Casa Douro Terrace -River Views Douro Valley 60' from Porto

Serene beauty and total privacy on a large terrace over the Douro!

Holiday home in the green landscape of arbutus and cork trees, with privileged views of the river, at the gates of the Douro Wine Region, a world heritage site.

To share with friends and family, on barbecue and revelry afternoons on the riverfront terrace, savoring the green wine of Tormes, or quietly reading at sunset. At night "(...) nothing more beautiful, and more vain than a cave on top of the mountains, looking at the stars! ... "* And in the colder season, why not a port when the flames crackle in the warmth of the fireplace?

Set in a 3000 m2 wooded and landscaped property, Casa Douro Terrace offers 3 elegant and spacious bedding rooms, one with a panoramic balcony overlooking the valley and the river; large living / dining room with fireplace, television, stereo system, DVD, books, games (adults and children) and toys; two full bathrooms with a hairdryer and free toiletries; Kitchen equipped with stove, kitchenware, stove / oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, kettle and blender.

Douro Terrace features free WiFi. Free private outdoor parking is available. Free bicycles are available. There is possibility of cleaning during the stay. The rooms are equipped with heating.

Outside there is a large terrace with garden furniture and barbecue. The terrace overlooks a wooded area that extends to the river.

Baião, with the largest green area in the district of Porto, breathes “fine and pure air” * and offers natural scenery of “incomparable beauty” *, river beaches, historic routes, preserved villages, ancient monuments and excellent cuisine.

Be dazzled by the “natural life of Baião”, enjoy the riverside place of Pala with its orange groves, practice water sports, walk along Ribadouro's Roman sidewalk, cool off in the pure waters of the Bestança River (Cinfães) and the river beach from the river Ovil. Follow the Romanesque route - visit the Ancede Monastery (founded in the 18th century). XII) and the bridge of Esmoriz. Take the “Jacinto Way” from Aregos (Tormes) Station and go up the mountain to Tormes. Discover the villages lost in time (Mafómedes), the Serra do Marão, the indigenous Carvalhal de Reixela, the Serra da Abobreira with its megalithic monuments and delight in the wines and the local cuisine.

Finally, be dazzled by the Douro vineyard by catching the train at Aregos station “(…) the tiny Tormes station (…), by the river, among rocks, with its showy sunflowers…” * and continue to Pocinho, on the Douro line, on a trip through Miguel Torga's “wonderful kingdom”

Beautiful house and view
Or stay was perfect. From the rainbow over the Douro in the morning to the nice sunsets. Made ourselves a little piri-piri chicken in the bbq. Staff from local Mercado were super friendly.

So so so nice!!
We spent 3 nights and there were 6 of us. The house is so spacious and comfortable. We were several hours late in checking in but Joao was still very welcoming and helped us find the location by guiding us over the phone. He had a special bread for us as well as a great bottle of wine which we enjoyed. The views are amazing from the home and patio. Do not hesitate to book this property, you will not regret it!!

Perfect hideaway
The property is superb, everything you need is there, and the view is very special. We took the train to Porto and back, which was great, but were really glad to get back to the space and tranquility of the house. Joao is an excellent host, great communication.

Great View, awesome home Fabulous, Host great!
The host is great, the place is great home it’s cozy comfortable and well equipped, an awesome view. A spectacular large place with panoramic views from back wrap around patio, high in the hills over the Douro. Beds comfortable AC in each bedroom - Quiet location - only praise. Finding the place is a bit hard at first - a small drive off country like road but well worth that step to be amazed of the place and its view and comfort. Host provided a warm welcome bottle if wine cake for our arrival.

In the hearth of the Douro valley
This property has an astonishing view of the Douro Valley and it's near vineyards, without the need to drive for hours to reach them. Also, the air conditioning in each bedroom was very welcome during the heatwaves. João was very kind to show us everything we needed in the house and in the region... do not miss the small vineyard just 5 minutes away with their excellent white and rosé wines! As a side note, this house is located in the mountains, so the parking spot is a bit narrow and only two sides of the house have viable windows... but what a view!

Paradise in the heart of Douro`
We really enjoyed our week-long stay at João's beautiful home perched on the crest of the hills enveloping a valley with views of lush green forests, vineyards and the Douro river. The home is spacious and well appointed with amenities. The place is a great location to stay if you plan to explore the Douro valley with its many vineyards, wineries and small towns and villages with its igrejas, quintas and miradouros. João took care to give us a walkthrough of his home, a few of his recommendations and then wished us a good stay. His recommendations didn't disappoint. Our stay was comfortable, relaxed and rejuvenating. We will eagerly look for opportunities to come and stay here again.

Fabulous property
Absolutely stunning property with incredible views, We spent many hours on the patio relaxing with a stunning view of terraced landscape and the river. Our favorites were the patio and day trips to many stunning nearby towns and villages. My daughter and i enjoyed wineries and the train ride through the douro wine region was breathtaking. You do need a car to get there and be able to get around. The property owner was very helpful with a personal introduction to the house and many tips on how to get around and special places to visit.
