Monthly Rentals in Santa Maria de Sardoura

Our stay at Douro BlueHouse was divine. After a busy week in the city of Lisbon it was lovely to have a beautiful home to relax and recharge. The styling of the house was impeccable. You feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere yet have the marina or town within minutes. A visit to a beautiful vineyard Casa de Vilacetinho and lunch at Tasca Dino was lovely. If you just want to stay in and soak up the views there is a lovely restaurant bar on the marina just a 5 minute walk down the hill. Highly recommend taking the time to visit and stay .

This place is incredible. A renovated house from the medieval period, it’s even more impressive than the pictures. The setting is beautiful, with a view of the valley right out the bedroom window. The place itself is spotless and the automated check-in was a breeze. The host even had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and it’s well stocked with coffee. Like most homes in the region, be prepared to drive for groceries and restaurants - and take note that the drive to the house is steep downhill and at times narrow - but take it slow and you’ll be fine. The location of this place is perfect if you want to visit both Porto and the Douro valley. 10/10 would recommend!

Very peaceful stay with stunning views, beautiful sunsets, very well furnished outdoor area. Very pleasant accommodation

Thank you from all of us to Michel and Jacqueline for being such wonderful hosts. We organised a stay at their Quinta for my mum's 70th birthday and it did not disappoint. The home itself was clean, spacious and cool with plenty of room for us all. The outside space was simply stunning - far-ranging views across the valley, lots of walks through pretty, fruiting archways and up to the forest. A natural pool near the top of the hill so you can swim whilst taking in the views. We were able to pick herbs from their garden for cooking and we made fresh lemonade and orange juice from their fruit trees. I can't recommend this place enough. Jacqueline also helped arrange a private boat tour down the Douro river where we visited the Lovers Island and swam in a waterfall. And when we arrived back at the riverbank a fabulous picnic buffet with a cake was waiting for us which brought my mum to tears (in a good way!). All run by locals and for a very good price. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
