Great location and hospitality

This estate home feels like you are worlds away from everything with spectacular river views. Yet, you are literally minutes from all the sights in Porto. Our hosts, Elsa and Philipe, were wonderful. They provided a welcome bottle of Port, along with tasty pastel de natas (look it up if you don't know what they are). They were responsive to our requests and had great recommendations for local dining. The house was well-equipped, clean and cozy. We happened to come when the weather was still warm and had a great surprise. They gave us access to a private pool with pool house and provided towels and lounge chairs. One note: make sure you follow the directions as to how to find the property. We arrived at night and were a little disoriented, but the directions were perfect. We'd love to come again!

Beautiful and quiet property on river

Family stayed 3 nights. The beautiful property is secluded on the riverside with a a great private pool area that you can walk up a hill to. Windows and big balcony upstairs has gorgeous views of the water. Perfect if you are looking for a quieter place away from the noise and bustle of the city to relax. An Uber or car ride can be taken into the city or other areas. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we were there during a heat wave so at night time it was a little warm for sleeping. Other than that we were very happy with our stay.

Amazing view of the river Douro

We had a wonderful stay at this quiet green country home at the river Douro. It was only 15 minutes away from Porto city and it was such a delight to return home after sightseeing and being able to relax on the terrace overlooking the river. There is also a wonderful swimming pool which is a walk uphill. The pool was cleaned every morning. Everything you need is at the house. Thank you, Elsa, for your hospitality!

Beautiful setting

If you want to stay just outside of central Porto on a beautiful property, this is the place. The view is beyond what we expected. We stayed in April so we couldn't take full advantage of kayaking in the river or swimming in the pool, though my husband was game for both. The guest house, which is essentially what this house is, is charming. The primary master is upstairs, a bit of a spiral staircase, and has doors onto the deck where the view is fantastic. We had coffee there every morning. The kitchen and living room are small but our group played cards at night so didn't try to sit around the TV. Our friends stayed in the second bedroom which has access to the patio. Storage space for their clothing was a little challenging in their bedroom so they used the staircase up to the loft to lay their colthes. Overall a wonderful stay and our hostess was available and accommodating.
