We rented Casa da Alvarinha for a bachelor week-end. The house was perfect to host us 10, and the configuration was great with the living rooms and kitchen on one floor and all the bedrooms on the other.
It's a really nice country home and we enjoyed sitting around a fire inside and outside, the view from the terrace, the swimming pool, and the garden. Porto is really close and so are the Quintas and other fun activities we had planned.
Ana was a fantastic host, very friendly, she welcomed us warmly and went the extra-mile, organizing a tasting for us. So as soon as everyone had arrived we had a taste of Portugal with 8 different wines and porto, and some local products to pair with (I highly recommend asking her if she can do this again if you book this, because it's quite a unique and great experience to enjoy a tasting of Portuguese wines this way). She then helped us order food from a local restaurant and get it delivered.
I'm super happy with our booking, the house and Ana exceeded out expectations and I'm happy we chose this house. I would book again in a heartbeat.
