Un precioso lugar, cuidadosamente integrado en el paisaje. Sin duda un lugar para recomendar. Verdaderamente disfrutamos de nuestra estancia en este refugio en el campo muy bien diseñado. Relación calidad-precio. Nuno es un anfitrión muy sensible.

impresionante casa tan bellamente reformado! muy cómodo, limpio ... fue un placer volver a casa ...

Cet endroit était le paradis! Malheureusement, nous ne sommes restés 1 nuit mais nous aurions aimé pouvoir y rester pendant des semaines! Il était vraiment spacieux et spacieuse, avec une grande cuisine (très bien équipée) avec des chambres magnifiques et ensuites. Le village était très agréable et nous avons passé autant de temps que nous pourrions explorer - il ya de grandes promenades ici! Clementina qui habite à côté était vraiment gentil et serviable aussi!

Uma casa perfeita num local paradisíaco. Para quem gosta da natureza associada ao conforto, aconselho vivamente!

Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen und abgelegenen Ort befindet. Dies ist ein sehr schön eingerichtet und funktional zu Hause. Nuno ist vorhanden und wir wurden sehr gut angenommen. Die Gegend ist schön, ruhig und wild.

Het huis is net zoals beschreven. Het kleine dorp is in een perfecte en rustige locatie met een groot terras om te genieten van de zonsondergang! Het huis was in goede omstandigheden passen perfect de beschrijving. Het huis is gezellig en super traditioneel een perfecte pasvorm voor haar omgeving! Nuno is altijd super reageert op alle verzoeken en Clementina (de dame die lokaal beheert voor de check-in / check out) maakte een geweldige job op het krijgen van ons geregeld en een bezoek waard elke dag! Zal zeker terugkomen in de koelere maanden (best voor trekking).

Nuno's house is realy great! You find it at the end of a small village, surrounded by beautiful nature Easy to go for a walk. Nuno's house is nice, comfortable and rather big for the four of us. Although we did not see Nuno, he was very helpful whenever we asked him something. We were welcomed by a very nice lady who took great care of us. She brought us bread, fruits etc. Thank you both. We definitely recommend this house.

Nuno tem sido muito útil antes, durante e após a reserva. Ele é uma estrela! Clementina tem sido muito bom; proporcionando-nos ajudar e nos trazendo pão, leite, suco, manteiga etc. A casa tradicional tem sido habilmente renovado, com um agradável jardim de ervas Português. O cão é adorável, embora eu não sou uma pessoa do cão (ela não vem dentro de casa, mas ela está sempre lá para recebê sua chegada). A localização é idílico (as estrelas são surpreendentes à noite) ea área circundante no Douro é bonito, especialmente com abundância de flores silvestres na primavera. Temos sido na área em setembro passado também, as cores outonais em Douro vale bem a pena uma visita também. Não se esqueça área do vinho Uneso património mundial Douro e arte rupestre 20000 anos de idade! Tivemos uma bela tempo - Muito Obrigado.

We had a great time. Home and just beautiful with stunning scenery and to top it all the owners are great people who we knew us feel at home. And always available when needed. I recommend 100%. surely we will return one day :)

hôtes de luxe; accueil attentif, amical et merveilleux. spacieuses, confortables et très belle maison. Nous avons passé un séjour fantastique. retour

Superbes vacances! Une maison super agreable avec un accueil parfait. Le propriétaire et sa famille sont géniaux ce qui donne grandement envie d'y retourner plusieurs fois! Au plaisir et merci pour votre aide et votre gentillesse!

Vitor and his mother were super friendly on arrival and departure and were always available. Also took care of in advance contact us to give us directions on how to get, which by the way is very easy. The house is in very good condition and was delivered completely clean, just like in the pictures. The pool was clean and in good working order.

Gostámos bastante da recepção cordial e a casa correspondeu completamente às respectivas! Na zona em que está situada e com o calor que se fez sentir, a piscina fez toda a diferença. Recomendo completamente e provavelmente voltarei! Fomos caminhar pelo Tua e Douro e não sentimos estar muito longe de carro.

