Yes, this little unit does have a beautiful view, as the pictures promised, and which we enjoyed. But we would recommend this place for young backpackers passing through, not travellers wanting to settle in for a few days. We had been told about the very steep and narrow access road so our taxi dropped us off above the road, but finding the house was a real challenge - the number is hidden behind a lamp. The unit was clean but spartan. You couldn't even make a cup of coffee there: no coffee cups, let alone a usable coffee maker. No utensils or containers for the microwave either. Only one bath towel for two of us, but there was only enough hot water for half a shower anyway, so that balanced out. But, in retrospect, it was lovely to sit out watching the sun rise with our glass of water and emergency cereal bars and enjoy the beauty of the Douro River.
