About this property

Douro Escape House offers a relaxed base for exploring one of Portugal’s most celebrated wine regions. Set within the Douro Valley, this three bedroom restored stone retreat blends traditional materials with thoughtful modern design to create a comfortable, down-to-earth stay. 

Inside, clean lines and natural textures meet local character, comprising timber beams, cool tile floors, and traditional Portuguese touches. Large windows draw in valley views, while the private terrace overlooking the Douro river is a standout spot for a quiet breakfast or a glass of local wine at sunset.

Whether you're planning to tour the region’s wineries, hike along river trails, or simply take things slow, Douro Escape House makes it easy. Families, couples, and small groups will appreciate the peaceful setting and flexible layout. It’s the kind of place that encourages long meals, good conversation, and time spent outdoors.

Douro Escape House is set in Ribadouro, a peaceful village on the banks of the Douro River. The surrounding landscape is shaped by terraced vineyards and quiet rural roads, ideal for walks, wine tasting and slow-paced exploring.

This part of the Douro Valley is known for its port wine estates, many of which offer tours and tastings just a short drive away. Boat trips down the Douro river from nearby piers offer a different view of the region, winding past riverside hills and farms.

Local towns like Baião and Peso da Régua provide shops, markets and places to eat, while Porto is around 75 km west - close enough for a day trip if you want a mix of countryside and city.

      A beautiful house with lots of interesting spots to be, right on the shore of the Douro. Climb down a short ladder and you're in the water. The property owners were lovely and friendly people with great advice about where to go and what to.
