Cottage a Ancede

Jonas Vin. Lituania

We lived in the authentic house/villa which was outstanding. Near the villa, there were many historical cars – old Porsches, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz and others. We enjoyed the pool near the main building of vineyard with comfy sunbeds. The nearby little towns gave us very pleasant food experiences. Just ask the reception of the recommendations.

Historical, unique, beautiful & magical house, spectacular views! Comfortable beds, interior and very good breakfast. Welcoming and friendly owners.

The most memorable and enjoyable week in Portugal! Casa do Vale de Cerdeiras offers a beautiful panoramic view from a villa with elegant style and all the modern conveniences, in the midst of historic villages and the famous Duoro River Valley, with many local cultural experiences and nearby vineyards for wine tasting and tours. An ancient Roman road lies just beyond the property gate for a rare hiking adventure! We are three couples from Canada who had the unique pleasure of enjoying this gorgeous villa and the ministrations of it’s most gracious host and hostess. Recommendations were offered on request, a traditional dinner was hosted at the villa (special thanks to Paula and Fernanda), two authentic local culinary experiences (Tasquina do Fumo; Casa do Lavrador), a cruise on the Duoro River, and a tour of the beautifully restored Mosteiro de Santo Andre de Ancede were all arranged by our host. We also visited Regua and Quinta da Pacheca for a wine tasting tour and lovely lunch. We all agree this was the most helpful and accommodating a host could be, while still respecting our privacy. It is clear Victor wants his guests to have the best experience possible in the home and land he undoubtedly loves.

I loved the unique qualities of the property. The setting was really pretty.

We cannot recommend Casa Catita enough, from the expectional hosts, who went above and beyond, especially poor Vitor who waited for 2 hours for us in the airport, due to lost luggage 🙈 to the most beautiful home and a view that will stay in my mind forever. The pool was a great size and we all really enjoyed the games room and our 5 year loved the large playroom with so many toys to keep him entertained. Great memories were made, and we will definitely be back. We highly recommend going down to the river, its breathtaking. Thank you so much Vitor and Luisa for sharing your home with us xxx

This is a unique property, attached to a church (would love to know the history) Lots of rooms, but it seemed we were the only people there. Tina met us there and showed us around the building and made us breakfast in the morning. Obrigada!

An exceptional home to stay while visiting the Douro Valley. Right from the beginning, our host made us feel welcome and at home. We were offered local wine, fresh peaches from the garden, cake and treats! The home was clean and comfortable for our party of 5. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms generously sized. We immensely enjoyed our evenings while seating on the terrace overlooking the valley and sipping the local wines. What an ideal way to spend a vacation!

It’s a gorgeous place to explore the area, clean, great view, exceptional pool area, we were especially fond of the friendly family dog Flory, which came to greet us every day.

A perfect location for a relaxing stay. Our host was helpful with prompt communications about local amenities. A brilliant few days spent in a lovely villa.
