Chalet vacation rentals in Douro

The place is very nice, very large, and the garden area is fantastic especially if you have children because there is no room for them to run and have fun . The Hosts have always been very kind and helpful. I highly recommend the space.

Everything was perfect! The accommodation is clean, convenient, full of charm ( wood, original and warm decoration stone) and beautifully located! Amazing views and breathtaking sunsets. Small downside: the insulation between the rooms.

Had a wonderful week at Casa Serra with my wife and 3 young children. Villa was fantastic and Patricia kindly let us check in a little early as we had an early flight. Really appreciated the welcome pack of food in the kitchen, as well as the BBQ with charcoal and lighters. WiFi worked great, and the black out blinds were a real help with 3 kids under 10. The pool was spotless and my boys loved it. I loved sitting on the balcony to read amidst the sound of birds and with an awesome view. Although you could hear a bit of road noise, it was not intrusive at all. It was a short drive into Viana, and only 25 minutes to some stunning beaches. The drive up the hill to the villa was a bit daunting to start with, but by the end of the holiday it wasn’t an issue (driving a Seat estate). We had a fantastic time, and wish could have stayed longer than 7 days. Thanks so much!

lovely house, host super friendly, we had a delicious cake waiting for us. lovely stay, would recommend!!

The photos don't really do the house justice - it is much brighter and more spacious than the listing looks. Secure parking within the grounds of the property was a bonus (access is easier via the little car park across the road). Unfortunately the smoke from the wildfires and the weather didn't allow us to make the most of the private garden, but it is a very private, peaceful space with a good selection of furniture. There is not a lot to do or see in Esmoriz (unless you love the beach), but it is a good location for visiting Porto, Braga, Coimbra, Aveiro and other places of interest in the area. The house is very close to the beach and the lovely lagoon boardwalk (connected to other walkways if you want to go further), and a short walk to a couple of bakeries and other local shops. It is a very good area for walking and cycling.

Almost a dollhouse... with everything we need. Very nice place. The entire surroundings of the farm convey a peace and a pleasant feeling of isolation. Here you can enjoy the silence and a very beautiful landscape. A walking tour in the middle of the apple trees is very good. I recommend for rest.

Lovely stay in this house, spacious and clean with really nice views, hosts were responsive and flexible and were always happy to help!

Amazing house and facilities, beautiful views from the pool across the valley. Madalena went out of her way to help us when we drove up the wrong road and was very quick to respond to questions . Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I spent two magnificent days with my family at Casa dos Vinhais. The host, José, is very nice, attentive and helpful and we were optimally received by him. The house is really special with the family's antique furniture and crockery with the very nice living room and the very beloved bedrooms. Here you sit and breathe the story. The view from the house to the Douro River is beautiful and we could not take advantage to bathe in the river but, in the warmer months, it would be possible to enjoy the outside well. We can ask to make dinner at home and the cod with cream and the alheira prepared by José e Graça was divine. In addition, the small Almoco is included in the stay and is really delicious! I hope to return here again to this home. Thank you for everything!

What an amazing house! The drive is down a steep lane and then you arrive at the wonderful house. Perched by the lake (grassy banks leading down to lake with pontoon with steps) the house is set in the hill surrounded by beautiful trees. An amazing terrace with picture perfect view across the lake. Swimming pool lovely temperature. We are outside on the terrace every night and swam in the lovely lake every day. Vicente was the most wonderful host. He met us to help direct us to the house and showed us around. Any question I had he was quick to reply. The house had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you 😊

Impeccable accommodation, positively surprised us in every way. Spectacular view, it looked like a painting because we were paralyzed only to admire so much beauty. All very functional for a comfortable stay. Extremely clean and fragrant with a special twist of rosemary in every corner that was just taken out in the backyard. We had memorable moments and recommend Casa Azul to everyone who wants to spend some calm and happy days in Montalegre. Thank you to Luis for your availability and kindness to us.

Beautiful house that is perfectly designed to go with surrounding nature in the area. You feel at home the moment you come in. Luis was extra nice and put the heating on before our arrival as it was cold and raining that day. Very thoughtful host indeed. Luis understands that those little gestures make his guests feel cosy and comfortable the moment they enter his place.

Spacious house with everything you need and wonderful views. We recommend the boat ride with Mario de Naturisnor a top guide

Great stuff unique stay
