Perfect Stay
We had an amazing time here with a group of 8 friends. Alexandra is a fantastic host - she set up a boat cruise, a private chef and wine tastings for us as well as arranged for us to have a driver. The property is wonderful - better than the pictures even. It was very clean and every bedroom had it's own private bathroom. We will definately be back.

Niece's 40th birthday
We celebrated my niece's 40th birthday in Portugal. We feel very lucky to actually have stayed on the Duoro River. The house was only an hour from Porto so we were able to go in for an extra shopping day. It was also only 1.5 hours or a bit less from Pinhao and we really enjoyed port tasting and a boat ride. Dinner at the DOC restaurant was amazing. I highly recommend the house. Beautiful views, pool, terrace and fireplace. The chef experience was also great. Alexandra was so wonderful as well. One comment on location...once we figured out how to get in and out, it was easy but beware gps. Alexandra was instrumental in getting us on the right road! We loved it...definitely include in your itinerary!

An unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time at Alexandra’s place celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday. She was by far the most personable and helpful host we have ever had-from setting up our chef dinner experience to arranging our boat tour, to sharing wine and fado music with us all. The property is so beautiful. We stayed three days-I wish it had been a week. Highlights included each bedroom having a private bath, the pool, the gorgeous views, and a truly unforgettable dinner at the house on our first night. Alexandra even brought a birthday cake and sparkling wine to celebrate. I hope one day we can return!

Best Part of our Vacation
An amazing property and Alexandra the owner is just incredibly nice and really accommodating. Great wines available and you can request a chef cooked meal which we did and truly enjoyed. The chef accommodated gluten free for one of our party which was great as well. Truly a beautiful home with everything you need to relax and use as a base for wine tours, hiking etc… Only an hour from Porto. The pool was perfect as was the terrace. Rooms were well equipped with great and firm beds. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen as well which was a big plus. Truly was our favorite part of the vacation and we spent 2+ weeks in Portugal.

Beautiful location on the Douro
We came together as a family of 5 adults plus partners for 1 week to celebrate a 60th birthday. Plenty of space for all both inside and out (balcony, pool area, fire pit). The host, Alexandra, was really helpful and organised extras for us - a wine tasting & chef‘s 7-course dinner (& cake!) at the house plus a boat trip with picnic. The view from the property is just beautiful. There are plenty of good restaurants & food shops within less than 30 minutes drive.

What a place!
5 college girlfriends from California and Washington State celebrating our milestone birthdays stayed her for 4 nights. It was fabulous. It can be tricky to find but that's because we don't speak the language. The owners are the best. Met us at the house, showed us around and booked a private chef and a Douro boat tour which they suggested and we loved. Having the wine available at our fingertips was such an added bonus and the prices were beyond reasonable. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all a nice size. The view day and night was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again! Obrigada!

Look no more, THIS is the rental you’ve been waiting for
Cannot begin to explain how phenomenal our stay was at this beautiful property. We were greeted in person by our host who welcomed us like family, she arranged a private chef for dinner upon our arrival which was the best meal we had in all of Portugal. Also arranged a private wine tasting at the house which was so personal and memorable. Our two nights here will not soon be forgotten and we will absolutely be back again. You will not regret booking this location, it was truly the best stay we’ve experienced.
