapkamers en het dakterras zijn mooi. De badkamers zijn te klein. 1,5 m2 voor douche, toilet en wastafel! Ook de keuken is klein hoewel alles aanwezig is wat je nodig hebt. Maar als je bij slecht weer binnen moet zitten in plaats van op het dakterras kan dat niet met 4 mensen. Met 2 mensen is dat al erg krap! Het pas geven van informatie over parkeren en inchecken op de dag van aankomst is te laat. Je wilt weten waar je kan parkeren als je aankomt en niet als je al voor de deur staat. Ook het inchecken met een code voor het sleutelkastje welke je krijgt na 16:00 uur terwijl op de site staat dat je vanaf 16:00 uur kunt inchecken is wel erg kinderachtig.

Hi Ada! We are very glad that you had a great stay and you liked our bedorroms/rooftop :) To clarify, all information was provided at 3:45pm local time (while check-in time is at 4pm), with necessary check-in information provided before your first contact. Nonetheless, within a 2 min of contacting us, we readily reshared all information via phone call, accommodated early check-in before 4pm and shared further information regarding parking (as we understood that you were looking for a spot). We invite all our guests to share their arrival times and questions, so we can ensure they have a smooth check-in and a great stay in the region!

Host profile image
Olá, I’m José! A Douro-born guy now living in Warsaw. With the help of my mother, a local artist that has lived her entire life in Douro, I want to share with you an unique experience that I was never able to replicate in any of my travels: the comfort and convenience of a cherisched home, while the beautiful decor tells you the story of the region and its traditions :-) The region we love and want to share with you? The oldest demarcated wine region in the World (and probably the most beautiful), where some of the best wines in the world are produced, including the famous Port. We will share with you tips and secrets that only locals know, to make sure you have the best experience! Looking forward to host you!
