It's located about 30 minutes from Porto and if you seek for peace and quit it's the best place to stay. The huge garden is so adorable. We enjoyed it a lot. Carmen is a very open-minded and friendly host. We will come back for sure. :-) ##### Alena B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter P. 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Gem Quinta de Vilar is what its title suggests: a former vineyard. What makes this property such a gem is: the glorious mature garden, surrounded by the extensive grounds of the former vineyard; the fabulous 20m x 10m pool, with an additional, ice-cold, smaller pool, hidden in the woodland; two splendid dogs; and Carmen, the charming and helpful host.We spent a relaxing two weeks here, during the June 2025 heatwave, keeping cool in the pools, which are for guests sole use, and the air conditioned house.Qunita de Vilar is ideally located, 30 minutes’ drive from Porto Airport. There are nearby train stations, with free parking, for trains into the centre of Porto, where driving is to be avoided. There is also easy access to the wonderful Douro valley, with its myriad wine and port producers.Not to be missed is Casa Da Viuva wine bar and restaurant, which is 5 minutes’ drive: they have a fantastic selection of quality wines and food, with friendly and welcoming staff.Carmen was the perfect host, leaving us to do our own thing, but always available to help, if needed.Everything was immaculate clean and well looked after.Thank you very much ##### Peter P.

Merci beaucoup Carmen!! ##### Hyacinthe P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth D. 3 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely gardens and fabulous private pool! A fantastic base to explore Northern Portugal from, Carmen's property had everything we were looking for. The private pool is massive and is wonderful to cool down in after a day's exploring or simply spending the day sunbathing and relaxing. The grounds are beautiful, full of fruit trees and grapevines. It was a short drive to the train station to hop on a train and spend the day in Porto (just over €4 return... far less stressful than driving in Porto!). Also there are plenty of restaurants about a 15 minute drive away in Parades and Penefiel. There's a cafe about a minutes walking distance and a fabulous wine bar a 10 minute walk away. Carmen lives on the property in a separate house and was always available to answer any queries or give suggestions on places to visit. ##### Gareth D.
