About this property

Douro Mountain House with spetacular vews

Casa da Montanha, (Mountain house) is located in a farm close to the Douro Valley were the Port Wine is produced, (12 km) that has been recently recognized by Unesco as world heritage. Close by are historical villages, medieval monasteries, and a fascinating medieval village almost intact since the 12th century. Being so close to the river Douro this makes possible for visitors to envoy trips by boat on the river including the visit to wine cellars. This property that covers 8 acres, lawns, shrubs, and trees most of them oak, has been in my family for the last 200 years, the house is located at 750 metres high with a spectacular view over a beautiful valley facing a mountain of great beauty. Sitting in the garden or by the pool, gazing the view, breathing fresh air, it's a great place to relax due to the fact of being totally isolated in nature, the nearest house is the owners house at a distance of 60 metres .

Stunning views

Jose was very welcoming and the property was very comfortable. Jose gave us lots of good advice about restaurants and places to visit. The kitchen is basic but there are so many good and inexpensive places to eat out that that didn’t really matter.

What a view!

We had a week st this property. The kitchen is quite basic with a four ring cooker and a microwave, We soon realised that it was best to take advantage of the super restaurants in the area! The location is excellent for exploring and the owners suggestions of where to go were welll received. I was nervous about our car being able to manage the steep road up and down but no issues arose. The garden area was super to relax in

This place is perfect!Seriously beautiful. Surrounded by mountains and peace and quiet, you can't help but relax.We alternated between days of exploring beautiful places, full of history (recommended by José), and days of staying in and enjoying the pool and the loungers.I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing break somewhere, away from noise, distraction, stress, people or being busy.José, the host, is a lovely bloke and balances always being available and helpful with also being discreet and leaving you alone when you're just doing your own thing.Oh, and that window!! With that view!! Wow! Easily one of my best ever holidays!! Thank you, José.

Truly a special place

This house is an absolute gem and the owner José is the perfect host. It was exceptional in every way and from the moment we arrived we felt relaxed. The photos, though accurate, really do not do it justice. We cooked every day and the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of worktop space for preparing food. There is a Lidl and a E.Leclerc hypermarket a short drive away. The views are spectacular and the gardens lovely, lots of space and plenty of privacy. We loved it so much that after the first day’s beautiful train ride following the Douro river, we spent the remaining days at the house, sitting by the pool or eating on the terrace, enjoying the views and the peace and quiet. We wished we had been able to stay longer and really hope to return. Thank you José, you have created a very special place.

Lovely little place for 2 people (a rare find)

We stayed for a week in early July when the weather had picked up and it was 27-30degrees every day. Josè was a really fantastic host. He let us in early after our flight arrived very early. He took time to tell us about good places to visit and pointed them out on map. The location was great. Only 15 minutes drive from Lamego. You will need a car for going out to eat. The local roads can be quite narrow but also steep and windy. We had a Nissan Qashqai which was good for dealing with uneven surfaces but very tight on some of local roads. There is a small kitchen if you want to stay in and cook. No oven but an electric top and a fridge just big enough for two. Main bedroom is downstairs and very cool during night.

Havre de paix au milieu des châtaigniers et de la lavande bercé par le bourdonnement des abeilles. Ideal pour 2 personnes qui cherchent tranquillité et ressourcement. La piscine est parfaite du matin au soir, loin des regards. Maison bien située pour visiter la région du Douro et découvrir ses merveilles. L'accès peut sembler un peu difficile mais rien d'insurmontable. José est un hôte prévenant et de très bon conseil. Nous reviendrons certainement.

Uma estadia no paraíso

Uma casa de pedra muito acolhedora, bem enquadrada na paisagem, com uma janela enorme, que permitia ver as montanhas verdejantes. Simplesmente ficar sentada no sofá a olhar a paisagem, num completo silêncio, já era um alimento para o espírito. O anfitrião é extremamente simpático e prestável. A sua cadela Chica, uma labradora muito meiga e obediente, visitava-nos todos os dias e adorava as festas que lhe fazíamos. Foi uma estadia simplesmente excepcional.

Secluded and serene

We loved our stay! The views of the surrounding region are stunning. The owner meets you nearby to guide you to the property which is helpful- but note this is not a location with lockbox access in case you’re arriving at odd hours or find that uncomfortable . He gave us great suggestions for the nearby area which we loved! Note- there are no soaps provided aside from hand soaps so be sure to pack everything you need. If you’re looking for a secluded, rustic stay in the countryside, this is the place for you!

Descanso merecido

O local é excelente para quem precisa de repouso. O silêncio invade o local, apenas o cântico de alguns pássaros se ouvem e se avistam da enorme janela da sala. A paisagem que se avista de dentro de casa, através da janela é absolutamente maravilhosa, desde o por do sol ao anoitecer. A casa situa-se perto de Lamego e de vários locais com interesse histórico/cultural. Disfrutámos de 10 dias fantásticos, fazendo da casa o nosso ninho, depois de durante o dia explorar o nosso belo Douro. A casa tem as comodidades necessárias para se poder ter uma excelente estadia. De referir a simpatia e hospitalidade do Sr. José Melo que muito bem nos recebeu na sua casa e que nos proporcionou também um óptimo roteiro gastronómico. A voltar com toda a certeza!!

Will never forget this one!

Jose was warm, welcoming and attentive. Just sitting inside this 17th/18th century cottage, looking out the large bay window over the mountainside, it is hard to believe that it isn't an ever-changing painting of beauty. From sunrise to moon-rise, the view is stunning. We loved sitting by the pool and soaking in the sun and silence. We feel so luck to have stayed here for 3 days; it was quite the retreat and will always be remembered. Only word of caution is the drive is a bit treacherous, but so worth the journey! Enjoy!

A beautiful retreat

Jose’s mountain retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind. It is peaceful and secluded with the added luxury of a private pool. Porto is just over an hour away and there are plenty of small villages and country walks in the vicinity. Viseu is well worth a visit as are the natural pools and waterfall just outside of Vila Real.
