We stayed in a bungalow. Cute, clean, well appointed rooms and nice bathroom. Loved the private patio with a great view. The pool was clean and fresh with lots of outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Lovely, helpful staff. We didn’t leave the property once in our two day stay. Couldn’t think of a more beautiful place to see.
United States of AmericaIf you are looking to enjoy in a serene environment and don’t mind a thousand twists & turns of exhilarating driving (from Porto) to get there, this is the place to do it. Friendly staff. Nearby restaurant serves delicious food! Tell Fernando that Peter (the British man) & Diane say Hello! He’s from the region, born & raised in Douro, proud of his roots and knows how to treat his guests. If we return to the area, we’m consider getting there by boat or train.
United States of AmericaThe spot is great! Great views and very peaceful.
FranceThe owner and the staff were above our expectations. The location is breathtaking. The comfort is not that high but all clean. but if you want a cozy atmosphere and a chilling place, I'd easily say that it's maybe one of my top three places to stay whole my travel life. And one day with not in plan rented the boat. Amazing experience. Take your sailing license with you. And stayed at boat for an extra night. Get your food and drinks with you, You'll enjoy even more. Coming from almost 4000kms away from İstanbul we aşk for ourselves when is the next time to visit there Douro and no question we'll stay there and most probably on the boat if possible.
TurkeySuch a beautiful property! The chalet is perfectly equipped, with a large private terrace and stunning views of the river and mountains. Everything is so quiet and peaceful. We went kayaking, which was free! And there's an amazing lunch restaurant just down the road. We had a wonderful stay!
NetherlandsThe view. The owner was amazing, took us on a boat ride on the beautiful river. Great food for the breakfast in the room with the amazing view. Great value, we will be back someday!
SpainEverything! The location is awesome and the staff is very very very helpful and kind.
PortugalI love to travel off season. The weather is still beautiful but there are no crowds. This place is ideal. Right on the river. I had a lovely little apartmento with a basket of goodies for breakfast. The staff was just so kind and friendly. Alberto was especially great. I want to come back again for a longer stay in this little piece of paradise.
United States of AmericaOverall a very good experience in staying in a sail boat. The staff was great. Excellent views and the sound of the river splashing the boat was just relaxing.
PortugalThe cottages are very spacious, clean and modern. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to cook. The basket with breakfast goodies is very convenient. Also! there are oranges growing everywhere and you can pick them an eat them. There were like three heaters in our cottage (very handy for December when we visited).

I love what I do !!!
Wilderness, away from it all… You can spent a good deal of time just chilling out and enjoying the peace and quiet. The railway line is on the other side of the river and a few trains a day – plus the occasional river tour boats – pass by. These don’t disturb the peace of the area, rather, they enhance it by underlining just how quiet it is! There are three units – a small house and two chalets. There is one good restaurant close to the marina. Some great restaurants are reachable by boat. Don’t expect entertainment and nightlife but do expect to relax and enjoy the remoteness and the peace.
