Commanding a privileged location in Douro where Trás-os-Montes meets the world-renowned Alto-Douro wine region, this renovated historic farmhouse from the 19th century sits on stunning grounds surrounded by rolling countryside and an oak forest that connects to a lovely creek.   

When the farmhouse was restored in 2010, it was transformed into a fabulous luxury rental home where its rustic exterior continues to blend with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for a relaxing vacation in the Douro Valley region.  

Inside, the home is beautifully designed with a modern, minimalist aesthetic that complements the traditional architecture. The spacious living areas are flooded with natural light, and the large windows offer breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. In addition, the luxurious spa area and indoor swimming pool is sure to bring a smile, where you can relax in the jacuzzi with views of the countryside, sweat out the last residues of stress in the sauna and do your morning laps in the pool.  

Outside, there are plenty of idyllic spaces to relax and unwind, including an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, and multiple spaces to lounge or dine, making it easy to socialize and enjoy alfresco meals with family and friends. 

Overall, this Douro Valley rental home offers the perfect combination of natural beauty, luxury, and comfort, making it an ideal destination for those looking to escape to a peaceful and idyllic retreat.

Testimonials & Reviews

starstarstarstarstar

The house is amazing! “The house is amazing! Generous, so that even with 12, it is still easy to break away and find some quiet time when desired. The 3 Master Suites are superb, and the guest wing, on the upper floor, provides accommodation for up to 8, with a lounge area. The property is huge, with a pool, sauna and Jacuzzi, as well as land swooping down to a beautiful little river with small ponds. There is also a working farm, fenced off, with donkeys, chicken, cows, sheep and goats …. [it] has everything one could possibly need for 10-15 people, including a BBQ, pizza oven, ice maker, even a sous vide cooking set. A Sonos sound system and boom boxes for outside are also available…"\ Weber Family, Bonn, Germany
