Holiday rentals with breakfast in Alijó

I don't know where to start! Our visit to the Douro Valley couldn't have been better! Casa Souto was everything that we thought it would be. Both Mr. João Souto and Ms. Maria de Fatima were the absolute BEST hosts we've ever had. They went above and beyond in every conceivable way! They truly created a home for us, Thank you so very much, we appreciated our visit more than you'll ever know!! * hugs* from your canadian friends and new family members!! Love to you both! 🧡

A very nice accommodation, perfectly equipped, in a peaceful and very beautiful environment. The garden is beautiful. The pool area is beautiful Communication with Pedro was very easy. Very warm hosting by Fatima. And the good morning surprise with a great breakfast that Fatima brought us (Portuguese pastries, pressed orange juice, etc.) A place we would recommend without hesitation. We had a great week.

Peaceful, comfortable, beautiful location and countryside.

We loved our stay at Quinta da Pousada. The place is beautiful and so peaceful. Both breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious and the service couldn’t have been any better. We also enjoyed our wine tasting. We will definitely be coming back to this magical place and I can't recommend it enough! Obrigada!!!

Loic's place was an amazing find. we loved the house, the scenery, the quiet, the cleanliness. couldn't recommend more!!!

Everything was perfect. Looks much nicer than the pictures. Lurdes is very welcoming and generous. She offered us fresh fruits and vegetables. We definitely recommand and would love to come back one day. Do not hesitate to book, the place is awesome and exceeds expectations!

I can truly say that this was the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. (And I experienced a lot of Air Bnbs). Puri and Paulo made me feel so welcome. I was traveling alone and after Porto I really wanted to see the Douro Valley and the vineyards. This was the best decision. The whole Douro area is just stunning and definitely worth a visit. And Puri's house makes it just perfect. After a long drive through the Douro Valley, Puri and Paulo welcomed me with delicious cheese and ham and most of all very tasty red wine and a 43 year old port. The best port wine I have ever drunk. In the morning I jogged around the village and it was just beautiful, in the evening they showed me the bakery of the village where they sell bread only in the evening and it was so nice. All the recommendations Puri and Paulo gave me were perfect and I enjoyed my trip through the valleys to the fullest. My room and bathroom were very clean and the backyard was just beautiful and a perfect place to relax. They showed me their wine cellar and where they make the delicious jam we had for breakfast every morning. All of Puri's food is super delicious and worth trying. Once I'm back in Portugal I will definitely go back there and can highly recommend a stay here! Many thanks to Puri and Paulo for being so welcoming. In German there is the term "Gastfreundschaft", a combination of guest and friendship. And that is what I found here. Thank you very much!

Excellent stay. Everything was perfect. This was our third time visiting Bairro Do Casal.

José's estate is beautiful with stunning views of the hills. The accommodation is very comfortable. And the location is great for exploring the local area. José was always very available. Breakfast is included, hearty, and delicious. I would highly recommend this rental.

Peace on the water (at the end of the world) The accommodation was only found after a telephone inquiry, although there are only a few buildings in the village. This is VERY secluded, if you want to stay longer, you should shop well. There were only two cafes and one (closed) restaurant there. The nearest store is about a 1/2 hour drive away. However, it would also be possible to arrive by train. However, it is fantastically beautiful, right on the river, and the traffic of ships, trains and cars can almost be counted. I particularly liked the surroundings with the many flowers, the access to the water and the many seating and lounging options outdoors, both in the shade and in the sun. If you want to take a boat trip, you don't have to go away, the host also does such. You can also rent boats from him, and he gave us tips for fishing. The accommodation is worth its price, is well equipped and there is also parking in the shade. Many thanks to all

Clean, roomy and comfortable apartment. Great patio. Very good communication. Paula was at the apartment on our arrival to introduce the apartment. A nice port and cookies were provided gratis, which was appreciated. Breakfast provided every morning was tasty and convenient. Highly recommend.

We had stumbled upon this wonderful Quinta in the last minute on our way to Oporto. Couldn’t have been a better place. Us with a family of 4 had the best time any family could hope for. It felt like a movie, the property is beautiful with vineyards surrounding the Quinta. The hosts, Elena and Jose were lovely, helpful and very welcoming. We were supposed to stay one night and extended it to 3 and wished we could’ve stayed more. We will return, no doubt about. One of many Jewels of the heights of el Duero river.

the property was carefully renovated with a lot of love. The furnishings are up to a high standard with historical objects. The paths along the vineyards relaxing. A wonderful view and comfortable garden furniture. The kindness of the staff surprised us. A house with history and good wine.

I spent two magnificent days with my family at Casa dos Vinhais. The host, José, is very nice, attentive and helpful and we were optimally received by him. The house is really special with the family's antique furniture and crockery with the very nice living room and the very beloved bedrooms. Here you sit and breathe the story. The view from the house to the Douro River is beautiful and we could not take advantage to bathe in the river but, in the warmer months, it would be possible to enjoy the outside well. We can ask to make dinner at home and the cod with cream and the alheira prepared by José e Graça was divine. In addition, the small Almoco is included in the stay and is really delicious! I hope to return here again to this home. Thank you for everything!

Quinta da Xandica, located just outside of Valença do Douro village, was a fantastic, and unique experience. It’s rare these days to find an Airbnb hosted by a “real” (boots on the ground) host who is not only there to share local knowledge and accommodates your needs, but literally who also welcomes you in to the ACTUAL family home. It reminded me of a traditional bed and breakfast, in all of the best ways. (Including a lovely breakfast in a dining room!!!) The Quinta was home to Matilde”s great grandfather, and is shared today with her grandmother and father (three generations). It’s a working farm, and an all around charming, beautiful place. Even during our unseasonably rainy visit, the grounds and area was stunning. Practically speaking, the bed was comfortable & the water hot. Dinner made by Matilde was a reasonably priced and delicious with estate wine. We also thoroughly interaction with other guests, the chipped dog, “Bill”, and access to the surrounding area. A treasure!

Thank you Cidália and João for your welcome, your availability and especially your kindness. La Quinta is fabulous and seamlessly rivals some 5* hotels. The breathtaking views.

We absolutely loved our time at Cidália’s beautiful property. Cidália and her son Aderito were amazing hosts and wonderful people. The room was comfortable and had stunning views (including rainbows). The breakfast was fantastic and filling. When paired with the view from the balcony made for amazing memories. We had dinner at the Quinta one night and we are so glad we did, so good! Highly recommend and hope we can visit again one day.

Quinta de Santa Marinha is a gem, and so is it’s host! Cidália and her son are two of the nicest, most generous people we have met! We were treated to a wonderful breakfast every morning and a delicious tapas dinner one evening. Cidália had many wonderful suggestions on what to do and where to go. We are so thankful to have had this amazing experience that they shared with us! And the views are jaw dropping!

The place is stunning and a perfect get away. Very peaceful with an amazing view and amazing breakfast! The instructions to find the Quinta were clear and after a first confusion in the town easy to find (just follow the signs). The dirt road leading there was a bit scary at first, but was perfectly fine. Deri welcomed us and gave some great recommendations for restaurants in the neighboring towns (would have loved to try the dinner in house but wasn’t available at the time), which we tried and loved. Wifi didn’t reach our room, but we didn’t mind that too much. We would definitely come back to relax and enjoy more of the surrounding area.

That's what we were looking for! A stay in the countryside, in a century-old house as if it were our family home. The rural reality of our wonderful Portugal! This type of "enriching" experience is nothing compared to a hotel! We have to have an "open mind" and know how to value the beauty of returning to our roots! It has a fabulous view of the Régua and the Douro River!
