Very peaceful, Beautiful old house

We stayed for 3 nights. Beautiful old house, view of water below was so lovely. Enjoyed the pool but it was a little late in the year so it was just a little cold for us at our age. We still did get into it twice. Kitchen had all the pots and utensils we needed. We would love to stay here again when in Portugal.

Beautiful Stone House and Property

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children aged 9&12) absolutely loved this 150 year old stone house! The location was beautiful, quiet and secure. Check-in and communication with the property owners over WhatsApp was easy and efficient. Miguel and his father Alexandre were incredibly kind and hospitable. The house was lovely and had an amazing infinity pool with a gorgeous view of the Tâmega river. We really enjoyed using the kayak, SUP boards and relaxing in the hammocks. The house and property were well maintained and tranquil. We could not have chosen a better place to stay - my kids are still raving about it! We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Douro Valley

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this home in Douro Valley. This is one of the nicest and most unique places we’ve ever stayed. Miguel was so kind and left Port, flowers and treats for us! The property is beautiful with flowers and fruit trees everywhere. We enjoyed use of the kayak and private pool - view is stunning. The stone walls throughout the house add to the charm. Would stay again!

Paradise in the valley

We spent 5 weeks in Portugal, touring much of the countryside, and this homestay was our absolute favourite, hands-down. Perched on the riverside, this fantastic stone house and infinity pool had all the amenities that you need for an extended stay. The hosts, Miguel and Alexandre were very friendly and excellent communicators. We took the local train to Porto for a day (60 minutes each way, ran every hour) and could not wait to get back to our home in the valley! This property is a true countryside experience, has it all, including paddleboards and a three-person kayak. We highly recommend this property and will be back for an extended visit next time. Thanks M+A!

Perfect retreat

We really loved this place. Felt like a proper family home and in the most beautiful and peaceful of surroundings . So many nice touches, a pot of fresh herbs outside the kitchen door, a great barbecue, outside lights, bottle of port and hooks everywhere for wet towels. Miguel and his dad were right there to meet us and show us the way -don’t think we would have found it! We were a bit unlucky with the weather but that just meant we visited a few more places. We swam in the rain . Would recommend to anyone but think active teenagers would particularly enjoy it. Thank you, thank you

Relaxing and peaceful getaway

Very helpful hosts who communicated with us before, during and after our holiday. The villa was as described and we had a wonderful 2 week stay. The pool was the highlight for me and I spent many hours enjoying a wonderful swim with breathtaking views of the river Tamega. We made use of the kayak but didn't use the paddleboards. The kayak was really good fun. Would highly recommend.

Stunning garden, view and pool

Beautiful property, immaculately clean, extremely well equipped, very friendly and helpful owners. Unfortunately this time of year (July) use of the kayak and paddle boards risky as there is a blue-green algae problem as that section of the river Tamega is very warm and slow and it can be very toxic. Nothing the owners can do about this but aside from that minor disappointment we were delighted with our stay and would like to go again earlier in the year.

Idyllic holiday house

This property is set in beautiful lush grounds with a wonderful view across the river. If you are looking for a quiet holiday in lovely surroundings with your own private pool , big enough to swim comfortably in, then this is ideal. The house is comfortable, spotlessly clean with everything you need . Added bonus of paddle boards and kayak are a great addition and there are lots of lovely shaded area to sit when sun gets too hot!. The hosts Miquel and Alexandre are fantastic. Alexandre was there to show us to the property still with a courteous welcome even though we ended up arriving at unsociable time of 2:30 am due to a delayed flight. Both were at the end of the phone while i kept giving a later and later arrival time. Communication from them is excellent and they are happy to answer any questions . This property definitely lives up to its description and more and I would highly recommend it.

A fabulous property in a beautiful location

Where do we start. The property was set in the most stunning location. There was peace and tranquility in abundance. Our teenagers loved the use of the pool and the extensive grounds (the hammocks got a lot of use). The kayaks and paddle boards were amazing and we used these several times during our stay. Entry and exit into the river was a little tricky, but worth the effort. The property had a rustic charm, it was comfortable and clean. The wifi was excellent (a teenager's must). The addition of an outside shower room was great. The kitchen missed a cooker, but this did not hinder us, it meant we ate out more enjoying the delicious local food. Alexandre and Miguel were helpful throughout. We have certainly fallen in love with North Portugal, its towns, people, food and this property and hope to return in the future.

We loved our stay at Alexandre’s property. The house was super clean and comfortable. He was there with his son to great us and give us a tour of the property. The out door space was fantastic and beautiful! We swam in the pool, went on the river with SUP boards and the kayak. We took the nature walk to the village. We cooked on the outdoor grill and relaxed with great local wine. We had terrific weather; It doesn’t get any better than that!

Most incredible 5 days in beautiful remote isolated private property, Forrest and lake-like river!

Alexandre and his family have one of the most beautiful homes to share, truly an epic experience to wake up here for 5 mornings. The place was immaculately clean, my mother couldn't stop being amazing and she is very particular. The land around the property is beautiful, we had 4 gorgeous sunny days spent in the infinity pool and in what felt like a completely private lake with paddle boards and decent size inflatable rowing boat, life jackets as well which made it safe for everyone. We enjoyed the BBQ and oj the last cold night collected some wood and had a lovely night roasting chestnuts indoors. Waking up to the mountain fog flowing down the mountains was truly epic. Whatever the weather, this epic little hideaway has plenty to offer. We will certainly be back next year! Highly recommended.

Perfect holiday!

We stayed here for a week in September 2019. Our group consists of four adults. As agreed, Miquel was waiting for us at the meeting point some distance from the house and warmly welcomed us. Together we drove through the village and vineyards to the house. The drive down to the house was narrow and steep but as the week progressed we started to like it :-) We were fascinated for what we saw! The view over the river is amazing and the garden so beautiful with all the flowers, trees and fruits. The location gave us a peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the world. But if you miss life, shops and restaurants, you can quickly reach Marco de Canaveses, where you will find everything you need. There is also a train station with easy access to the other cities and villages in Douro Valley. We visited Peso da Régua, around 50 minutes away. The railway ran mostly on the Douro riverbank and it was most enjoyable to see the view from train. Our group enjoys cooking together and it was nice to enjoy candlelit dinners on the outdoor terrace while listening to the grasshoppers chirping. The only downside to this was that there is no oven in the kitchen. It would be a nice addition to the house and would make cooking easier. Other than that, the rest of the house met all our needs, even exceeding them. Everything was kept perfectly clean and tidy. The location is absolutely fabulous in rural area and by river Tâmega. The pool area is wonderful for relaxation and forgetting about everyday worries. Communication during out stay was efficient. If we had some questions, we got quick answers from Miguel. Thanks a lot Alexandre and Miquel! In the autumn rains and cold in Finland we will return to our memories of your lovely holiday home :-)

Peaceful stay in lovely property

Our stay here was lovely, we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of the location. The house and pool are superb, the house was very clean and was equipped with everything we needed. Alexandre was very helpful initially meeting us to show us to the house and also contactable by text which was great. If you want some peace and quiet in a rural location then it will suit you. I would also recommend a day trip to Guimaraes, which has a lovely old town and a cable car.
