Holiday houses in Guisande

This place is incredible. A renovated house from the medieval period, it’s even more impressive than the pictures. The setting is beautiful, with a view of the valley right out the bedroom window. The place itself is spotless and the automated check-in was a breeze. The host even had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and it’s well stocked with coffee. Like most homes in the region, be prepared to drive for groceries and restaurants - and take note that the drive to the house is steep downhill and at times narrow - but take it slow and you’ll be fine. The location of this place is perfect if you want to visit both Porto and the Douro valley. 10/10 would recommend!

It seems impossible to write something new about Maria and her wonderful place at the Douro River that has not been already commented and praised by previous guests. The 5-star review rating for Casa do Rio is very well earned: it is a piece of heaven, tucked away in the Douro Valley and Maria - and not to forget her husband, Jose (who does not get enough praise in other reviews) - are exceptional hosts. We stayed for 3 weeks, with a number of our friends coming to visit us for shorter stays. Maria accommodate all of our changing check-in and check-out needs without a glitch. We enjoyed taking advantage of the many activities and entertainment options - including massages by Hugo (a master of his craft) that the location provides. One thing to be aware of: There is no shopping option and limited restaurant choices available in walking distance, hence a car is almost a necessity for a longer stay.

lugar precioso, tranquilo, con varias playas fluviales muy cerca, con Porto al lado, bien comunicado con lugares lindos de visitar( Castelo de Paiva, Arouca...., Pedorico, O Douro...) Todo respondió a las expectativas. todo muy limpio, anfitriona genial y coanfitrion espectacular en el trato. sitio recomendable para estar en contacto con la naturaleza y si se quiere con la ciudad. merece muchísimo la pena.

I can’t thank Manu enough for her friendliness, hospitality and kindness. She is one of the nicest hosts I have been fortunate to meet. She helped us throughout our stay and was always available for advice and support. The accommodation itself is wonderfully spacious, secure and surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was a good base to explore Porto and surrounding areas, I would highly recommend. Many thanks 😊.

Não poderia estar mais feliz com a minha escolha. Tão bom quando somos surpreendidos pela beleza quer do sítio quer das pessoas que encontramos. Fomos recebidos com sorrisos, disponibilidade, calor humano como já não há, num espaço que nos envolve para um tempo de paz e relaxamento total, onde a liberdade para quem tem filhos de os poder ver brincar e correr sem medo fica em primeiro plano! Foram 4 dias de sonho. Obrigada à D. Filomena e Sr. Jerónimo pela presença deliciosa e discreta com que nos presentearam, à Cláudia e Ricardo por toda a ajuda na realização do dia tão especial para os nossos filhos! A nossa família está completamente rendida! Iremos voltar 🥰 estamos de coração cheio e com a certeza que queremos regressar onde fomos tão felizes e recebidos com amor e com abraços com sabor a casa!

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

O espaço é maravilhoso! Foi o melhor airbnb que já fiquei. Tinha tudo o que precisávamos, até shampoo, amaciador, toalhas para a piscina! Quero voltar para uma estadia de mais dias e aproveitar o resto da casa e vou recomendar a 100%! Fica a 20 minutos do Porto e há ubers no local. O espaço da piscina e jacuzzi é muito bom, tanto com a piscina coberta, como descoberta! A temperatura da piscina é maravilhosa! O Tiago estive sempre pronto a responder a qualquer dúvida de funcionamento ou localização! Obrigada por este fim de semana incrível!

loved it! a piece of heaven(: very quite, the prettiest pool plus a waterfall