La maison est superbe, mieux que les photos et les hôtes sont des gens très attentifs et aimables. Je suis sûr que nous reviendrons !! Je recommande à tous de venir à cette maison !! 10!

Luis his place looks exactly the same as on the pictures. It is laying in the middle of nowhere, so you really need a car. Is it a beautiful environment and we really enjoyed our stay. His parents where also very kind and helped us very good. We arrived at a saturday and everything was all ready closed but Luis his mother arranged to open the supermarket for us and that was very kind.

On a passé un super séjour chez les parents de Luis. Ils sont parmi les hôtes les plus chaleureux, accueillants qu'on on jamais rencontrés. Ils ont expliqué qu'ils aiment accueillir les gens sympas (heureusement ils nous considéraient comme tels!) et ont fait tout pour que notre séjour soit le plus confortable possible. Ils nous ont fait goûté du pain, du saucisson et du vin locaux, ainsi que du fromage fait par leurs propres mains. La cuisine était super bien équipée, puis tout le reste était tout à fait correcte aussi. En partant, ils nous ont prié de repasser leur faire coucou si jamais on était à nouveau dans le coin. Bref, notre expérience "campagnarde" n'aurait pas pu être meilleure. On finit par vouloir dire encore grand merci et à la prochaine!

Maison très agréable, spacieuse et confortable. Les parents de Luis, Natalina et Fernando sont très accueillants, chaleureux, simples et soucieux de notre bien-être tout en étant discrets. Belles ballades à faire à proximité.

Les parents de Luis sont des hôtes comme on les aime sympathique et communicatif. On gardera un très bon souvenir du lieu et de ses hôtes qui savent recevoir

Les Parents de Luis nous ont accueilli, Ils nous attendaient sur le seuil de l'entrée. Ils nous ont accueillis comme des parents, chaleureux, et de bonnes humeurs.

Das Haus ist genau wie beschrieben. Wir fanden es wirklich total cool! Es liegt wunderbar off the beaten track. Mit sehr viel Liebe gestaltet. Und eine sehr nette Gastgeberin. Und auch Parken überhaupt kein Problem. Morgens hat sie uns sogar ein frisches Brot gebracht. Alle anderen Frühstücksutensilien waren schon im Kühlschrank. Luxus pur.

We had a fantastic stay at Bairro do Casal. The house itself is very nice and well equipped. Anabela is a nice host, very helpful and she provided for us a delicious breakfast every morning. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the beautiful landscape.

Amazing place, stunningly finished and warm welcome from host!!

Luisa est très sympathique et serviable. La maison est très propre, très confortable et spacieuse. Nous avons adoré le coté vintage des salles de bains qui sont par ailleurs en très bon état et fonctionnelles. Le village est agréable bien que nous ne nous y soyons pas attardés car la maison a été notre point de chute pour la visite de la vallée du Douro sur plusieurs jours. La maison est très bien située aussi pour visiter la petite ville de Trancoso et la région autour.

Très jolie maison avec magnifique piscine très bon séjour Accueil charmant Très tranquille Très bon restaurant à proximité (meda)

Luisa est une personne adorable, elle nous a accueillis avec beaucoup d'attention. La location correspond parfaitement à l'annonce. Le village est très isolé mais les gens sont charmants. La piscine est entretenue, la maison est très grande et confortable. Proche de la vallée du Douro, nous avons découvert les alentours sans touristes !

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la maison de Luisa: un accueil chaleureux, un hôte disponible, une maison propre et au calme dans un joli petit village avec des habitants conviviaux! La piscine a ravi les petits et les grands ....Nous avons découvert une magnifique région dans le calme et loin des touristes!

Its really a place to feel good, because the rooms are very comfortable and clean. Rita and her mom were really friendly and helpful, gave us useful tips and made a wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit. Furthermore the landscape is amazing and worth a visit. 100% recommendable!

