Unique, and amazing place hosted by caring and respectful family, don't miss this place
We stayed at Casa Mateus in May during our lovely trip to Portugal. We were three people, and Casa Mateus was perfect for us. It is somewhat difficult to describe how unique and amazing this place is to stay at. First of all, the hosts, Ricardo and his brother Bruno were extraordinarily welcoming, and patient, especially when we were lost on our approach to the place from the north. We would suggest that if VRBO had one of those web showcase screens with totally unique and amazing places to stay, treehouses in Laos, or whatever, Casa Mateus could be in that list. Yes, it is only a couple of rooms wide, and it is between the train tracks and the Douro River, where there is a water taxi a few times a day. Sometimes there are dogs barking at the vineyards across the river (a common occurrence in our experience in Portugal). However we have stayed in multiple countries with VRBO, and "the other" rental network, and this property is possibly the most unique we have seen. Ricardo had left a homemade cake, port, and other treats for us. He showed us around the two-level building, as well as the other three levels of the property outside. I am 6 feet tall, and walking from one end of the property & house to the other was 120 of my paces, extraordinary. Orange and lemon trees with amazing fruit. Wading pool, appropriate and interesting antique decorations from Ricardo's father, lovely furniture, windows out to the river. Please be sure to look carefully at your map, GPS or Google Maps before trying to drive to the location, to save your time, and that of Ricardo's. Our recent GPS became confused in the tight roads of the Douro Valley driving from Baião. At the Casa itself, there are no sounds of cars at all, no roads nearby. We took the train to one of towns upriver, easy to do. The multiple trains per day passing Casa Mateus were not a problem, though intuitively one could think they would be. We would not have wanted to miss the "one-of-a-kind" experience of staying at the Casa.
