Douro Valley Visit

Communication prior to our visit was very good. Information was provided that was very helpful. The house was very beautiful and the view from the property was beautiful as well. The outside grounds were well maintained and the pool was very well kept. We had no issues during our stay, so did not have the need to communicate with Marcia and anyone during our 3 night stay. Would recommend.

Un très bon séjour dans une agréable maison

Nous avons été très bien accueillis dans la maison, par l'intermédiaire de Marcia qui a piloté notre arrivée à distance, en anglais, avec ses parents sur place, propriétaires de la maison, qui ne parlent que le portuguais. La maison, au calme, est très bien située, avec une vue magnifique sur les montagnes. Un très beau jardin, une belle piscine, des espaces très agréables pour vivre dehors, protégés du soleil. L'intérieur est simple mais confortable. Deux chambres sont spacieuses, la troisième, petite, est plus sommaire et manque notamment de prises électriques. Elle convient pour des enfants, moins pour des adultes, a fortiori si c'est un couple. Il n'y a qu'une salle de bain à l'étage (avec des toilettes). Au rez-de-chaussée il s'agit de toilettes et d'un lavabo. Mais il y a une salle d'eau supplémentaire à l'extérieur, près de la piscine, avec une douche et des toilettes également. Pendant notre séjour, Marcia et ses parents ont été très à l'écoute pour fournir les équipements qui nous ont manqué au démarrage de notre séjour. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour.

Beautiful place with much privacy!

A very beautiful rural spot with lots of rest and privacy. Very well maintained and cleaned garden, private swimming pool and house! We loved the porch! We relaxed here for 5 days after visting Porto and Lisboa. Great house and hospitality. It would have been paradise if there was a nice restaurant just around the corner. But the rest compensated enough!!

Casa muy tranquila, muy bien equipada y soleada. Ideal para pasar unos dias con la familia.

Aunque mi estancia fue corta, solo dos dias, fue muy buena. Casa muy tranquila, ideal para ir con los peques y disfrutar de la piscina y la barbacoa. Los propietarios son muy amables y te ayudan en lo que puedan, muy buena estancia.