FAN-TAS-TIC ... Esta es una forma poco reseñar Casa Vermelha. En primer lugar los anfitriones - Orlando y su esposa. Orlando se reunió con nosotros en el camino y nos muestran camino a su casa, porque llegamos tarde, tiempo oscuro del día. Hubo frutas, miel, aperitivos, vid para nosotros. Fuego en la chimenea. Los anfitriones eran muy sensible, reaccionaron para cada solicitud de inmediato, ya que vivir junto a la Casa. Orlando organizó excursiones en los alrededores de su jeep. Fantástica ubicación junto al antiguo monasterio abandonado - Usted puede cayó como una parte de Juegos de Tronos escenario de película. En el lote entorno de pequeños remolques vale la pena visitar (podría ser mencionado Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Almeida, Castelo Mendo, etc.

Orlando og hans familie er ekstraordinært. Når jeg reiser til grensene skal bo i tårnet av Terrenho, og likte det så mye at alle mine venner vil bli informert huset. takk for alt. Vi er veldig takknemlig

Maison Un terrain enchanté plein de villages historiques à visiter à proximité et des paysages fantastiques. Maison avec toutes les commodités nécessaires pour quelques jours loin de l'agitation des villes. Nous avons adoré et nous y retournerons!

Orlando e sua esposa são muito atenciosos . A casa tem todo o conforto e ainda mais : produtos locais (frutas , mel , ... e um lindo ramo de flores! ) e fica num lugar calmo e ideal para descobrir a Beira. Recomendo!

Chegámos muito tarde, e Orlando foi-nos buscar à saída da estrada para não nos perdermos, teve sempre em contacto, e fez-nos sentir seguros e em casa. A nosso pedido marcou-nos o restaurante , o qual foi muito simpático, com qualidade e bom serviço! Recebeu-nos com ofertas da região, e ainda nos convidou para a recolha do mel. As camas são muito confortáveis, e tudo funcionou Às mil maravilhas. Um muito Obrigada por tudo , a esta família tão simpática à boa maneira Beirã. Nous sommes arrivés très tard, et Orlando rester sur la route pour ne pas nous perdre, toujours eu des contacts, et nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité et à la maison. À notre demande a été marquée le restaurant, pour dinner qui était très agréable, avec une qualité et un bon service! Il nous reçut avec des offres de la région, et même nous a invités à récolter le miel. Les lits sont très confortables, et tout fonctionnait à merveille. Merci pour tout à cette famille si amical We arrived very late, and Orlando was us look down the road from us not to lose, always had contact, and made us feel safe and at home. At our request was marked in the restaurant, which was very nice, with quality and good service! He received us with offers in the region, and even invited us to collect honey. The beds are very comfortable, and everything worked like a charm. A very Thank you for everything, this family friendly as the good way Beirã.

We had a nice stay in this beautiful old house. Very quiet and peaceful place. There was everything we needed for our stay. Clara is friendly and helpful. We highly recoment this house to everyone.

Sao Joao de Pesqueira is a large village in deepest rural, port wine Portugal, hovering above the Douro. Spectacular views, local port from local producers at less than 10 euros a bottle, walking opportunities and places that time forgot. The house of Clara's is a beautiful old town house in tiny pedestrianised streets. Finely and exquisitively furnished with all you could want from a real house. Comfortable sofas, beds and a quirkiness that makes the place a delight. We were blessed with sun and the balcony is ideally positioned to capture the best of it from my morning tea till the late sunset wine. A great experience of proper Portugal.

Maison exceptionnelle et chargée en histoire. Helena a fait sorte que ayons tout ce qu'il faut pendant notre séjour. La cuisine surprend car elle est ancienne mais on s'y fait très vite car il y a tout le confort nécessaire. Le village est tranquille et accueillant.

