Find mountain rentals near Foz Cabril River Beach

We had a lovely holiday in Alvarenga. Manuel and his family were warm and welcoming and we loved attempting to chat round the pool in French and Spanish! It's a beautiful area with green eucalyptus hills and the Geo park provided some interesting spots to visit. We didn't explore much because we got lost on the mountain roads on the way to Alvarenga at the beginning of the week but were very glad to stay put and enjoy the immediate locality, although we did make it to Arouca - pretty - & the fossil museum, where the children enjoyed cracking slate. Alvarenga has several restaurants where they serve the local delicacy, steak or cod, & a supermarket, all within walking distance. The house itself was large, well-equipped and clean and had good wifi. Many thanks to Manuel for your hospitality.

What a wonderful place to recharge and rest amongst beautiful nature. The house is very homely and the area is gorgeous.

I first saw this fantastic Quinta last year on YouTube and wanted to go then, but sadly had too much work to doo!!! This year however we decided to go for s short stay in late February and it did not disappoint at all... The Owners Tony and Sherrin were amazing hosts and extreamly helpful and kind. After arriving we fealt very much at home as we went and had coffee with them in the main house. Also Sherrin’s home made bread was a real treat. The lodge was fantastic and comfortable and the views are actually better in real life!!! I really went to see the river. As a keen fly fisherman I wanted to see if it could fish well in the season. We walked a lot of the banks and it’s very accessible and a large amount of fish!!!! If we were there longer we would have done more exploring as there is plenty to do. Particularly exploring the Towns and Villages on the Douro.. I would definitely go back for longer!! Thank you Tony and Sherrin for a great break and see you again soon!
