Farmstay vacation rentals in Douro River

Magnifique !!! Très belle maison traditionnelle avec piscine, table de ping-pong, babyfoot, vélos…. Un petit coin de paradis ! Un peu loin de toutes attractions touristiques, mais il y a tous les commerces utiles à Tabua. Pour passer de belles vacances en famille je recommande fortement. Merci à Melanie pour toutes les instructions utiles dès notre arrivée !

My stay at Quinta das Águias was truly unforgettable. The Peacock Cottage looks exactly like the photos, with large windows that offer views of the surrounding nature and animals—even from inside. Most of the farm’s five hectares are open for guests to explore, and wandering through the grounds is a peaceful experience in itself. But what really made my visit special were the animals. Many are incredibly friendly and love interacting with visitors—I’ve never received so much affection from cats in my life! I left feeling recharged, grateful, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The energy of the place, with its serene nature and warm-hearted animals, is simply magical.

Our stay in this house was really fantastic! The house itself was amazing and offered incredible tranquility. The hostess is one of the friendliest people we have ever met. Upon arrival we could easily park our car in the driveway of the hostess's house. She was so thoughtful in helping us get our luggage to the vacation house. To get to the house, you walk through a beautiful vineyard. This walk is an experience in itself, the surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. Once we arrived at the cottage, we were treated to an amazing view of the vineyard. The house itself is cozy and comfortably furnished, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a swimming pool within walking distance of the house, located on a hill. The pool is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and it was wonderful to spend time there with the family. All in all, this house was really a highlight of our first holiday in Portugal. We can recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay!

un lugar hermoso, para desconectarse de todo, la cabaña es muy linda, tiene una vista preciosa, el desayuno es perfecto y lo mejor del lugar, la atención, se esfuerzan por hacer de tu experiencia algo memorable

This place ought to be officially recognized as a national treasure! The house and grounds are full of historic charm and the scenery is spectacular. The farm fresh breakfast was truly impressive and the hospitality was top notch. We stayed for two nights but would have been very happy to have stayed for an entire week if our schedule had allowed for it. Many thanks to the owners for creating such a wonderful guest house and for the warm welcome and great sightseeing tips. It was the highlight of our trip from Canada.

This place is peaceful and surrounded by nature with lots of trees and singing birds, includind the chickens that create an "quinta" atmosphere. The accommodations were clean and cozy, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and caring. I highly recommend this countryside gem for a relaxing escape.

Beautiful spot with private pool and lots of space to enjoy the sunshine. Really peaceful location with amazing restaurant attached, which I recommend visiting. Isabel was hugely responsive and incredibly helpful throughout. Highly recommend a visit!

Os anfitriões são muito simpáticos e prestativos. O espaço é bonito, limpo e confortável. Gostei muito da localização, do silêncio e dos animais da quinta. Bom ambiente para relaxar e desfrutar da naturezauito perto dos incríveis passadiços do Mondego e foi esse passeio o principal motivo que justificou pernoitar nesta quinta.

Wir haben die Unterkunft von Rita für einen Firmenausflug gebucht und für uns könnte es keinen besseren Ort geben. Hier hat sich die Arbeit einfach nur wie Urlaub angefühlt. Das Haus ist einfach nur wunderbar und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Rita ist auch super nett und wir werden definitiv wieder kommen.

A casa é lindíssima e muito espaçosas, tem muitas atividades como jogos de tabuleiro e cartas, perfeitas para jogar com a família especialmente se tiver filhos, por não ter vizinhos e ser situada num sitio muito belo e pacato é ótima para relaxar e aproveitar a natureza

Nós adoramos a estadia, a casa era bonita e acolhedora. Tinha imensa lenha para nos mantermos quentinhos na sala. A cozinha era moderna. Só tenho 2 coisas a apontar: - tinha todos os amenities necessários à exceção de um esfregão para lavar a loiça. - a placa do forno não estava bem lavada (nós deixamo-la mais limpa do que a encontramos) Por fim, deixo a sugestão ao anfitrião que o espaço exterior tem imenso potencial e poderia ser melhor utilizado como por exemplo com uma piscina, especialmente nos meses mais quentes.

Casa muito acolhedora e com tudo o que é preciso para passar uns dias em família ou com amigos. Recomendo totalmente.

We had a lovely stay here - the lemon farm is really pretty and the ponies are so friendly! The bungalow is gorgeous and exactly as shown in the pictures. There were lots of additional things added which made this great, such as the pool lighting up at night, a projector so you can watch tv on the deck, and lots of blankets provided. Jorge was really responsive and happy to help. Would recommend this stay.