4 jours formidables dans cette superbe maison de famille, spacieuse et chargée d'histoire, au milieu du centre historique et restauré de Sao Joao de Pesqueira. Si notre hôte n'a pu nous accueillir en personne, elle nous a accompagnés par téléphone et sms tout au long de notre séjour, nous guidant et nous conseillant dans nos visites. Le village de Sao Joao, très bien placé pour visiter la magnifique région du moyen Douro, est doté de tous les commerces et restaurants, à 2 pas de la maison. Merci à Clara et à sa mère de nous avoir permis de vivre ces quelques jours à Sao Joao

We stayed for 2 days with our 2 small children (7 and 9).The house is gorgeous if you like old houses with atmosphere and a personality (which we do!). After crammed holiday apartments we were so happy to have all this space. Huge master bedroom, dining room kitchen and living room. Full of books, photographs, paintings, antique furniture. All with taste and not stuffy. There is a large outdoor terrace on the first floor with sun all day. Although we were there in August the house was not hot at all. Around the corner is the medieval town square, within 10 minutes walking there is a recently built open air swimming pool featuring famous Porto School contemporary architecture. We would have stayed longer if we would not have made other arrangements.

This is the most interesting house I've ever stayed in! It is really beautiful and funky and truly feels like an old family home. It was very cold while we were there but they gave us space heaters that kept our bedroom warm and there were lots and lots of wool blankets. There was also plenty of warm water. The location and the area were just great. I would LOVE to come back in the summer time!

We were 7 friends and there were beds for everybody. The house is very big, so we had space enough to have fun (lunch, dinner, barbacue, chat...). It is old, but clean. As we've gone in March, it was cold inside, but there is one heater (electric and gas) per room (including bedrooms and livingrooms); it was still a little bit cold, but manageable :) The town is nice. The views around it are the best things. We had a great time. Thank you for everything.

Quiero agradecer a Helena su comprensión en todo momento con nosotros y su disponibilidad. Nuestra estancia ha sido fabulosa, estupenda. Hemos disfrutado mucho de poder habitar esta maravillosa casa aunque sólo hayan sido 4 días. Nos ha encantado el ambiente, la atmosfera que hay en ella. Muy, muy contento de todo y por todo.

We had a nice time at casa Bardus. Gustavo contact ed me the day before and asked me if we were ok to share the place with two girls , for one night. We agreed mainly because we got his email only the day after, when we were due to arrive. That was not his fault as we were travelling around and couldn't check our mail. We recommend future guest to make sure the place is not share if you like your privacy.

Dear Gustavo, Thanks for a nice stay in you house and an interesting evening with you! Airbnb wants to know what could have been better: Well we fell you could have brought us a little warmer weather and less rain. Except from that everything was perfect. Best Regards Eva and Bent

Nous sommes très heureux de l'accueil qui nous a été réservé durant cette semaine à Favaios où nous nous sommes sentis à la maison. Gustavo est très sympathique et chaleureux tout en restant discret, et n'hésite pas à rendre service notamment pour suggérer des activités et des lieux à découvrir. La maison, originale et bien équipée, comporte trois chambres spatieuses et confortables avec vue magnifique sur les vignes. Favaios est un village authentique et calme, point de départ idéal pour découvrir la vallée du Douro et ses vignobles, et pour se ressourcer pendant quelques jours. Une belle expérience à recommander sans hésitation.

Gustavo's place was wonderful, and he was a great host. The house is in such a cool area and its a very well made home with lots of cool details. It's in the middle of a vineyard a little bit off the road. How many times are you going to stay in a vineyard?!!! We loved being a little bit outside the little towns of Favaois and Alijo. You get to have a more local experience than you will in the big towns around there. Gustavo's awesome cocktails and helpful advice really put this one over the top for us!

We were very glad we could stay in this beautiful house! The setting in the vineyard was great. The house was very clean. The shower was good and the kitchen was well equipped. Gustavo gave us a warm welcome and was a good host. He gave a lot of information about the surroundings. We really enjoyed our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. If you like good views and a peaceful setting, you will enjoy it as well!

Gustavo a été très accueillant. Il loge dans un petite maison à côté de celle-ci quand il la loue. La maison est situé au milieu des vignes qui proposent des jolies vues sur les coteaux du douro. La maison est vaste et agréable avec de belles baies vitrées. Elle était un poil frisquette en cette fin octobre. gustvao nous a indiqué que le bois n'avait pas encore été coupé pour l'insert. La nuit, il manque un peu d'éclairage dans le salon. Bien prendre les coordonnées GPS avant le départ pour trouver la maison.

