I am the property owner and manager, now retired, 77 years old. I live at the farm estate in another property. I am available to welcome guests and offer assistance during their stay. Check in is quite flexible.
I will happily provide assistance during your entire stay concerning directions and other information which will help you to enjoy the area such as restaurants and places to visit. In addition, I will be delighted to arrange guided sightseeing or wine tasting tours throughout Douro Valley’s Port Wine producing estates with lunch and transport included. I can givr information on local amenities, shops and restaurants. There is also a possibility of transfer from/to Porto airport by previous arrangement and at low cost. We have details of local taxi companies and offer a package to our guests who prefer not to drive. Just ask for details.

This is a spectacular location with stunning views, set in an unspoiled area with amazing food and wines. Good local restaurants, good wines and all at extremely reasonable prices for superb quality. It is a short distance to Porto, Braga, Guimarães and Lamego, (one hour drive). The house is served by train (Douro Line) to Porto, Régua, Pinhão, Braga and other directions. The nearest station is five minutes’ drive at Mosteirô. You will find local people in the village and surrounding area to be very friendly and welcoming.

In Porto you can visit the Port Wine Cellars, the Livraria (library) Lello, made famous by the Harry Potter films and step back in time at the Majestic Cafe. Visit the superb modern Casa da Musica and have wonderful seafood meals near the river at Ribeira Square. You can also take a boat trip from Régua to the Spanish border, a one day tour which is a very scenic trip.
