Casa dos Cubos Douro River House with swimming pool and river views
Beautiful river house set over 3 floors in a peaceful setting with stunning views of the river Douro. The villa was designed by the daughter of the famous British designer David Mellor with each detail carefully chosen. It has an airy modern yet luxury feel with large bright windows, natural wood floors and spacious bedrooms with large comfortable beds and pristine linen.

Stunning house to photos really do not do it justice. We hired the property for our wedding trip. It was perfect on the day of the wedding for a big group to get ready so much space. Claire the host is the most helpful lovely person anything you need to know even if it isn’t about the house she assists in any way she can. Beautiful views. Supermarket around 4/5mins walk away. Ubers really cheap to get into the city itself around 4/5 We can’t wait to go back!

We loved the property and found Clare the host to be very responsive and helpful. There is a beautiful view from the main living area on the top floor of the Douro River with a large dining table and comfortable seating for our group of 6 adults. The kitchen was well stocked, several of the bedrooms had nice balconies, and we BBQ'd several times in the backyard. Clare even provided a new BBQ for us to use! There is a grocery store within a 5 minute walk but not a lot of other things in the immediate area we walked to. However, it was very easy to obtain Uber or Bolt rides to the Gaia waterfront or to Porto at minimal cost when we did not want to drive ourselves. Overall, we would definitely recommend the property and enjoyed our week there.

We had the most amazing time in Casa Dos Cubos River House. The accommodation was perfect for a Hen Party of 10. It was very spacious, clean, there were plenty of Bathrooms, the pool and garden area was amazing, it had all the amenities we needed, and the location was great (5 mins walk to Pingo supermarket and 10 mins taxi into Porto town. The views from the upper floor were immense. The whole place definitely contributed to how amazing the weekend turned out to be! Clare was an amazing host, who was always available to answer questions on whatsapp when we needed anything, she gifted us with 2 bottles of wine on arrival and even let us check out later on the Sunday. Thank you for helping make the weekend so special, I would come again and plan to in the future! Thanks Clare x

Clare made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and was highly communicative from beginning to end. The home is clean, extremely nice, and very comfortable. We stayed as two couples, but the house would also be perfect for larger groups, as it has four bedrooms and plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is well appointed, making it easy to prepare meals when you want to stay in.The layout is excellent, with decks seemingly everywhere throughout the three-storey home. The main living area is on the top floor, the bedrooms are on the second floor, and the pool and entertaining area are on the bottom floor, where you can walk straight out into the backyard. There is free and easy parking right in front of the house which is convenient.We had a wonderful stay in Porto and would happily recommend this home.Tip: if its not on your list I highly recommend Palacio do Bolsa. If tickets aren't available online, go to the ticket office and try to book a tour for the next day. It is one of the most spectacular places in all of Portugal.

Beautiful, house and attentive host. Great for a bigger group, lovely views over the river and great outdoor and indoor space. We also took advantage of the offer of a private chef which was excellent, we all enjoyed the stay (6 people) and would highly recommend.