Very beautiful, colourful, artistic place in the middle of wine yards. One can really see the effort that gustavo put into this to make this place a recreational treasure under the milkyway. Waking up with the view over the wine yards is exeptional. Perfect for a longer stay. Easy communication with the host. We felt very welcome and would defenitely recommend this lovely place.

Tres belle endroit , merci pour le porto lors de notre acceuil .

Hi Sofia, after we were acclimatized from the heat, we really enjoyed our stay in your cozy house. Just in the middle of nowhere we loved the beautiful landscape, the stillness and the very friendly people. A very good start of our vacation to Northern Portugal. Thanks from Dorien & Jarco.

Hemos pasado unos días estupendos. La casa, muy acogedora, cómoda y dotada de todo lo necesario. La atención del vecino, muy discreta y cercana. El entorno, fantástico. Un destino muy recomendable.

Our host received us personally and provided us with a complementary bottle of wine and some lovely sweet oranges. The apartment was recently and very stylishly renovated - large beautifully decorated bedrooms and a lovely spacious kitchen and veranda with a barbeque - which we fully utilized during our stay. The village itself is situated in a nature reserve, so the natural environment is breathtaking - especially in Spring - wild lavender and all manner of flowers bursting into colour everywhere. The village is very small - there is a cafe / pub where we enjoyed a drink with some of the locals, but not much else. We enjoyed birdwatching all along the Douro river to Freixa de Espada a Cinta, which is the nearest town for things like groceries and restaurants. We highly recommend this listing for a relaxed experience in the countryside.

A Sofia não foi quem nos entregou a chave por indisponibilidade, mas deixou um vizinho encarregue do assunto. Quando chegamos ao destino, tentei contactar a Sofia mas ao ligar para o seu numero o mesmo disse que não estava atribuído. Fiquei sem saber se se tinha enganado a dar o número ou se foi porque a rede espanhola já estava entranhada no meu telemóvel Mas não foram precisos muitos segundos para que as pessoas da aldeia viessem ter conosco para resolver o problema(que acabou por não ser nenhum), uma simpatia. A casa é excelente, a paisagem não tem palavras, a aldeia e habitantes fantásticos. Só temos a dizer bem. Muito obrigada pela estadia e uma boa Páscoa

Uma experiência certamente a repetir.

Très jolie maison au coeur du village de Mazouco: nos vacances ont été très reposantes au bord du Rio Douro et de riches échanges avec les habitants malgré la barrière de la langue. Obrigado pour ces magnifiques vacances !

Wer Ruhe in einer authentischen Umgebung im portugiesischen Hinterland sucht, ist goldrichtig. Mit allem, was das bedeutet: So ist der nächste Supermarkt erst in dem 12 Kilometer entfernten Ort Freixo. Aber vor Ort in Mazouco bekommt man vieles, wenn man mit den Menschen in Kontakt tritt: Orangen, Olivenöl, Wein, Portwein. Brot bringt ein fliegender Händler mit dem Lieferwagen. Ein Restaurant gibt es allerding nicht, auch hierfür ab nach Freixo, z.B. ins Restaurant Paula, wo leckerer, öliger, mit Kartoffeln überhäufter Bacalhau serviert wird (15 Euro, Portion reicht für zwei). Der aufgestaute Fluss Douro ist vom Dorf aus 400 Höhenmeter und 3 Kilometer weiter unten gelegen. Unter Bäumen kann man am Ufer picknicken, es gibt drei Grillplätze. Baden ist von einem Steg aus möglich. Die Unterkunft selbst ist im Kontrast zur archaischen Anmutung des Dorfes sehr modern. Das Steinhaus ist liebevoll restauriert und sehr sauber, es gibt zwei Bäder mit Dusche, einen kleinen Kühlschrank, aber keine Geschirrspülmaschine. Der Garten ist schön, nur hat man von dort aus keinen Blick ins Tal, den gibt es 20 Fußschritte von der Haustür aus entfernt. Die Nachbarn sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir waren für zwei Tage vor Ort, zu kurz, um die Ruhe richtig zu genießen. Genau richtig aber für einen Zwischenstopp auf einer Rundreise mit Kindern.

