Big villa, good for large group

The property has an attractive top floor and good seating outside and lovely views of the Douro. It’s billed as being ideal for families who want to holiday together but have their own space but this isn’t really the case. There are no facilities downstairs at all, no fridge, bin, kettle for example. So living separately isn’t possible. The pool is a good size and a lovely addition to the property. The villa isn't 15 minutes from Porto, nearer 25 +, also please be aware that parking in Porto in summer is very challenging so plan accordingly. Liliana was very helpful, and used google translate to great effect, she cooked for us which was great but do check costs before hand as it escalated and double the food ended being prepared (and paid for) than was requested. All in all, it's a good place for families who very much want to holiday together. Portugal was lovely and the area is very pretty. We visited local river beaches and the supermarket in Medas is a useful place to do a big shop.

Fantastic trip

We’ve had such a lovely stay at this lovely villa. It’s a very quiet area, with lovely views of the river. We were 3 families staying for the week, we thoroughly enjoyed the (heated!) pool everyday, we had a couple of days wakesurfing on the river Douro and a couple of trips to the beach and river beach. we also thoroughly enjoyed a cooked meal at the villa by Alda, she is a very talented chef. Check in and out process was seamless with a very smiley welcoming Alda meeting us at the property. Thanks again, we hope to be back one day.

Obrigado!

Just returned home from a fantastic week in Portugal. This property has the most stunning views of the river, it really was the wow factor when we woke up on the first morning! Great for a large group and well equipt, perfect location just 5 mins off the morotway with quick access to Porto and local beaches and Amarante water park 30 mins away. Would definitely recommend 🙂

Relaxing location

The property is in a very relaxing and quiet location overlooking the river. It is remote so you need to drive to everything. The house was very clean when we arrived and is set up with all you need. There are even toys etc for kids. The pool and garden are well maintained and tidy, a gardener and pool cleaner came throughout our stay. The house is well equipped. The kitchen is a bit tired and a bit packed with too many duplicate items, or broken things that could be cleared out to make more cupboard space. It did have all that we needed for cooking and plenty of crockery and cutlery. The BBQ was left very dirty and we spent some time cleaning it to be able to use it, then didn’t in the end so the next people at least gain a clean BBQ. There is no parking in front of the house, although you can pull up to unload. You park by the harbour which is just around the corner. Our main concern in the house was the lack of air conditioning. On reading that air conditioning was included, we would expect it to be throughout but it was only in three of the six bedrooms and no living areas, so stating this would make the property description more accurate. Luckily for us, it was not too hot and there is often a good breeze from the river. The independent area, really was a separate apartment underneath the main villa, with no connecting doors or stairs without going through the outside gate. It would be very suited to two families wanting to holiday together but maintaining some of their own space, and sharing the garden/pool areas. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and apart from the lack or air conditioning, were very happy with the house and would recommend it to others.

Beautiful view over the river and a spacouis house with most of the required amenities.

The place is quiet (despite the noise of the motorway nearby) and peaceful. A delightful swimmingpool and playing objects for children. We have been searching the adress for one hour, the adress is hard to find !

Estupenda casa con piscina y vistas maravillosas

A la llegada nos esperaban para explicarnos todo, y había en el salón un obsequio de bienvenida (que no es habitual). Las habitaciones bien, las camas cómodas. La cocina bien equipada. Tan solo faltaba mobiliario de exterior, había sólo para 8 personas, pero nos permitieron sacar sillas del salón. La piscina con vistas al Guadiana espectacular. Pasamos unos días estupendos, la recomendamos.
