  : Place is superbly located at a high elevation overlooking the Douro Valley. Great views of the whole region down below. Watched the sun set from the balcony and it was truly beautiful. Room was well sized and the bathroom had a comfortable shower with abundant water. Francisco, the homeowner, was very hospitable. He was there in the morning to say hello and he showed us the winery in the basement. The breakfast was great, abundant and varied. We shared the living room, dining, and kitchen, and could stock things in the fridge.
  : Not much wrong honestly. One thing we did find was that the bed / mattress was not as comfortable as we hoped. Probably can solve that problem with a soft pillow top to make it easier on the back. Everything else was superb.

  : The location on top of the hill gives it an spectacular view over the river, the hills,the vineyards and Rgua. You can walk in the property between the vineyards. The pool is beautiful (the water is very cold). Delicious breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice and the orange cake. The staff was nice and helpful. The bed is quite hard but we liked it very much. Big balcony to chill and eats tapas & wine.
  : The road to get to the property pointed by GPS is quite challenging. I recommend that you approach the property via the road M600 which is much easier but longer. Walls are paper thin and you can clearly hear people in the other room so we felt little privacy (might depend on the room you get). A TV would be nice (although there is one on the common area), a little fridge would be nice (there is one in the common area but its shared and one of the other guests almost ate our things).

  : In terms of the property itself, it is clean, well managed, modern and of a high level in design. In terms of location the property is very challenged to drive to and would not recommend for anyone not of full awareness (it is near many wineries or Quintas). The staff did their best and delivered an exceptional breakfast every morning. Our stay was memorable if you can overcome the drives up and down.
  : Location was challenging

  : The view was great. Nice, hearty breakfast.
  : If you dont have a car, its problematic. Better to stay somewhere closer to town. Theres no on-site concierge to get assistance. Its a small winery but there is no wine tasting. The caretaker has extremely limited English and thinks she speaks and understands better than she does. It was very frustrating trying to communicate with her. She didnt want to use google translate. We tried communicating in Spanish which she said is the same as Portuguese, its not.