Casa confortável. Aldeia muito calma, excelente para descansar, mas muito bem localizada para a partir dai conhecer a região.

Un couple vraiment charmant et très accueillant. La maison profite d'un belle emplacement au bord de la rivière Douro. Le lieu est très calme et paisible à l'écart du bruit et de la pollution. Avant tout pour les amoureux de la nature.

Un petit coin de paradis sur les rives du Douro.Repos, calme et détente assurés! Le logement est d'une propreté rare, soigné , décoré avec goût! Les extérieurs sont également parfaitement entretenus! Héléna et Armando sont charmants et discrets , ils ont eu la gentillesse de nous emmener découvrir le Douro dans leur bateau, avec un petit verre de porto pour cloturer la ballade!! Pas de commerce à proximité donc prendre ses précautions pour les courses! Je recommande !!!!!!

Maria was very communicative and always a good host. We stayed there for two nights and had a wonderful walk through the wine hills and a lovely river tour on the Douro.

Notre arrivée s'est bien passée et nous avons passé un tres bon séjour dans cette maison. Maria est extremement gentille et nous avons eu tout le necessaire pour nous préparer le petit dejeuner pour le lendemain (avec des tranches de jambon ;)). Petit (grand) plus: la vue de la maison est magnifique et vous avez meme un ancien bac pour petrir le raisin en pierre sous la maison! Conseil: il faut avoir une voiture pour se balader dans le Douro et se rendre chez Maria. Merci Maria pour ta gentillesse!!

The house and location were absolutely amazing. Maria and our hostesses were so accommodating. The house itself is fantastic, spacious, on the vineyard that has the most amazing views over Pinao and the Dourou valley and river. I highly recommend. An absolute must stay.

We had a delightful visit to the Pinhaus country site and the warm welcome extended tu US by Maria (mother) and Maria ( daughter) together With an English talking friend. Everything was explained clearly and they were vere helpful in every respect. The view from the hause was superb with a beautiful view of the Pinhau/Douro valley with the vineyards and the Douro River. The apartment provided us with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And the cellar surprised us with the old vine making equipment and a door leading right into the vineyards. We were lucky to taste the VERY local vines and olives. It was just the perfect place for the 4 of us. This place was one of the main ingredients of our wonderful trip to Portugal. Thank you so much. Such a great location. Be aware that the road is Very step and narrow. We were glad to meet our host at the railway station in Pinhau and Then follow their car to the hause (5-10 minutes drive depending of the traffic) We thoroughly recommend staying here.

To stay in Maria's house is a real experience. Not only the house itself but also the close neighborhood located in the mountains with an absolutely stunning view of the Pinhão and Douro valley. We spent in Douro region three days and everything was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!

Teresa and Luis were incredibly welcoming. The house is beautiful and in a very quite part of the Douro (it's not a place to frequently come in and out of, as its down a rather winding road and about 30 minutes to the nearest town). The pool and outside space is really lovely, and they even took us on a wonderful boat trip on the river. The house is very well equipped and the recommendations they gave for restaurants/sites were excellent. They are also just very nice people.

