If your are looking for a place to get away from the daily stress, stop looking :-). House is great with a lot of space. Outside is really fabelous with the Douro and a garden with pool. We took every possibility to eat outside, where you have big tables and big umbrella's for the sun and of course a well equipped BBQ and oven. There is a canoe available to explore the Douro. The hammock is nice and makes is the relaxation even better. A 10 minute drive brings you to the river-beach. There is a little bakery next to the local pharmacy. A supermarket is a 20 min drive, but you have 2 big fridges and a freezer. Could it be better? If I think hard, maybe a micro-wave in the kitchen and a stronger internet signal on the second floor. 2 of the 4 bedrooms have no reception.
We had a personal note and a welcome basket full of goodies and a bottle of wine when we arrived. And on top you get Eric. He shows you around and gives you tips and places to visit, and keeps contact to see if everything is ok and if you need something. He does it with whatsapp so you can read it and answer it as you please.
Great experience, nice place to visit.
