Elsa's place can only be described in superlatives. The Quinta da Agraceira is an incredibly interesting property laced with steep winding paths and terraces, magnificent views, fruit and nut trees and gurgling streams of water. The house is comfortable and charming. the pool idyllic, the outdoor spaces offer great views of the Douro and it's occasional boat traffic. This is a fantastic place to chill out and relax in or use as a base to explore the Porto area and the Douro Valley. Elsa is a most gracious and enthusiastic host constantly surprising us with local breads and pastries. We couldn't have had a more enjoyable visit!
