We spent 2 fantastic weeks in the beautiful house/ property of Maria-Aurestina and Manual.
We were with 5 people so we had loads of space as the house can accommodate 8 to 19 people without problem.
The house is extemely well équiped, nothing is missing, and everything in perfect state.
The pool & garden are gorgeous, on the banks of the Douro. The calm is unbelievable and the nature beautiful, which really allows you to forget about everything and enjoy very relaxing holidays.
This is the real differentiator with the other houses along the Douro: it has a direct access to it, and you can make use of the kayak and the 2 standup paddles available. Great for the teenagers… and for the adults.
The house is also well situated to visit North Portugal main sites: Porto , Braga, Guimaraes, Aveiro and of course the beautiful Douro wineyards.
And the weather was beautiful, but not too warm (between 25 and 32). And the river always brings a little bit of fresh air. And surprisingly, almost no mosquitos.
Fabulous.
