Holiday houses in Bañobárez

La casa es tal cual aparece en las fotos, perfectamente limpia y mantenida. Es bonita y funcional. Estuvimos un grupo de amigos y a todos nos gustó.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Follow Mario's advice and you will have an amazing time (ask if you can use the kayak!) Mario's son learned me a lot about music, and Mario himself made some fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks for everything, and hopefully we will meet again.

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!

La casa es espectacular. El tiempo era lluvioso y frío y la casa estaba caliente y confortable. La instalación de la piscina inmejorable, la pudimos disfrutar todos los días. Estaba todo limpísimo y cuenta con todo tipo de menaje, accesorios, toallas para la piscina, juegos, etc. La verdad es que es una casa totalmente recomendable para ir en grupo y los anfitriones siempre atentos y amables.

We had a great time at the tiny house. Yes, there were 1-2 quirks, but this is expected. Every place has its quirks, but here, everything was clearly communicated by the host, which we greatly value. We came to watch the Perseid meteor shower and had a nice experience. However, the light pollution was higher than expected due to local festivities using sky laser projectors. These powerful lasers create bright beams visible from afar. The previous night, while we were at another place, was even worse with two villages using projectors, which seems to be common here. Unfortunately, this was not pleasant for us, and we hope it was just bad timing. Everything else was wonderful—the surrounding nature was serene, with lush trees and a variety of birds adding to the charm. We enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and sunrises that made our stay memorable. The host was exceptional, preparing a delicious breakfast each morning and always being kind and helpful.

Jose’s place, (Pedro is the Son of), has a lovely home in a quiet friendly village. The home was relatively easy to find, (could do with an Airbnb sign on the corner of the property, to help weary travellers). Once arrived and settled in, Jose is a BRILLIANT host, so welcoming, so generous and the home is comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed a meal in a neighbouring town, that Jose, happily booked for us, but there is all the available gear to cook for yourself. The area is close to the Duoro river, and Jose gives so many options for activities for this area. He is very passionate about the history and his town. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in the area.

We loved it here! Rosa and Joao made us feel like family. Rosa is incredibly knowledgeable of the Village and the surrounding areas. The animals are friendly, you can walk through the areas without fear. The goats, Lemon (the donkey), Boss the puppy and so much more. Rosa should be the Mayor, she knows everyone and her friendly personality makes the entire Village glow. We were introduced to all the friendly people of the Aldeia Fuinhas. Rosa shared her knowledge of the cheese making process, I have new cheese making skills. The hostess with the mostest provided good wine, tasty orange cake, plenty of good herbal teas, the garden is bright and well maintained. I had a refreshing dip in the super clean pool on a hot day. Casa da Aldeia is a magical place for all ages to enjoy the surroundings and the Animals. You can find Joao or their friendly neighbor Joaquin milking the goats twice daily. You will love to see this fresh milk production; say cheese. We will see you again Rosa & Joao

La casa es fantástica, y se encuentra a pocos km de los mejores miradores de los Arribes.... Juan Manuel fue muy amable y atento con nosotros... nos dio sugerencias muy interesantes... Recomendable al 100%
