About the villa

High in the hills of Douro, with panoramic views of sun-soaked vineyards and silvered olive groves, this bright and airy villa basks on the boundary of a tiny hamlet, where the nearest thing to ‘rush hour’ is the morning arrival of the bakery van. Converted and extended from an old school house, the villa now has a very contemporary feel, with spacious bedrooms, stylish bathrooms and a sleek white kitchen, air conditioning, WiFi and modern appliances. Lawned gardens encircle the house and its private swimming pool, with loungers and parasols, an al fresco dining area, and poolside snooker room. 

Social space within the house is an open-plan living /dining room, divided by a fireplace and furnished with flair. With satellite TV and a music system both here and in the games room, there are TV’s in the bedrooms too; two at ground level and two on the upper floor, each with a terrace or balcony facing those blissful views. Continental breakfast is served each morning, extra cook service can be arranged locally, and Pinhão is 8km away, with a river marina, shops, bars and restaurants, and the steam train station for the scenic trip to Foz Tua.

About the area

Douro Valley and the North

Average weather

At Douro Valley’s westerly point, PORTUGAL’S second city Porto is your perfect starting point to explore the world’s oldest wine-producing region. The valley stretches from the Atlantic to the Spanish border in Northern Portugal, and the river its lifeblood. It boasts three UNESCO-protected regions, including Porto’s riverside barrio of Ribeira, with its Medieval streets and waterfront cafés, plus the key to the area: the Alto Douro Wine Region. Enjoy Porto’s soaring Sé (cathedral), its cloisters adored with azulejos painted tiles. Further east, religious worshippers head to the pretty town of Amarante, to touch the tomb of São Gonçalo
