to get started.

An absolutely dreamy place that makes you feel like you are staying with the most welcoming, charming family.

Ines, United States of America

The facilities were excellent. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. They made our stay really enjoyable. They knew our names, even how we liked our eggs at breakfast, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Iva gave us good recommendations for places to visit in the Douro Valley, made a reservation for us at a wonderful tapas bar on the night they weren't offering dinner at Solar, and arranged for Mr. Fernando's taxi service to take us and return us from the restaurant. The friendliness was overwhelming here, and we heartily recommend it to anyone who wants a delightful base for exploration in the Douro Valley.

Bruce, United States of America

Everything from the attentiveness of the staff, service to detail to the fresh locally produced produce served at all the meals. Not to forget the amazing Home produced chocolate cake.

Charly, Germany

The staff couldn't have been nicer and more helpful, they worked very hard to ensure we had a relaxing stay. The house was very comfortable and clean.

Rebecca, United Kingdom

The young staff were so welcoming and helpful, even setting and clearing a table outside for our evening picnic and making sure they were around in case we needed anything. Any request was sorted with a smile. Comfortable rooms. We had a pleasant dinner on arrival wth some good wine. A great base to explore the area if you have a car.

Susie, United Kingdom

The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The pool area was nice, as well as our room. The owners were very helpful and even let us borrow their GPS.

Mary, United States of America

Amazing breakfast, super comfortable, clean and charmingly decorated rooms. All staff members were incredibly helpful and friendly. The property is a wonderful old yet very well modernised mansion with a large garden including a pool. Ideally located as a base to visit nearby vineyards for winetastings, to go hiking, biking, or take a train for a city visit in Porto.

Located in Paço de Sousa, only a 30-minute drive from Porto's city center with its many shops and restaurants, Solar Egas Moniz - Charming House & Local Experiences is a guest house set in a renovated 19th century house. The inviting Solar includes an outdoor swimming pool and a wine cellar.

The Solar’s rooms are separated into two main themes, popular art and history. Therefore, the decoration is contemporary, yet maintaining a traditional flavor. These air-conditioned rooms all feature a private bathroom with a hairddryer, and a view.

The Solar includes a dining area, subject to reservation. There, guests can appreciate several local delicacies and wines, and also enjoy a tapas menu.

It also features a library and a lounge with a fireplace. There guests can relax in a tranquil atmosphere and read or access the free WiFi. In the property’s wine tasting room, guests may savor several different quality wines, highlighted by the region’s characteristic Vinho Verde.

The property’s staff organizes hiking trip, subject to an extra fee. There is also the possibility to rent bikes and go for a tour of the Romanesque route. The Solar is primely located for those wishing to discover the northern region of Portugal, since it is within an hour-drive of historical cities such as Guimarães, Braga and Amarante.

The Porto Internacional Airport is a 31-minute drive from the Egas Moniz, and the Solar offers a shuttle service, at an extra fee.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.
