Monica was an incredible host! Truly wonderful stay in every aspect - we even got to enjoy the First Communion festivities going on at the local church. Casa de Mellares is a top-notch airbnb accommodation with a stellar view, well-equipped kitchen, amazing patio overlooking the Douro River and beautiful shower/bathroom. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an up-scale authentic Portugal experience. Great for families who want to set up a base close to Porto, close to the Douro Valley and Portugal's north.
