Monthly Rentals in Douro

Francisca and Henrique at the Mill House Quinta do Reciao were excellent hosts. They were extremely helpful with recommendations for sightseeing and winery tours; they gave us clear driving directions which were very helpful as well. They were always quick to respond to all our communications. Such good tips, ideas and feedback enhanced our relaxation during our 5 day stay. The experience they provided us at the Mill House was really incredible- home cooked four course meals personally delivered to our door every night was wonderful! Henrique is an excellent chef! And the wine was always perfect. Our stay there was wonderful!

One of the highlights was dinner prepared by Jet and Ronald. I highly recommend this as part of the experience. We shared an amazing meal with other guests, and there was a lot of info from Ron about the local wines from the region. I missed out on Jet’s breakfast, but heard amazing things from the other guests in another studio at the property. Great place and great people.

We had a lovely stay at Terrus Winery. The cottage was comfortable and well-appointed with gorgeous views from nearly every window and a spectacular outlook over the Duoro River from the balcony. Being able to wander to a seat in the vineyard with drinks and nibbles to watch the sun go down was a highlight. Maria was a charming host, very helpful and thoughtful. We really enjoyed learning the history of the winery and see seeing its operations. It was peaceful beautiful; real food for the soul. We certainly hope to return some day.

I would highly recommend this place. The location is perfect, a stone’s throw from the city centre but away from the hustle & bustle and noise. Maria and Sergio also met us upon arrival and provided us with great recommendations. The view from the terrace is exactly as pictured - it is the perfect spot to kick back and relax on the Duoro River after a long day of walking the hills of Porto.
