Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Paiva River

We really enjoyed the spectacular views, the amazing terrace and the fun pool. BBQ area was a real plus and all the amenities were adequate for our party of six. Joao was a very friendly and responsive host. The main bedroom was large but the other bedrooms and communal areas were small with limited soundproofing. The location was beautifully private but the noises from the town and river could be loud.

From the moment we arrived , Alexandra welcomed our family and made us at home. The establishment is incredibly designed, unbelievable views and smells of fresh flowers. The staff was super nice and helpful, the food and wine was great ! Thank you for great family memories made ! Will be back ! Anthony

We loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed more than one night. The view from the patio areas is beautiful and the house is charming. The house itself isn't fancy but it's a great price and great location. We would have loved to utilize the pool more but it was not very sunny the day we were there.

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.

Amazing location; beautiful property, very helpful host. We absolutely loved our stay!

This place was amazing, way bigger than it looks in the photos, with everything we needed and incredible views. The host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I get the chance!

The stay went incredibly well. We had high expectations, but he managed to exceed them. The house is very well located and the decor is wonderful! I think João and Debora are amazing hosts, they left nothing to chance and were always available to help. For sure, repeating it!

A wonderful place to relax in the Douro Valley! The views are stunning, and the surroundings are peaceful and quiet. The apartment is clean and cozy. The host was welcoming and attentive. He left a lovely welcome package with food and drinks, which was a very nice touch. The kitchen is well equipped, and there’s a convenient outdoor grill where we enjoyed making dinner with a view of the valley. The pool is large and fits perfectly into the relaxing atmosphere. Photos don’t fully capture the beauty and charm of this place — it’s even better in person. We’d love to come back!

The location was so nice, and it was so convenient to enter with a password. The host's response came quickly, and the view that was slightly visible out the window was so nice.

Abi and Regina are exceptional hosts who made our stay memorable. We especially enjoyed the tour of the animation museum by Abi which was fascinating The property is very lovely, the flower and vegetable gardens are incredible and the whole ambience is very relaxing. A perfect place to stay for several days. We thoroughly recommend staying here and look forward to returning

There were three of us sharing the property and it was so nice that I almost wanted to move in permanently! Nice terrace and very tasteful decor in quiet area. It was a short taxi ride from the airport, good proximity to the grocery store and a very nice pastry shop. Great choice if you like to stay a little secluded from the most visited tourist trails and discover different areas. We walked almost everywhere with the exception of some cheap taxi rides. 10/10 residents :)

Great place to stay and having three complete private bedrooms is highly beneficial when traveling with family. We hope to return for a longer trip in the future to soak in the sun and visit the Douro Valley. Very accessible location.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, with modern and newly furnished interiors. The location was excellent — close to everything, and there was a great supermarket just around the corner. The internet was super fast, which was a big plus. It would have been even better with an elevator, but hey, you’re in the land of hills after all! :) All in all, a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

What a fantastic property, in a stunning location overlooking the beautiful sandy beach. The vistas were simply amazing and sitting on the veranda with Gin & Tonic watching the incredible sunsets was real memory making. Marcos was very helpful and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. He was also very responsive, helpful and fun to deal with. The garage parking was perfect, and the lift from the garage stops right outside the apartment. It’s a very spacious open apartment, that has some lovely furniture and artefacts, making it feel very homely. Overall, this was a superb experience and we highly recommend it to others.

Felt like living in the middle of Porto. Close to lots of bars and restaurants. Nice apartment and very at home feel. We were there when Portugal won euro finals so very noisy from the bars outside, but thats to be expected! Lovely apartment

Excellent host, Rey responsive and always went above and beyond to make our stay in the city wonderful.

We are very happy with the accommodation! From the warm welcome to the attention to detail, everything contributed to a comfortable and peaceful stay. The space is cozy, larger than we thought, well cared for and with a wonderful view, ideal for relaxing after a day full of adventures. An experience we certainly want to repeat! 🏡✨

We had an absolutely incredible stay! The house is even better than the pictures, and our host could not have been more wonderful, flexible, accommodating and welcoming. A few highlights that aren’t immediately obvious: fresh bread delivery every morning, kitchen is wonderful and very easy to cook in, charcoal grill outside is fantastic - and lovely for grilling fresh fish in! (ask if fish is available from the local fish monger!). You can also easily do a day trip into Porto from this hidden paradise. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ricardo and his father Mario, or this amazing villa!

Absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to go back!!! Adrianne was great dropping by each morning to have a little tidy in the kitchen and make breakfast. The view of the Douro valley from poolside and the rooms was incredible. Can’t say enough good things about our stay!

We had a great stay at this apartment! It was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The host was super nice and very helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

We had a great and peaceful time at Joao's beautiful stone house up in hills. The deck is absolutely gorgeous to hang out with friends and family. We loved the quietness of place. There are no nearby restaurants so make sure to plan the trip accordingly, otherwise it's awesome place to relax unwind and chill.

I spent my birthday at Dulce's house - it was truly a beautiful experience. Lovely countryside, beautiful weather, and Dulce's house was perfect for myself and 5 friends. There are lots of lovely walks nearby and restaurants about 30 minutes drive away. She also left us fresh bread and blueberries. A beautiful escape into nature, would highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to stay again. Our highlight was the donkey on the property next door. Thank you for the hospitality

We spent 10 days in the country house and had such a lovely stay. Vania made us feel welcome and provided us with all we needed for our baby. The house is charming, authentic yet clean and equipped with all you need. The location has a lot to offer on a day trip and transport to Porto and the airport is easy. This experience is beyond what can be expected from the average Airbnb, have already recommended to friends and family and we hope to come back :-)