Hemos ido 5 parejas (10 personas) a pasar un fin de semana y lo hemos pasado muy bien. En principio íbamos a ser 12 pero dos no han podido ir y creo que, -si bien espacio había y hubiésemos entrado-, para 10 personas la casa esta bien, tal vez los 12 hubiésemos estado un pelín más apretados. La casa es muy bonita en un entorno muy natural, tranquilo y con privacidad. Aunque el clima no nos acompañó mucho hemos disfrutado la galería, la chimenea y la casa en sí. Las camas eran cómodas, las vistas bellísimas. Lo único que hemos sugerido a Javier es que la nevera demora un poco en enfriar bien (cuando la regulas), y que nos hemos quedado sin agua caliente cuando nos dimos la ducha varios. Creemos que en verano con la piscina sería un disfrute total. ¡De seguro volveremos!

This home is absolutely beautiful, we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. Everything we could possibly need was there, from a fully equipped kitchen to thoughtful touches throughout the house and garden. It was spotless, and we especially appreciated the fresh citrus and eggs from the birds next to the property waiting for us. Carolina and her husband are exceptional hosts, warm, generous, and incredibly helpful. All their recommendations were perfect. Do note that a car is essential, and confident driving is a must in the area. The game room with the pool table was a great bonus, especially on rainy days. The nature, the views, and the garden were all stunning. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Foi a segunda vez que escolhemos este espaço e foi excelente! Sentimo-nos em casa! Usufruir de tanta natureza e animais, da calma e do conforto! É sem dúvida um local muito bom para descansar e para bons momentos sozinha ou em família! De certeza que iremos voltar! E a Susana é muito simpática e prestável! Gostámos muito!

Nuestra casita fue Alambique, coincidía perfectamente con la descripción, todas las comodidades ne eso; la cama muy confortable; chimenea, aseo y un baño completo, dos TV…la ubicación muy bonita y tranquila. Sin duda súper recomendable.

What an incredible stay we had! Francisco and family were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. As others have said, he even brought us fresh bread in the morning, which we combined with local cheese, jam, and a nice Nespresso coffee. All very good but really it was the breakfast setting that made it amazing. Essentially you’re sitting out on a terrace in the sky overlooking the vineyards and the Vale de Mendiz. Stunning! Everywhere you go is a picture taking. The colours in the valley view are constantly changing with the light. Francisco also made recommendations which were very enjoyable outings, e.g. beautiful Casa de Mateus (we had lunch at Bistro Palcio just outside the main gate, try it), winery Quinta de São Luiz (Francisco’s son João recommendation), Pinhão for Douro river boat tour (the drive there along the valley is incredible). Must not forget the family’s happy-go-lucky long haired dachshund Pappy. What a cutie! Merci beaucoup Francisco! Gary & Suzie

Gostamos muito da estadia, a casa está localizada numa zona muito tranquila e perto de zonas para percursos a pé e de restaurantes a poucos minutos de carro. Fomos com a nossa mascote de 4 patas e foi optimo, a casa tem imenso espaço exterior para ela correr e brincar e muito perto, localizam-se trilhos da Ecopista do Vouga. O António foi muito prestável e atento. A sua mãe, a Dona Gina, simplesmente fantástica. Muito preocupada para que não nos faltasse nada no conforto da casa e ainda teve a amabilidade de nos presentear com uns docinhos regionais muito bons. Certamente que voltaremos à Casa do Professor!

Cannot say enough about this place, its everything it says and lots more. The ladies that service the property along with preparing breakfasts were simply awesome. Aurora's chocolate cake was a hit, and we had it for dessert and breakfast! The location and views are postcard perfect and that comes with some nervous driving to get there, but once you know the quirks really not that bad, just be careful. Highly recommending this to friends that are planning a trip to this beautiful part of the world.

La casa es espectacular. Un espacio privado para relajarse y disfrutar de la naturaleza. la finca y la casa están cuidadas hasta el más mínimo detalle. Rui contesta muy rápido, pone facilidades y recomienda productos de la zona y visitas culturales.

Estadia 5 estrelas. Casa moderna, confortável e agradável, com um espaço exterior muito bem cuidado, com piscina, jacuzzi, ginásio e o som relaxante da água a correr e o som dos pássaros. A Ana e o Paulo foram muito prestáveis.

What a fabulous place! We absolutley enjoyed our time here and will look to visit again. Loved the space around the property and the views all of which made it very private and exclusive. Anibal responded quickly to questions and is a great host!

Ficámos muito satisfeitos com a estadia! A casa era bonita e exatamente como descrito, com uma vista fantástica a partir da sala. A localização é excelente, de fácil acesso e bastante prática. A anfitriã e os pais foram extremamente simpáticos e acolhedores, o que tornou a experiência ainda mais agradável. Sem dúvida, recomendamos!
