A stunning home. All wrapped up in the nicest of little towns. We are already talking of coming back for a month long stay. Quiet, beautiful, secure... Over the top communication and helpful people. If anything the place was undersold. We just kept saying to each other "wow this is amazing".

If you want the true Duoro Valley experience, this is the perfect house. The serene river and valley are all around you, whether you are enjoying the spectacular infinity pool, cooking in the modern kitchen, relaxing with the high tech surround sound / tv, playing snooker, or lying in bed. Nearby Resende has all the amenities you need with several supermarkets, and several good dining options. I look forward to returning to this breathtaking luxurious riverfront retreat. Amazing host too! We were given freshly baked bread each morning, and a welcome cake and fruit basket. Delicious! Highly recommend!
