interesting house in a beautiful setting

We (a family with adult "children") stayed here for 2 nights in July. A very spacious, comfortable home, with many interesting features. Although old in its structure, everything worked well, and according to plan (as advertised). The house is in a small village with (apparently) no shops or restaurants - apart from an upmarket hotel. This makes for a very peaceful, relaxing stay, but could (potentially) be a little frustrating if you forget to buy something, or do not want to self-cater. The house is almost surrounded by vineyards, with stunning views over the Douro valley, and its surrounding area. The sounds are ony as you would expect in a rural setting.

Elle est idealement située dans un charmant village au milieu des vignes et bien placée pour visiter le haut Douro . L'accueil des proprietaires est tres sympa et efficace , nous y avons passé un super séjour et nous reccomandons cet hebergement

Un vrai moment de détente

Le lieu de l'hébergement, au cœur des vignes fait bénéficier d'une belle vue sur la vallée du Douro. Promenade en train ou en bateau permettent de profiter de panoramas exclusifs. La proximité d'un hôtel haut de gamme avec services, à 5 mn à pied, offre à cet hébergement un plus grâce aux piscines et prestations de soins. (Il faut demander le prix au propriétaire car ce n'est pas compris dans le prix de la location). Merci Fortunato pour votre attention à notre bien être lors de notre séjour.

Vacaciones Semana Santa 2018

La casa es un reflejo de la descripción proporcionada en la pagina web. La situación es muy buena, ya que la autovía está a escasos kilómetros y te permite moverte rápidamente a las distintas ciudades que hay alrededor. Aunque lo más interesante es circular con tranquilidad por las carreteras del valle del Duero; que es una maravilla. Tuvimos la mala suerte de estar acompañado estos días por la lluvia, lo que supuso que la casa tuviera un poco de humedad, ya que la calefacción es por radiadores eléctricos. En Primavera y Verano, debe ser una delicia estar en la terraza contemplando las vistas. Recomiendo esta propiedad, para disfrutar del entorno donde se encuentra, que es una pequeña aldea totalmente tranquila y con unos vecinos muy amables. Juan Carlos

Traditionelles Dourohaus

Sehr schönes Haus im traditionellen Baustil des Douro. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet, ebenfalls die einzelnen Zimmer. Platz ist genügend vorhanden. Alles in allem eine gute Adresse für Erkundung des Dourotals.