We had a wonderful time at Marca D'Agua Chalet. The house itself is a very nice house, that is built into the natural levels of the terrain on which it is located. It has many different areas where one can relax and change the view (which in itself is very soothing and easy on the eyes) including a balcony, a barbecue area, a grass patch, a pool and a rooftop parking space. The inside also has several levels and a lot of space. We were there with two children, and we had tons of space. The house overlooks the river and have a clear view in both directions. Furthermore one can sit and gaze on the hills and vineyards on the opposite side while enjoying a nice glass of port. The house has all the necessary amenities and more - and all is in good condition and fully equipped. In short - this is by far the best house we have ever rented, and we had the best time there. As a host, Luis and his family were super nice people. They made us feel very welcome and combined with the quality of the house and the area around it we had an excellent start to the stay - a feeling that never went away during our stay. Their positive attitude and willingness to help out with even the smallest things is extraordinary. And the way they did so was in no way intrusive or shallow - it was natural and heartfelt. The pool is excellent for both children and adults - it's not the biggest pool, but it's more than big enough. And the way it slopes makes it ideal for children to play in, and it's deep enough for adults to both swim and dive. We can not be more enthusiastic about this house - and somehow words aren't enough. The best way to describe it is, that it is not oversold in the add in any way - rather the opposite! We would love to go back! The road there is a bit off the beaten track, but not inaccesible at all. You'll need a car - also to shop for groceries at the village some 10 km away. But you'll find peace, tranquility, comfort and beautiful landscapes if you choose to go. We cannot give nothing but our very, very, very best recommendation for this place!

This was my first experience in Airbnb in and I couldn't have been more impressed. Our experience in Marca D'agua Chalet was remarkable since the beginning. We were welcomed by Luis and Teresa in a wonderful way, with a fantastic local cheese, bread and a bottle of Oporto wine. We arrived at night, so we couldn't see the view, but when we waked up in the next day we were amazed by the breathtaking view. The house is extremely well equipped with everything we could ask for, the garden is beautiful and the pool is amazing. You couldnt choose a Better place to relax and recharge your batteries. We have a 1 and 1/2 year old child and it was perfect for him too. Luís and Teresa were amazingly hospitable, they helped with everything since we booked the reservation. They kindly offered us a complementary boat trip in Douro river, which was awesome. My wife is a travel agent with 10+ years of experience and she was a little bit worried about this trip but since our arrival everything about the house and the hosts made her change her opinion completely (opposed to a more conventional hotel booking). She became a complete fan. This house and the hosts set the bar very high and we hope that all our other Airbnb bookings will be as amazing as this one. We will recommend it to all our friends that like this kind of trips, and we will definitely return to Marca D'Agua Chalet . I would also like to refer the house next door that also is in Airbnb (Casa de Cadima), that is owned by Luis's brother. They were also incredibly welcoming and the house had the same view. The good host genes must run in the family :)

First of all I want to say, that this was one of my best airbnb experiences I have ever had till now. Everything went really well and the place was amazing! You will find everything you need. The pool and the view were perfect, as well as the possibility for a barbecue. We've also got the nice real helpful advice from Luis to visit the last supermarket before arriving at the house.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Séjour très agréable dans cette maison tout confort avec une vue magnifique. Luis et sa famille nous ont accueilli chaleureusement et avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Il faut juste penser à faire le plein de courses avant d'arriver car il n'y a pas de commerce à moins de 30 mn de route. Si vous recherchez un endroit calme au bord de ce magnifique fleuve pour vous poser quelques jours, c'est la maison idéale ! Elle est parfaitement équipée (Internet, machine à laver, Tv, climatisation, ..) et la déco est très actuelle. On s'y sent tout de suite bien.

The chalet is beautiful, we had a very relaxing time there. There are several seating area where you an enjoy the view of the river. The pool is great too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Teresa and Luis's chalet to anyone thinking of spending time in the Douru Valley area. Teresa and Luis are lovely hosts and we were lucky to meet them and spend time in their amazing house.

Le chalet Marca d'Agua est un endroit magnifique, idéal pour se reposer et se ressourcer en toute tranquillité. L'environnement est privilégié au coeur de la nature, sans nuisance aucune. La maison est parfaitement équipée et décorée avec gout selon les tendances actuelles. Teresa et Luis sont des hôtes charmants, très disponibles et nous ont facilité la découverte de la région. Nous avons découvert un endroit préservé, dans une nature intacte, nous recommandons vraiment cette location.

