About this property

Casa Douro Terrace -River Views Douro Valley 60' from Porto

Serene beauty and total privacy on a large terrace over the Douro!

Holiday home in the green landscape of arbutus and cork trees, with privileged views of the river, at the gates of the Douro Wine Region, a world heritage site.

To share with friends and family, on barbecue and revelry afternoons on the riverfront terrace, savoring the green wine of Tormes, or quietly reading at sunset. At night "(...) nothing more beautiful, and more vain than a cave on top of the mountains, looking at the stars! ... "* And in the colder season, why not a port when the flames crackle in the warmth of the fireplace?

Set in a 3000 m2 wooded and landscaped property, Casa Douro Terrace offers 3 elegant and spacious bedding rooms, one with a panoramic balcony overlooking the valley and the river; large living / dining room with fireplace, television, stereo system, DVD, books, games (adults and children) and toys; two full bathrooms with a hairdryer and free toiletries; Kitchen equipped with stove, kitchenware, stove / oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, kettle and blender.

Douro Terrace features free WiFi. Free private outdoor parking is available. Free bicycles are available. There is possibility of cleaning during the stay. The rooms are equipped with heating.

Outside there is a large terrace with garden furniture and barbecue. The terrace overlooks a wooded area that extends to the river.

Baião, with the largest green area in the district of Porto, breathes “fine and pure air” * and offers natural scenery of “incomparable beauty” *, river beaches, historic routes, preserved villages, ancient monuments and excellent cuisine.

Be dazzled by the “natural life of Baião”, enjoy the riverside place of Pala with its orange groves, practice water sports, walk along Ribadouro's Roman sidewalk, cool off in the pure waters of the Bestança River (Cinfães) and the river beach from the river Ovil. Follow the Romanesque route - visit the Ancede Monastery (founded in the 18th century). XII) and the bridge of Esmoriz. Take the “Jacinto Way” from Aregos (Tormes) Station and go up the mountain to Tormes. Discover the villages lost in time (Mafómedes), the Serra do Marão, the indigenous Carvalhal de Reixela, the Serra da Abobreira with its megalithic monuments and delight in the wines and the local cuisine.

Finally, be dazzled by the Douro vineyard by catching the train at Aregos station “(…) the tiny Tormes station (…), by the river, among rocks, with its showy sunflowers…” * and continue to Pocinho, on the Douro line, on a trip through Miguel Torga's “wonderful kingdom”

Perfect hideaway
The property is superb, everything you need is there, and the view is very special. We took the train to Porto and back, which was great, but were really glad to get back to the space and tranquility of the house. Joao is an excellent host, great communication.

Great View, awesome home Fabulous, Host great!
The host is great, the place is great home it’s cozy comfortable and well equipped, an awesome view. A spectacular large place with panoramic views from back wrap around patio, high in the hills over the Douro. Beds comfortable AC in each bedroom - Quiet location - only praise. Finding the place is a bit hard at first - a small drive off country like road but well worth that step to be amazed of the place and its view and comfort. Host provided a warm welcome bottle if wine cake for our arrival.

Paradis dans les vignes . Mais on donne un gros 4.9 sur 5
Nous avons adoré notre séjour . Tout est pareil comme dans la publicité . L’hôte a été remarquable avec beaucoup de très jolies attentions … bulles , gâteau maison , chocolat , figues fraîches … vraiment on a été choyé . La maison est très confortable . L’air climatisée a été apprécié ..et la vue incroyable . Il faut juste être prête à conduire une heure de Porto .

In the hearth of the Douro valley
This property has an astonishing view of the Douro Valley and it's near vineyards, without the need to drive for hours to reach them. Also, the air conditioning in each bedroom was very welcome during the heatwaves. João was very kind to show us everything we needed in the house and in the region... do not miss the small vineyard just 5 minutes away with their excellent white and rosé wines! As a side note, this house is located in the mountains, so the parking spot is a bit narrow and only two sides of the house have viable windows... but what a view!
