The house had all the amenities necessary for a holiday with a family of various ages, in particular teenagers.
The accommodation was excellent and the layout and facilities of the house and its grounds made the best of the location.
The driveway in and out could be a bit daunting for some at first.
Our stay was enjoyed by all the family.
A beautifully situated and gloriously remote riverfront villa with direct access onto the Douro for swimming, paddle-boarding and kayaking. The house and grounds are fabulous, well maintained and equipped, incredibly spacious (the photos on the listing don’t do it justice) and the location is peaceful with spectacular views of the river and mountain side opposite.
Plenty of lovely Portuguese towns, vineyards and sites of interest are within an hour’s drive of the villa. The town of Marco de Canaveses (about a 20 minute drive) has plenty of good supermarkets if you are largely self-catering.
Helpful information on restaurants, wine tasting vineyards and local Boat tours is provided by the owners in the villa.
The owners are very helpful and any queries before and during our stay were answered quickly.
We were a party of 9 - four adults and 5 kids aged 6-14 and we had a wonderful time! Idyllic and private location, wonderful (beautifully equipped) villa topped off with riverside access. Super super holiday and Celia (the owner) and her parents (who were there to welcome us with her friend Martin to translate) were both charming and always available when we had any questions. The neighbours were also lovely - after an electrical storm we couldn’t find the trip box for the downstairs electrics but they came down and made us good! Thanks to all and we hope to see you all next year!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa in its absolutely beautiful location. We had a few difficulties finding it initially, but once there were very happy. The villa is well equipped and comfortable, and the pool and grounds well kept. We did not tire of watching the daily activities on the river, or the wildlife. The family owners were also very nice, as were the local neighbours that we came across during our stay. We would definitely be tempted to return.
This is an amazing house on an amazing property. The house is well appointed and spacious. The pool is enormous, and overlooks the river. We enjoyed watching the tour boats go up and down the river, and passing the goats and chickens on the road. The host has made it very comfortable. The only downside is it is an extremely twisty and steep road down to the house. But totally worth it for the serenity upon arrival.
