"The Breakfast was very good and fresh with plenty of options. Many types of pastries, fruits alternative milks. The front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable about the Douro Valley. The rooms had incredible views of the River. Rooms were spacious but were dated,they need a refresh. Bed was comfortable though. The area was good but you definitely need a car to see the rest of the valley and vineyards."

"We had an incredible visit at this magnificent property. Victor greeted us with such hospitality and we felt very welcomed in his beautiful home. The home was immaculately clean and it is nestled in such amazing surroundings. We traveled with our extended family with a group of 6 and there was plenty of room for all of us with private bathrooms as well as full views of the vineyards from each of the bedrooms. In fact, there is a total of 5 bedrooms so plenty of room for extended family. The pool was very relaxing and the outdoor spaces are fantastic with outdoor seating for meals and for enjoying wine by the pool. The beds were very comfortable and the home had a fully stocked kitchen. The location was remote but perfect to feel like you are immersed in the culture. Victor is great about providing things to do during the day and day trips. We took a day trip to Porto and one day trip to a winery, one day trip to a boat wine tour and we went hiking and exploring on our final day. If you are traveling with a group I would recommend a small car as the roads are narrow. We rented two small cars for a group of 6 and it was perfect. We have traveled extensively and this home is at the top of our list and we will definitely return to this beautiful location again! "

"This was our second stop in the Duoro area- we spent three days here- the house has all the comforts of home. The bedrooms have wonderful linens and spectacular views of the Duoro. The kitchen is below and is modern. The two balcony areas were great and we spent most of our time there in the afternoons. Street parking can be sparse but we were able to find a spot each time. Great hike- PR1 in the area thru some old areas-felt like a step back in time!"

"Excellent location. Host was very helpful throughout the stay. Spectacular views. Everything you needed was at hand. Especially loved the fire on the cool evenings."

"Breakfast was delicious "

"We are a family of 5 with 3 kids under 12. We visited in March and it was very quiet/serene. Portovella has a beautiful view of the Douro. Riverside walk is just several steps down a hill. Photos don’t do it justice because it is so breathtaking in person. The comfort suite was the perfect size with 2 bathroom ensuites and a powder room. View from the suite was incredible. Just plan ahead if you’re staying on a Sunday as many restaurants were closed but we found a gem in Cinfaes - Sabores e Memorias where husband and wife cook for you and welcome you in. The pool was not yet open unfortunately since it was March but would have been an incredible view. There’s also a kids playground set which helps for the little ones and a small little fish pond. The property has beautiful lemon and orange trees. A full and delicious warm breakfast was served directly to your door. A very peaceful stay! Highly recommend."

"The staff was most welcoming, efficiant and helpful. The balcony with river view was wonderful. The complimentary bottle of wine in the room was special."
