Farmstay vacation rentals in Douro

Our stay in this house was really fantastic! The house itself was amazing and offered incredible tranquility. The hostess is one of the friendliest people we have ever met. Upon arrival we could easily park our car in the driveway of the hostess's house. She was so thoughtful in helping us get our luggage to the vacation house. To get to the house, you walk through a beautiful vineyard. This walk is an experience in itself, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. Once we arrived at the cottage, we were treated to an amazing view of the vineyard. The house itself is cozy and comfortably furnished, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a swimming pool within walking distance of the house, located on a hill. The pool is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and it was wonderful to spend time there with the family. All in all, this house was really a highlight of our first holiday in Portugal. We can recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay!

The super nice complex is an oasis in the somewhat bustling environment of the city of Vila Real. Ins and their people are very friendly and extremely nice without being intrusive. Every morning fresh bread is brought to the house, great service, also the daily cleaning of the bungalow is very pleasant. The garden areas are very well maintained, the pool is cleaned daily, the water is super clear and refreshing. Our bungalow was more spacious than it looked like in the pictures and wonderfully cool due to the thick granite walls even at 33 degrees outside temperature. The excursion tips are lovingly drawn and well thought through. All in all, four of us had a wonderful week at Ines. Thank you!

This place ought to be officially recognized as a national treasure! The house and grounds are full of historic charm and the scenery is spectacular. The farm fresh breakfast was truly impressive and the hospitality was top notch. We stayed for two nights but would have been very happy to have stayed for an entire week if our schedule had allowed for it. Many thanks to the owners for creating such a wonderful guest house and for the warm welcome and great sightseeing tips. It was the highlight of our trip from Canada.

This place is peaceful and surrounded by nature with lots of trees and singing birds, includind the chickens that create an "quinta" atmosphere. The accommodations were clean and cozy, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and caring. I highly recommend this countryside gem for a relaxing escape.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay - and Anabela was incredibly helpful with advice on what to do and where to go and was always ahead of anything we might need - before we even thought of it. We loved the place - it was perfect for our family of 3 adults and one child (10 years). The location was incredible with views across the valley and looking into a peaceful and beautiful yard. Our first day was sunny and we were able to enjoy the big yard, pool and porch, with a wander through town. And when the rain set in the house was still very warm and cozy with the pellet stove, heaters in the main rooms and the hallway - and we were able to enjoy our time inside and soak up the views through the raindrops. Definitely recommend - it was a great price for the incredible service, amazing views and cozy setting. We hope to come back!

Beautiful spot with private pool and lots of space to enjoy the sunshine. Really peaceful location with amazing restaurant attached, which I recommend visiting. Isabel was hugely responsive and incredibly helpful throughout. Highly recommend a visit!

A very beautiful location next to the river in an authentic stone mill house with modern amenities. Lovely hosts who will prepare and deliver delicious meals for a reasonable cost. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Kind people, simple, hard to find nowadays. Everything is great and impeccable from reception to departure. Green space, fresh air, vineyards, swimming pool. All fantastic. Definitely repeating.

We love it! Very good to relax in the jacuzzi, like for a walk. We were received by D. Luísa, who was always concerned about the stay. In the future we will come back! Recommend!

We rented the space to be able to work in peace with the management team in Portugal, and still have plenty of space to retreat individually - if desired. It was perfect. The location, the huge space, the facilities, the communication with Rita, the reception, the giant big table, the well-equipped kitchen. Nothing but praise! We'll definitely be back!

Very cozy house with everything you need to spend a few days with family or friends. I totally recommend it.

Had an amazing time at the lemon tree farm. Was very spontaneously looking for a peaceful weekend in the countryside and got exactly that. Surrounded by the beautiful smell of lemons and with super cute ponies and horses as my neighbors. Jorge was an amazing host and made everything possible even though my stay was super short notice. Would definitely visit again.

Very good! Very receptive, the host is amazing, the place is quite beautiful.

It was the second time we chose this place and it was excellent! We felt right at home! Enjoy so much nature and animals, calm and comfort! It is undoubtedly a very good place to rest and for good times alone or with family! We'll definitely be back! And Susana is very friendly and helpful! We really liked it!

Phenomenal space and very friendly hosts. It was a pity we did not have access to the pool, but it was a small gap that did not affect the experience at all. At the check in only failed not to be able to establish immediate contact, but they called after a while which also did not cause embarrassment. Beautiful and very cozy view. I will certainly return

We stayed with Annette and her husband's in their magnificent apartment for 4 days. The apartment is located with a great view of the area. A lovely terrace and another small area in front of the apartment where you can enjoy the view. The apartment is on two floors with everything you need. Well appointed and well-equipped kitchen. Parking right in front of the place. High quality. Annette is easy to get in touch with and helpful and very friendly.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage located in the countryside in a relaxing place! José and Aurora were very attentive: tips, fruit and apple juice from the farm, thank you! Supermarket 5 minutes away, rivers for swimming a few minutes away, Amarante and Guimarães 45 minutes away, Porto 1h15.

A winter stay with all the comfort in a magical natural surroundings.

We absolutely loved staying here. Ricardo was super friendly and helpful. Quinta Freiera is a stunning farm with loads of grape vines, lemon trees, orange trees, passion fruit, etc. It was so special to stay in a house that has been in his family for over 200 years. I highly recommend this quinta!

We spent an amazing weekend on Thursday. We went to a more homemade bachelorette party and we had exactly what we needed at our disposal: space, games, comfort. The fact that the rooms are in a different building from the rooms/kitchen helped a lot! Let's go back in the summer to enjoy the pool for sure! A special thank you to Pedro for all the friendliness and flexibility with our plans!

Amazing views. really enjoyed the premises. Marcos was very responsive and helped with booking the car even. as we did not drive ourselves it was a little difficult to find a ride. The place and the surroundings are amazing. it was great for our stay for 2 days but anything more than that I would recommend a rental car. Also I learnt that Duoro valley is huge and this place isn't in the heart but at the start of the valley.

We loved staying here and would like to again! The house was just as described and within walking distance to local grocery stores and restaurants. I loved waking up to see the beautiful fog roll in over the mountains and a herd of sheep doing their morning grazing. When it rains you can see the river from the balcony and it creates a relaxing sound. We also enjoyed getting cozy in front of the fireplace at night. More than anything, we appreciated António’s mother, who was very sweet and brought us pastries and chocolates. António was very kind and answered any questions we had right away. His father was nice as well! The cleaning service after two weeks was also a lovely touch. This place is a perfect getaway if you are looking to de-stress and be near nature and friendly people. The only thing I will note is if you are coming in winter it can be a bit cold (not surprising-it is winter!) so bring some warmer comfort clothes to wear around the house.

Amazing stay in the mist beautiful location in Portugal. Great stay for a family looking for a relaxing time in a remarkable setting.

Beautiful property with even more beautiful grounds! Eusebio's place is very peaceful, with a big pool, flat yard, and beautiful plants everywhere! The home was perfect for our family of 3. We loved exploring this remote area, as well as driving to Viana do Castelo to shop and eat.
