Holiday houses in Ester

It's been a wonderful few days, it's the perfect place to disconnect and rest. The stay was very pleasant, and we were also able to enjoy the pool every day. The surroundings are very nice and the roads are very good. Eva was very attentive to make sure everything was in order and correct. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

What can we say.. We spent a glorious, relaxed week here at the end of August, a truly special place a beautifully renovated original stone house with high ceilings and original features. Paul was a generous, friendly and knowledgeable host, and the views are spectacular. Apartment 3 was a good size for our family of 5 (kids 17, 14, 11) comfy beds, en suites for each bedroom and a stunning balcony. The pool was an extra treat, beautiful, and again with panoramic views across the valley. Oh, and the WiFi was speedy too. Brace yourself for the drive, it gets easier and it’s 100% worth it! Would happily and heartily recommend ❤️

everything was perfect, much recommended!

The best. That has to be the first thing I say. We have stayed at so many airbnbs and this place was just wonderful. First Sandra and Nuno went far above and beyond for hosting - they met us in person, watched our dog for us!!, brought veggies, had homemade bread ready - and were just truly the kindest people. It felt like we were visiting family not staying in an airbnb. The house is lovely - every detail is thought of and hand crafted, you can certainly feel the love for the place and the careful and beautiful renovation throughout. The backyard is a hidden gem - again, with every detail from a firepit to an outdoor shower, lounge chairs and fairy lights. We were a hop away from a main trailhead and easy access to many towns in the area. It was perfect, you even have an easy to access parking spot so you can easily navigate in and out. Highly recommend and huge thanks to our hosts! We appreciated the lovely opportunity to enjoy such nice people and a wonderful space.

Dajas Douro Valley was perhaps more beautiful than the photos! It was the perfect place to relax between adventures in Lisbon and Porto. We especially loved spending time by the pool by day and cozying up with a bottle of wine by the fire pit by night. Alexandra and Tatiana were very welcoming. A few tips for future guests: The property is nestled in the hillside which means it is at least 20 minutes from towns/restaurants. We rented a car which was helpful for exploring nearby areas, but be prepared for many narrow, steep and winding roads! We found that Waze gave better directions (less rustic) than Google maps. We also wished we had stopped at a grocery store to stock up on some food for our villa before arriving. I also recommend booking reservations at local wineries as we didn’t have much luck just showing up (midweek at least). My husband and I would absolutely stay here again!

I enjoyed staying. From the location to the stylish furnishings it was what I was looking for. Although quiet in regards to food offerings there were two local eateries and a cafe. All I needed! Being close to the river I spend mornings with coffee and evenings with a glass of wine along the waterside. A (large) supermarket is only a short 15 minute drive allowing me to use the well equipped kitchen. I don’t hesitate to recommend Casa Douro!

We had the best stay at Márcias apartment. My best airbnb experience so far (and I had a lot). She was proactive and recommending us a lot of activities over there. The house was beautiful, relaxing in between the magic mountains was a wonderful experience. I can totally recommend for any person or group that wants to get into nature.

5 ⭐️ The accommodation met and exceeded expectations! Let's go back, for sure! Mr. José Carlos is very attentive and always willing to resolve or clarify any doubts. Beautiful, clean, calm and quiet space. From the house, to the garden, to the pool and the magnificent unobstructed view, everything is wonderful. I recommend it 500%. Ideal for family holidays, with peace and quiet. Spectacular.
