"Everything was spot on! Only problem was being able to initially find the property as I had difficulty driving and looking at google maps at the same time and not being conversant in Portuguese. Thankfully we were rescued by the owner as there was a main road closed not marked. Afterwards, things were great!"

"Amazing house set in a peaceful and private location with breathtaking views over Duero valley. Photos just do not do it justice. We had the most perfect 2 weeks with our family. The house was very comfortable and home from home. Our hostess Sofia was extremely gracious, kind and attentive when required and very generous in treating us with the local samples of vintage port and various cakes which was much appreciated Thank you for opening your home for us to holiday!"

"Lugar calmo para uns dias de descanso."

"Simple but nice and very clean?"

"We were two couples who stayed for 5 nights in Patricia’s beautiful villa and it wasn’t long enough! Patricia is a fabulous Hostess, so helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. She went over and above to make us feel comfortable with the accommodation and area. The villa is in a stunning rural location, and has the most spectacular views of the Douro valley and river from every room in the house. It is very spacious and extremely well equipped with every possible amenity inside and...

"The location of this villa is ideal if you want to separate yourselves from crowds and drink in nature and peaceful views. An absolutely perfect setting to gather with friends or family and enjoy leisurely meals while overlooking a beautiful valley. I highly recommend this place and the host. The host is quick to communicate and was a gracious host the five days we were there. Unobtrusive and but helpful. If you get that chance to stay here, do! You won't regret it."

"A beautiful renovation of an old existing hillside farmhouse into a combination of very modern and original features. Excellent accommodation with five en-suite bathrooms, a stunning lounge area and a chef's kitchen. Glass walls to the SE side of the accommodation to provide stunning views over the garden, hillsides and down to the Douro. Early morning fog bands make it very atmospheric. Highly recommended, but it is down the end of a long narrow lane. So travelling in a full-size car is a...

"Our stay was made especially pleasant by the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner. He could not have been better. Because it was an old stone house the availability of electrical outlets for charging phones etc and for appliances was very limited. Perhaps the charm of an old house. The swimming pool was a wonderful attraction on hot days."

"Host was wonderful. Very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. Complimentary water, wine, iced tea and Portugal pastry. Highly recommend."

"This is an amazing house on an amazing property. The house is well appointed and spacious. The pool is enormous, and overlooks the river. We enjoyed watching the tour boats go up and down the river, and passing the goats and chickens on the road. The host has made it very comfortable. The only downside is it is an extremely twisty and steep road down to the house. But totally worth it for the serenity upon arrival."

"Quinta do Loureiro is truly spectacular! The home, the property, the views! We originally booked for 3 nights but stayed one more (so happy it was available) and I still couldn't bear to leave. Francisco and Teresa are such gracious and welcoming hosts, a beautiful couple, warm and friendly, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that we were well taken care of and that our stay was perfect. My husband and I loved every second and will cherish the memories for a lifetime. Even...

"It was a great location for our extended family. Miguel provided detailed ideas for areas to explore and we took advantage of a Duoro sunset river cruise that was stunning! The "kids" (11-25) engaged in a ferocious competition including foosball, ping pong and billiards. Swimming pool w salt water was refreshing (though slightly dirty), grounds with multiple fruit trees were fun to explore. AC was not functioning in one room and suboptimal in another, AC repair was unsuccessful, but fans were...

"Simpatia extrema do Sr. José, aliada a uma localização de tirar o fôlego fizeram com que nem a chuva tornasse a nossa semana de férias aborrecida."

"The home was great, the neighborhood not so much. Luckily we rented a car so we were able to drive to downtown Porto, without that we would’ve been in a tough spot."

"Lovely breathtaking views and nice modern amenities made for a great stay. Responsive and friendly caretaker let us in and replied to questions immediately. Quite secluded and peaceful and about 25 minutes from Regua. Typical country roads to reach it required careful driving. It was a nice base to come home to after a long day of sightseeing, relax and enjoy the evening"

"This really is a beautiiful villa.....so spacious, lots to do and very well equipped. We enjoyed the tennis court, pool, billiards and gorgeous setting. Comfortable beds! Mario was great as a host, could not have asked for more - very responsive, flexible, caring and just at the end of what'sapp on the couple of times needed. We hired a car to give us some extra flexibility which worked for us but it is really easy and cheap to pick up ubers locally and from Porto back to the villa. As said in...