With hardly any notice the hosts at Casa Oliveiras drove for 2h to get the house ready and even prepare a sumptuous breakfast for us. Superlative service and highly recommended! The stone house is wonderfully renovated and located in a quiet, quaint village. Great communication, fully equipped house make this one a place to remember. Thank you Eduardo, Ines and Co. :)

Depois de uma viagem de 4 horas, e já passando da 01:00 da manhã, fomos recebidos com muita simpatia e vinho do Porto. Seguindo a localização do mapa e utilizando o (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps é muito fácil chegar à porta da casa sem qualquer volta errada, de qualquer forma o Sr. Eduardo prontificou-se a explicar-nos uma nova alternativa para chegar à Sobreira ainda antes de seguirmos viagem e mesmo sem termos pedido indicações. Desde o primeiro contacto, anterior à reserva, até nos termos despedido da bela paisagem do Tua, o Sr. Eduardo foi sempre muito prestável e atencioso ao responder às nossas dúvidas quer acerca da casa, como relativamente ao percurso da linha do Tua onde fomos caminhar. A casa, à imagem do anfitrião, revelou-se muito acolhedora assim que entrámos. Muito ampla, renovada com os traços de uma casa típica. Bem equipada, com tudo pronto para o pequeno almoço e ainda tem o essencial para ajudar a cozinhar as nossas refeições. Os três quartos são muito confortáveis e estão preparados para ninguém passar frio, no entanto tivemos também a sorte de ser brindados com bom tempo. Tem ainda um agradável jardim e uma varanda que envolve toda a frente da casa onde o sol bate durante a tarde. Sentimo-nos quase como em casa e com privacidade total. Não há Internet, a rede móvel também é escassa (como em toda a região pelo que nos apercebemos), mas isso talvez também ajude a desfrutar melhor o sossego e a calma da paisagem. E se passear e conversar não chegar para entreter ainda encontramos na casa uma mesa de ping pong e vários jogos de tabuleiro. As pessoas da Sobreira que encontrámos também fizeram questão de dar o ar da sua graça com dois dedos de conversa, a paisagem do Tua mesmo que venha mudar (e que já encontrámos mudada), continuará certamente a ter muito encanto. Tudo isto tornou o nosso fim de semana muito curto, havendo ainda muito para conhecer e faltou tempo para relaxar ainda mais.

The booking was very fast and efficient and we were given excellent directions. After our long journey from Midi Pyrenees we were met by Eduardo's parents who made us feel very welcome with a glass of their own vintage port! They provided with many 'extras' which was way beyond what we have experienced in other Air bnb's. They very kindly gave us a guided tour of the river valley near the village and showed us the family vineyard from which they produce their own port and wine. The house was very comfortable and clean, more of a home than a holiday letting. The house has been in Eduardo's family for generations and is very well cared for. Very clean and tidy. The location, although in a village is peaceful and quiet. There is no WiFi or microwave radiation here so we recommend it especially for those who (like us) want to escape from the madness of electromagnetic radiation. By far the best Air bnb we have stayed in. Thanks to Eduardo and family for a wonderful stay and warm hospitality. Our only complaint - we didn't stay long enough!

We were made to feel very welcome by the father of the host. He even took the trouble to drive 18 km to Murca so that we can follow his car to the house. The house is indeed charming, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There was a booklet with advice on local restaurants and excursions, and provisions for breakfast. The surrounding area (vineyards, olive groves, Douro river) is so beautiful that we wish we could have stayed longer. Beware of another Sobreira further north near Chaves. That was what threw our GPS and got us lost! Also, be reminded that there is no internet service at the house. So, make sure you have data roaming or do all your internet trip research before arriving.

Nous sommes arrivés dans une maison pleine de charme avec des hôtes très agréables qui nous ont fait des courses de première nécessité, des gâteaux et un bouteille de porto de la région... Suite à une question sur la présence d'une machine à laver qui n’était pas présente, ils ont décidé d'en acheter une!! incroyable!! Trés bon séjour dans une région entourée de superbes paysages et des personnes trés accueillantes!! MERCI.
