Wine country. Beautiful setting, peaceful and surrounded by nature and grapevines. Fabulous accommodations, lots of attention to details. Apartments with living room, kitchen, tv and great bathrooms. Plenty of hot water. Everything clean and neat. Quality beds, sheets, towels etc. Everything works including very fast Wi-Fi, even by the fantastic natural swimming pool (no chemicals at all) with great views of the mountains and river. Very attentive and friendly host Tiago, owner and producer of delicious totally bio-organic wines (only fermented grapes). He will give a tour of his historic family house and of the vineyards explaining in detail the natural production method with no chemical fertilizers or herbicides. Red, white, rosé or Porto wines. No hungover whatsoever. Varied and plentiful vegan breakfast with variety of fruits grown in the property. Nice trails for great walks. Lots of places to visit in the surrounding areas. Nearby villages and markets. Very European. Ample parking. Will definitely come back.

Stunning, beautiful and magical place - we loved our stay. Daniella is a fabulous host and the property and its location are just gorgeous. Lovely walks and drives in the surrounding area. Breakfast and the evening meals were all very good, brought to our studio and enjoyed in our private terrace. Great pool and large, very comfortable room. Very pleased to have found just an enchanting place. Highly recommended.

If you want to see the Douro Valley - this is the place. The view from the balcony is amazing, also from the pool. The way to Pinhao village is the best of the area. I liked the village Celerios - so cute and quiet but with two cafes. There was also a great restaurant nearby (Quinta doPortal) with excellent food and wine. The beds were comfortable and we found the air-conditioning very helpful and the possibility to cool down in the great pool with this extremely hot weather we had. There was also some touristic and practical informtion on the area, some even in Polish! The palce is incredibly quiet and relaxing. There are some nice walking trails around to discover.

Exceptionally well maintained property. Stunning views all around with amazing garden and vineyard perfect for a short walk. Matteo was fantastic during the visit and tasting in answering thoroughly all our questions and offering a genuine service. Will surely visit again.
