The villa is huge, even bigger than it looks in the photos. Incredible views onto the Douro. We were 12 adults 1 baby which was the perfect amount without anyone having to sleep in bunk beds/sofa bed. You can walk down to the little jetty/restaurant, and we were able to get a lift to the river beach opposite from there, but you really need a car. Some lovely places to stop off driving inland or it’s about 30 min drive for day trips into Porto city. Definitely worth doing a boat trip if you can, beautiful. The pizza oven and BBQ were great fun - we ended up eating in most nights as it’s such a great space. The only downsides were (1) lots of steps - not a major problem for us as we were mainly young adults but wasn’t ideal for the toddler with us and (2) the rooms got quite hot at night (late July) with no fans or A/C. But overall loved it!
