We absolutely loved our stay in this lovely house! The hosts greeted us with fruit and vegetables from their garden, and the coffee machine makes the best coffee I had the entire vacation. The grounds were just gorgeous and the view was incredible - even more lovely than the pictures, if that's possible. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs on the patio and watching the boats on their way to wine tours along the Douro river. The pool was great, and the family thoughtfully stocked wood for the barbecue. Finally, they are very talented gardeners, and invited us to help ourselves to oranges, apples, and lemons from their trees, as well as tomatoes, fresh herbs, and passion fruit. We had delicious fresh juice every morning. It's an easy 30 minute drive to Porto (you'll definitely want to rent a car here) and a wonderful local restaurant in walking distance (though down/up a steep hill). We would love to come back one day very soon.
