Beautiful location looking over the river. However, there is a bit of road noise which is mostly noticeable early morning. There are a couple of bars/ restaurants a few minutes drive or 15-20 minutes walk with good prices. Lots of walks through the hills. Kitchen has plenty of equipment. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Overall a lovely villa in a beautiful location. ##### Steve Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire M. 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious villa with amazing view Luis was very helpful meeting us at the villa and giving us some local tips. Stunning view - we never tired of looking over the river. Property is much more spacious than it appears in the photos & very comfortable. A minor point but the outdoor furniture could do with a refresh, The house was clean and well cared for. It was great to have such a well equipped large kitchen with 2 ovens, would be perfect for a large group, Kids loved the pool so we spent most of the time at the villa & really enjoyed the outdoor space & drinks on the upper balcony. It’s not a particularly touristy area but we liked that, plus we had combined with a few days in nearby Porto first so were ready to relax. We did go to a local restaurant a couple of times and hired a big paddleboard at the river beach, Luis recommended a vineyard to us but we didn’t manage to visit, although we tried the wine which was lovely! Overall a great stay for a very reasonable price. ##### Claire M. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy G., Oberstaufenbach Germany 29 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good Stay But Not Great House is big! Can definitely fit 10 people comfortably. The location is great if you want to be outside Porto but if you want to be closer to the attractions it will be a 25 minute drive. The views of the Douro River are beautiful, the pool was pretty as well, but it was too cold for us to swim. The owners communicated well and had someone meet us to show us around. Now the not so great. When we arrived the house smelled musty, probably just needs to be aired out more often, but it reminded us of grandma’s house, lol. The neighbor’s dogs barked all night, so be prepared to be woken up or not sleep. The bathroom showers all need to be cleaned with mold/mildew remover because it is in the tile grout and along the bottoms of the shower pans. The hall bathroom shower head is broken and sprays water on the untiled part of the wall which has started to mold. Exhaust fans are not big enough for the bathroom spaces and don’t make any difference in the bathroom moisture. Floors and walls are very damp with condensation after every shower and it takes 40-60 minutes to dry. There is not enough lighting in master bathroom vanity. Hair and makeup for women, nope. Bathroom lighting is on a timer, so it will go off in the middle of your shower and then you are showering in the semi-dark. Timers definitely need adjusted. Exhaust fans should also be on a different switch so that the fans can be left on to run longer after showers. Home needs some updating. Overall, we did enjoy our stay. ##### Amy G.

This is a very large house on large very private grounds. The views from the pool area and the house over the river Douro are spectacular and really do take your breath away. Luis is a fantastic host, who was there to meet us on check in with his lovely family. He gave us a tour of the house and explained everything. We had an issue with air con while there which was quickly dealt with and communication throughout our stay was very good, always on hand to answer questions and help with local information. The house itself is very well equipped and spacious. We had a fantastic time and would love to return sometime. ##### helen w.

It’s extremely spacious and pretty well equipped. It’s not the most modern and there are a few elements that could be updated, but that’s reflected in the price that you pay.

Vue sur le Douro magnifique ! mais la maison n'est pas équipée pour des vacances en famille. La cuisine de 30m2 n’est prévue que pour des soirées avec grosses gamelles et marmites mais sans grille pain ni petits matériels. D’ailleurs pas de photos de cette cuisine dans l’annonce, sinon nous n’aurions pas loué ! Quand nous sommes arrivés l’eau de javel empestait la maison mais une fois dissipée l’odeur d’égout nous a écœuré le reste de la semaine. Les propriétaires sourds à nos demandes n’ont même pas daigné venir au rendez-vous du chek out à l’heure prévue !! Nous sommes partis après 3/4 d’heure d’attente et sans explications de leur part !!! ##### Corniquel P.

Friends of ours rented this wonderful house about one year ago and that is when it caught my eye. We actually planned part of our trip around the house. It is about a half hour drive from Porto and about an hour and a half to Douro Valley. We made day trips to both areas no problem. Our arrival came after a busy and full day in Porto and we all just sighed in relief as we drove into the driveway. The house has a spectacular view of a bend in the Douro River. Watching it change from evening to night to morning was great. We all wished we hadn’t been so busy and could have spent more time relaxing there. We cooked in the well-supplied kitchen two out of three nights mostly so we could eat outside in peace and enjoy the view. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We had a couple of issues we had to deal with but António was right on it and nothing was a big deal. I know some people want everything to be perfect but seriously the view makes up for any issues that may come up. Hope to stay again!! ##### Marla M.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing house, view and location The house was beautiful and the location perfect. We enjoyed being in the "country" and out of Porto central. The town of Melres is quaint, folks are very nice, and the view of the Douro River lovely. Recommend this house for couples, families and groups. Loved our experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Uranus Istanbul Topkapı](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Uranus-Istanbul-Topkap.h9766907.Hotel-Information) > > [Cosmopolita Hotel Rome, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Cosmopolita.h48599.Hotel-Information) > > [Monverde - Wine Experience Hotel by Unlock Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amarante-Hotels-Monverde-Wine-Experience-Hotel-Member-Of-Unlock-Hotels.h11530830.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Mercedes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Mercedes.h44712.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Tyneham Village and Flower's Barrow Walk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tyneham-Village-And-Flowers-Barrow-Walk-Hotels.0-l553248621555971188-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lake of Menteith](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Of-Menteith-Hotels.0-l6088405-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Solverde Spa & Wellness Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Solverde-Spa-Wellness-Center.h1188272.Hotel-Information) > > [Axis Vermar Conference & Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Povoa-De-Varzim-Hotels-Axis-Vermar-Conference-Beach-Hotel.h525195.Hotel-Information) > > [Guesthouse Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hrunamannahreppur-Hotels-Guesthouse-Fluir-Grund.h21960495.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Southampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Moxy-By-Marriott-Southampton.h42101688.Hotel-Information) > > [Tondoris Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Tondoris-Apartments.h35652833.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Senigallia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Senigallia-Hotels.d6023971.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villas Florida Keys](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florida-Keys-Villas.d6023765-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [5 Star Hotels in Surrey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Surrey-Hotels.s50-0-d9759.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Manor at Abberley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-The-Manor-Arms-Inn.h15463636.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Costa Teguise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Costa-Teguise-Hotels.s50-0-d6024126.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Palm Jumeirah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Jumeirah-Dubai-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6085142-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Margarenia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Margarenia-Studios.h3528564.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d178293-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bawtry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bawtry-Hotels.d4971.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Newmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newmarket-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d5646-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Globales Cala´n Bosch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ciutadella-De-Menorca-Hotels-Hotel-Globales-Calan-Bosch.h907303.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from leeds bradford airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lba/flights-from-leeds-bradford-airport) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Prague (PRG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/prg/newcastle-to-prague) ### Packages > [Ithaki Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ithaki.d602052.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Queen Victoria Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queen-Victoria-Market-Melbourne-Central-Business-District.d501722.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Wildwood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wildwood.dx10401) > > [Visit Hale Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hale-Village.dx6264250) > > [Visit Village Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Village-Road.dx6069803)
