Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Douro

The house is renovated and very comfortable, we would like to have noticed by the description that the outside area is far from the house.

Five stars to Casa de Cardido and to Rui and Alexandra for being wonderful hosts. We were a little late checking in, but Rui greeted us with a smile and a very generous tabua of local cheeses and meats. The hosts go above anything expected, with a sound system at the pool, exercise equipment, and fresh bread delivered daily. The house is a traditional Portuguese home - and it feels like a “home” not a rental. We spent two weeks here and it felt like staying with family. I noticed that one review commented on how close the highway is. Please know this is not a problem. You can see the highway when approaching the home from the road, but you cannot hear it and it does not interfere with the experience. This is very high quality stay with caring and involved hosts that will make sure you have all you need. I highly recommend.

The house was exactly like the photographs. From the moment of booking to check-out, D. Adelaide was an excellent host, always available and attentive. The amenities were very comfortable and every corner of the house surprised us with positive details, thought out in detail to ensure the well-being and comfort of all. The reception by D. Gloria was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the welcome cake... was simply divine! Without a doubt, an experience to repeat.

Beautiful peaceful location in a traditional village with outstanding host who made us feel very welcome. Fábio was always on hand to help and organised a wine tour and lunch in a local restaurant for us which was absolutely fabulous - we never felt rushed and it was extremely interesting. Fábio has worked hard to make this a place with a personal touch. Have no hesitation in recommending this place and would love to come back again.

We were with family and the stay was warm and peaceful. I recommend the location, the house is wonderful and the neighbors are very friendly. It is important, however, to inform that it is necessary to have a vehicle and clarify more clearly that access to them can be challenging , depending on which one it is. The entrance to the house is complicated, because for those who arrive at night is not illuminated and access to the self check in vault is not accessible to outsiders. One of the rooms is more difficult to access, ideal for younger people, but not for visitors with more limitations. Despite the recommendations for improvement, we emphasize the tranquility, the incredible landscape, and the comfort of the house, which is thought in detail. Let's go back! Thank you

Really great beatiful quiet place in the middle of the mountains. Fully recommend!

Our stay was excellent! Elsa was over the top in every way! We had a gift of wine and custard tarts when we got there, Elsa arranged a reservation at an amazing restaurant and she responded quickly to any inquiry. Would definitely come back to this beautiful sanctuary.

The house do Bobal has exceeded our expectations, although in the photos it is already seen that it is very complete, being there it is even more beautiful and very cozy, I know that it was decorated by a family and not only for guests, we felt right at home, the beds are comfortable, the house was super clean, the back patio is great, we have enjoyed the hammock and also the game of darts, in the house there are more options of board games to play in front of the fireplace if it is cold as in our case... we were able to bring our chihuahua and we had a lot of privacy, the village is also very nice and there are several paths and things to visit in the area. Luis is very friendly and has had details with us such as asking the baker to leave the fresh bread at the door in the morning! super recommended! We're already looking forward to coming back :)

I've stayed in many places around the world, but Conceição has been the best host to date, very friendly and helpful. The house is very well taken care of, and we feel totally welcome.

We really enjoyed staying in Sousas apartment. Nice and clean. Big bedroom and bathroom with a super nice shower. Everything was new and the elevator right into the apartment was a nice feature. We liked the neighbourhood with supercool restaurants close by and most sights in easy walking distance. Thank you for hosting us.

We were seduced by this exotic, quiet and beautiful place! From the accommodation to the outdoor facilities, everything was great! our 11 and 6 year old children also enjoyed the place. Great hospitality from the host, we already know in advance that we will be back!!

A true Gem in Porto! Staying at Sonia’s villa in Porto was hands down one of the biggest highlights of my entire trip to Portugal. While I enjoyed many places across the country, Porto truly stood out – and a big part of that was because of this incredible stay. Honestly, I found Porto to be even more charming and enjoyable than Lisbon – cleaner, cozier, and far more relaxed. The villa itself felt like a true home away from home – spotless, thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed even a nice pool, a beautiful view on sunrises and sets and incredibly comfortable. You can tell Sonia genuinely cares about her guests’ experience. Sonia was an exceptional host – always available, super friendly, and incredibly fast with her responses. She gave me fantastic recommendations that made exploring the city even more memorable. I’m already planning to return to Porto, and without a doubt, I’ll be booking with Sonia again. If you’re visiting Porto, this is the place to stay – no question

A beautiful place! Definitely coming back ❤️

very clean apartment with all necessary amenities and close to very nice attractions.. totally recommended

Nuno was very responsive and helpful he recommended local places to visit and a great restaurant. The setting was beautiful in the Dorrou valley and was home from home

We loved staying at Vitor’s property. The view from the balcony was absolutely amazing. The apartment was well equipped. Vitor was a lovely host who showed us his wine making business and gave us local recommendations. He also made sure we have candles when the was a long power outage in the whole country and made us feel like he’s giving us extra thought.

Quiet place. Great for getting out of the city and distracting your mind. I slept very well, no noise. Whirlpool works well. Only microwave and barbecue so I took my portable electric oven to cook.

Very hospitable and close hosts. They facilitated the stay as much as possible and very attentive if we needed anything.

We are very very thankful to Helena and Luis. They are very sweet, helpful and amazingly kind. We felt right at home in this absolute stunning place. It is a bit difficult to find, but Helena was a great help. We LOVED it and enjoyed it to the max! We will be back for sure!

This is a stunning place secluded away from anything nearby. Great for a retreat to be restful, listen to nature and admire the beautiful horses. Cheila was an incredible host, super responsive to any questions or comments and gave us some beautiful lemons from her tree. The house is really well throughout and all amenities are included. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. ❤️

It was a fantastic stay. I was very surprised. The photos are good, but the place still surprises you in a very good way.

I loved my stay! Check-in was very flexible and extremely easy. Very good organization so we could be more relaxed about the check-in time. The house is amazing, I easily felt that I loved living there. The place is super quiet and peaceful and allows you to relax and enjoy the rest. D. Maria Luísa was very, very dear. She promptly sent all instructions and always answered all questions. She always had a word of appreciation in every message. Definitely a place I recommend!

When we arrived at the property we immediately felt relaxed and at peace - the view is simply incredible ! The outside terrace is big with beautiful views and plenty of seating, a BBQ, heated lamps etc. Inside is spacious - a good kitchen, a lovely record player, lots of sofas. The location is great - you are so close to so many amazing outdoor activities - we really enjoyed exploring the rivers, mountain walks and the Lagoons ! Many thanks !

the house is private with amazing views, miguel and his cousin were both very friendly and even offered a late checkout. even with cloudy weather the pool stayed warm enough to enjoy.
