Joao’s place was fantastic. Joao himself, was extremely helpful and kind. He even drove us to the market our first night, after getting in late. The house was a lovely vacation for our group, we even extended our stay an extra night it was so great. The pool was a fun touch, and Joao provided charcoal so we could grill each night out on the patio with a view of the Douro River. I would highly suggest this stay, and would love to make it back to this beautiful place in Portugal.
