Soar like an eagle from its dramatic aerie, this Douro Valley rental home leaves you with the sensation of flying high above the meandering curves and classic vine terraces of the great Douro River. From this vantage point, you can see the glorious vineyards and golden river valley below for miles and miles, leaving no doubt as to why the BBC claims this region provides the “best river view in the world”. Surrounded by drama, with an undeniable sensation of freedom and space, this sleek and impressive home makes quite the impact! 

Reached via an electronic gate and surrounded by lush vineyards, the aerodynamic home, almost indistinguishable from the green surroundings, appears to be at one with nature. Jaw-dropping views meet dramatic architecture, natural light bathes the home and large push-back glass windows throughout let nature flood in. Utilizing natural local materials like flint, slate and hardwoods, while an urban colour palette compliments the surroundings, a sophisticated, two storey, top-of-the-world retreat is revealed. 

Outside, a large pool with a grassy lawn is upstaged by the stunning surroundings, making an amazing place to spend sunny days and sunset watching. 

A simply superb home for those looking for top style, sophistication, and unforgettable memories.

A large open living and dining room focusses on the views whilst the sleekest of kitchen would make a to-die-for Iron Chef episode. Well-equipped and surrounded by glass, it's hard to concentrate on cooking with the ever-changing scenery. 

A basement full of fun areas for games, alfresco ‘’picnic’’ style dining with BBQ and oven, spa and even a wine cellar carved into the rock mean that even when the view has slipped from vision there is plenty to see and do. 

Bedrooms are all located along a corridor and side by side sharing the same views and outdoor patios. The master suite can be found at the far end with an exceptionally peaceful private garden, plenty of space and large bathroom.  

All rooms follow the same sleek design pattern, meaning nobody will be disappointed! 

An additional cabin can be found in the vineyards a short walk from the main house which can provide additional accommodation for a larger group, or an independent suite for those looking for more privacy. Best described as an independent studio surrounded by nature offering a living area with open fireplace, kitchenette (hob, small sink, fridge and microwave) and floor-to-ceiling sliding windows overlooking the vines.

Exceptional Service and Luxury with Stunning Views "Everything was perfect. If anything wasn't, it was quickly and politely fixed. Fine details were appreciated. Our youngest boy does not sleep in a crib anymore, but Tripwix and the property owner had one available for us upon arrival just in case and this shows the level of care and attention they provide. Pedro was an amazing concierge. He gave us a great tour of the house and helped us locate food and groceries after a long trip. I had planned most of our trip, but he helped fill in some gaps in my planning and gave great advice on all the best experiences. The views alone are worth visiting this property but the home, the grounds, the pool are all exceptional. You can enjoy seclusion and luxury all while being a short trip to vineyards, the river… It was the best of everything. Our family didn't want to leave, and we may very well come back!"

Tripwix and Pedro – they are absolute legends Our trip to Portugal would be impossible without Tripwix and Pedro – they are absolute legends. While we had an idea of what we wanted to do in Portugal, things became clear after talking with Pedro and booking his curated experiences. Pedro was the local team member we did not know we needed - our copilot every step of the trip planning process. He went above and beyond from personally meeting us, to spending an afternoon with us at the mercado. We have already recommended Tripwix to multiple friends looking for vacations in Portugal, Mexico and the Caribbean. Keep doing what you all do because it is truly highest level!
