Mountain house in Alto Douro Portugal.

We stayed in this wonderful house for 4 nights and could not have been happier! The view is gorgeous and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The weather was very hot and we enjoyed the pool immensely. It was a great area in which to explore the Douro Valley. Jose was full of suggestions and tips and had lots of maps, guides, etc. available. Lamego was delightful and very close by. Also 2 large grocery stores not far away for everything you need. This place is a little slice of heaven. Great if you want to leave the real world behind and get away. (Although the wifi and TV worked great.) Many thanks to Jose for the warm Portoguese welcome for our first trip to this amazing country.

More picturesque in real life!

Peaceful in the day with a stunning view and atmosphere in the evening.

I only hope that I can return again to experience the pleasure of your cabin, Jose.

Stunning view in a stunning location. This Beautifully restored cottage offers every comfort and is well situated to take in the Douro Valley. Jose the owner is convivial,welcoming and helpful, he goes the extra mile to ensure your visit is a success in every way. A car is a must. We have wonderful memories to take home to Australia with us...thankyou Jose!

We wanted a place to get away from it all. We couldn't have found a better place if we'd searched for years and years.

The pictures on the web site don't do justice to seeing the real thing.

The owner Jose is a lovely guy who would do anything he could to make your stay the best it could be.

The cottage has everything you need for that stress free holiday your looking for, Satellite TV (but to be honest the view out of the window is far better than anything on the TV) Good Internet connection, Swimming pool is spotless, the cottage is well situated for travelling to all the beautiful places around. But after being out getting back to the cottage is never a disappointment, just get yourself a glass of wine or a beer and sit on the patio by the pool and watch the sun go down listening to the bird song all around you, before going down into Lamego for a lovely meal at one of the many restaurant/bars.

I hope this review gets across how much we enjoyed our stay there, but don't take my word for it, just book it and experience it for yourself.

Ps. Jose if you want a maintenance man to look after the place for you, just give me a call I'll be there as fast as I can.

The mountain house commands a magnificent view from the living room and the furnishings and fittings throughout are excellent for a pronged stay. The swimming pool is kept spotlessly clean and by mid afternoon comfortably warm. The phone, Wi-fi and TV receptions are good. The extensive grass area and flower beds around the house are well kept and the steep paved track down from the road above is soon mastered.The location of the farmhouse is convenient for shopping in/visiting beautiful Lamego and exploring historic sites, boat cruises and rail excursions in the Rio Douro and for port wine tasting. The landlord, Jose, who lives in a farmhouse nearby is exceedingly hospitable, obliging and speaks excellent English. I strongly recommend a stay at this hideaway and I shall return myself before long. Sandy
