Peaceful country house in the Vinho Verde region.

This was a very nice, authentic stay in the Douro Valley region. The owner/host is very attentive and responsive. It was nice to have a 4 night resting place for this part of our Portugal trip and gave us a chance to relax and do laundry. View from the back patio is spectacular and bathroom has been updated and remodeled. The location ended up being a bit more remote than we expected and I should have reviewed the map closer to see how far it was to drive to the Vila Real wine region. But all in all it was a wonderful house with good amenities and friendly, helpful people all around!

Beautiful location but needs work!

Beautiful location but the house and grounds need some work. Cleaning of kitchen and outdoor space is needed.Fatima was a lovely lady but unfortunately our stay was not pleasant due to lack of firewood to keep the house warm and no working shower, so we checked out 3 days early.

Lovely Duoro Valley Experience

Fatima was a gracious host! Beautiful home with stone walls. Gave a great Portuguese experience. Lovely view!! Only wish it was warmer to use the pool! We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio sipping our Porto, taking in the view to the smell of orange blossoms! Truly lovely!

Beautiful House With A Spectacular View

This is the ideal place to experience the Douro. The house was very lovely with everything we needed. It’s perfect for a family visit! It was a bit chilly for the pool but it would be nice to use in the summer for sure! Our gracious host was very attentive and provided everything we needed.

Retired couple who spent 2 weeks touring Portugal and loved our 3 days at this property. It was, by far, our most authentic lodging, making us feel connected to the home and region. It is as described, a unique home set high up the bluff from the river and literally carved out of the stone. While there, we took the train into Porto (an easy trip but skip the CP website and buy your tickets on the train) for a day and also spent an entire afternoon on the terrace enjoying the sun and the gorgeous view of the Douro valley. The roads and villages around it are scenic and lightly traveled. This is a great place for those seeking peaceful and natural surroundings and who value getting a little separation from the crowds yet being close enough to still enjoy them. Fatima gets 6 stars for her communication and warmth.

Douro dream

Fatima welcomed and attended to us as if we were family. Deonilde delivered fresh bread in the morning and did our laundry. The view was spectacular, especially poolside. Well equipped kitchen, two modern bathrooms and yes, the Wifi works! Other than the first night dinner out, we enjoyed eating on the lovely terrace.

Canadians abroad!

Everything was great. We had someone meet us at the house to open up and give us a tour. We were offered fresh bread to buy and have it dropped off in the morning which was lovely. We did not realize how far out this place was, but loved it when we got there. What a stunning view of the river and surrounding area. We took the train op the river to enjoy other parts of the region, so really felt like we had the full emersion.

Cozy and Cute

We rented Fatima’s guesthouse for five nights in June and it was wonderful! It’s a quaint typical Portuguese home with interesting authentic features. The house stayed mostly cool even through a heatwave of four 40 degree days! The pool has an incredible view of the Douro river and valley. The caretaker Donehilde was so kind and helpful and keeps the property looking amazing. Fatima took the time to come and meet us on our second day and was so responsive to all our questions via WhatsApp. A local baker delivered us a half loaf of fresh bread to the front gate each morning for 1 euro/day. A heavenly stay, 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Uriges, tolles, sehr sauberes kleines Haus mit einem phänomenalen Blick auf den Duoro. Die Vermieterin Fátima war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Es blieb keine Anfrage unsererseits offen. Vielen Dank noch einmal für alles.

Well situated, spacy and lots of rustic charm

We loved our short stay! We are a family of five and were looking for a short visit to the region. You find everything you need in the apartment. It suits 5 people. The pool is very nice and the Douro valley offers some great views. you have a mini market in the village nearby. Ines is very helpful if you have any questions. The housekeeper (Deonilde) will even bring you bread in the morning for a small fee. Thanks for everything.

local calmo, tranquilo e muita hospitalidade por parte dos anfitriões

A sra Fátima recebeu-nos muito bem, uma sra muito simpática e prestável, deu-nos valiosas informações sobre os pontos a visitar e restaurantes. A casa está bem decorada, sendo que mantém muitas das características originais das casas mais antigas da zona. A piscina tem uma vista espectacular sobre o douro e é um local de excelência para passar uma tarde de relaxamento e tranquilidade. É um local tranquilo e sossegado, por perto e para qualquer situação mais urgente está a sra Deonilde que é responsável pela manutenção do local. Na propriedade encontram-se algumas árvores de frutos, a sra Fátima deixou-nos à vontade para colher algumas frutas que poderíamos consumir durante a estadia, aproveitamos para usar dois ou três limões e umas seis maças, sendo que usamos o bom senso e não retiramos mais, para que outros viajantes pudessem também usufruir do mesmo na sua estadia. Deixo apenas uma sugestão que poderá ser útil para estadias mais prolongadas: a instalação da máquina de lavar roupa que evitaria idas à lavandaria (no entanto, encontra-se uma lavandaria self service em Baião no Intermarché), para qualquer urgência há um tanque disponível para lavar roupa à mão. Enquanto lá estivemos fizemos algumas refeições fora de casa, pelo que devo referir que a Taberna do Ressaio nos impressionou bastante, é um local de preço bastante acessível, que serve petiscos e tapas, mas que serve refeições mais elaboradas desde que se telefone com antecedência e se faça uma reserva. O vinho era de muito boa qualidade tal como a comida, doses generosas, e atendimento 5 estrelas.
