Rural Retreat Suspended Between Vineyards And The River

Luxe lounging and dining take place on the patio and the “great room” with lots of squidgy, cracked leather sofas, games tables, reading and relaxing areas. One yearns to snuggle against the chilly evenings around the dramatic indoor fire feature yet enjoying the mellow evening light in the open air is just as appealing.  

The kitchen/bar is open plan with an array of great snacks offered throughout the day. A large, wooden deck runs the length of the great room – perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing and general scenery contemplation.  

Meals are taken in the great room and deck or poolside.  

All bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully thought through and equipped with every attention to detail: automated blackout blinds, eco-friendly clean gas fireplaces… even lavender sachets next to the pillows.  

All rooms face the river and have lovely sweeping views. Each one has its own private balcony with chaises – perfect for taking a Portuguese siesta or savoring a fantastic glass of Vallado wine.
