We stayed 5 days at Filomenas from 29th September. The welcome was so warm and genuine. Filomena's place is a pocket of Eden and innocence. Surrounded by spectacular green hills and just a few mins from the beautiful river Douro. Beds comfy. Rooms spacious. Kitchen and bathrooms of highest standard. Spotlessly clean. Our daughter loved playing with the family pets including two gentle dogs, a family of goats and the horse. There were also sheep ducks and geese and chickens. We enjoyed the gardens with ripe melons, figs and apples in season. A beautiful and child safe garden to explore with three swings a roundabout and enchanted tree-house. Filomena made us wonderful meals. Roasted cod with chunks the size of your fist with veggies and salads from the garden. There is no reason to stay in a hotel or look any further. Stay here. You will be telling your friends to visit next.
