Self-Catering Accommodations in Vacalar

An oasis in a tourist destination. The small town is quiet but near enough to the main tourist attractions to make it fabulous!

It was a wonderful spacious place to explore the Douro valley from. Although the pool was closed for winter it looked like a great place to stay in the summer. The views are great and it's just a really nice place to decompress. It had a good size kitchen with all the utensils and equipment that you would need for a comfortable stay. The heaters worked well to keep us toasty. The views from the windows, balcony and porch were stellar and made for some really good photos. Boasting a nice blend of modern convenience and old world charm, it's a quintessential Portuguese house.

We had an amazing stay! The location is fantastic, and the layout of the house is perfect, with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. The surroundings are beautiful, adding to the charm of this lovely place. The hosts were exceptional – so considerate, responsive, and respectful of privacy, always there if we needed anything. This is truly a wonderful place to stay, and it's definitely on our list of places to return to. Highly recommended!

Second trip to Castas do Douro, this time with friends. We rented both apartments and were (again) very happy with everything. Comfortable, beautifully renovated and with good A/C (considering the very high temperature outside).

Staying at the vineyard was an exquisite experience. The location offered stunning views, and the pool added to the charm. The hosts were incredibly friendly, hospitable, making us feel right at home. Not to mention, the wine and olive oil were exceptional, adding an extra layer of delight to our stay. We will back.

Loved the location, beautifully and tastefully up to date home! Such a peaceful and quiet home within the Douro area. Not to mention the pool was amazing!

The location was in a very small village next to the river. The appartment was just right for our group with each party having a seperate bathroom and bedroom. The place was very clean.

Beautiful and spacious house. Host was friendly and welcoming. They gave us welcome gift which is very thoughtful. Love the town and the Douro valley region. Definitely recommend

The set up of the home was great for 2 couples. The hosts were attentive and welcoming. The views of the river from the front yard were amazing

The property was great! We had the best view ever!!! It was easy to get around to the wineries and the apartment was very comfortable and super clean!

This area and especially this place to stay is like a dream vacation. Hosts were so nice The house felt like it was something built and managed by someone who loves doing it It didnt come off as they were running a business They literally were extending their family to yours
