AMAZING

When we arrived at the property, Carmen and her lovely dogs welcomed us with open arms. 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. :-)

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

Amazing pool with comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

We had an amazing holiday here. The pool is huge and the gardens are beautiful with lots of shaded areas to sit and eat. Carmen was very helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome and gave us all the privacy we needed - the perfect host. A thoroughly relaxing time and a great location for exploring nearby towns like Braga, Aveiro and Porto. A wonderful place to stay!

Isolated paradise

Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere, you need a car and knowledge of Portugese as locally taxi drivers dont speak a word of English. The bar and supermarket are with walking distance very cheap but basic.

Sossego, Verde e Azul

Embora a localização não seja a melhor, por falta de suporte turístico "local", é um espaço ideal para descansar, aproveitar o verde da natureza, e o azul da bela piscina. A repetir.

Vacances été 2020

Notre séjour chez Carmen a été très agréable. Le domaine de Carmen est propice au calme et au repos. Nous y avons trouvé tout le confort et avons profité de la piscine sans limite. A 25 min de l'aéroport et à 20 min du centre de Porto, le domaine est idéalement situé. Carmen est une personne très accueillante. Dès notre arrivée Carmen nous avait préparé un panier bien garnis (pains, confiture, lait...) qui nous assurait un bon petit déjeuner le lendemain matin ! Carmen est une belle personne qui sera en soucis de votre bien-être ! Une chose est sure, nous reviendrons ! Jean-Sylvain et Madison

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.
