Farmstay vacation rentals in Vila Real District

We had a great stay in the "Casa da Mata". Lost in the heart of the winery and on the edge of the forest, this house full of old-fashioned charm, well renovated and comfortable, is perfect. Every room has a beautiful view! But the best view is from the terrace where we had all our meals. We also loved our interaction with Fernanda, the best host you could hope for. And his kitchen is a delight! Fernanda feasted us with good garden products, fig tomatoes & eggs.. And very good bread, brought every morning!!! We can only thank her again for her kindness. We will keep in mind this beautiful week perched on the heights of the Douro for a long time. I forgot: the pool and common areas also added a nice plus value to this week.

A lovely place, amazing view, super easy and fluent communication with the host. Super helpful and kind. I wouldn't write an excellent review hoping the place will be available next time ;-). But both Sansão and his father, who lives next door and we met briefly, are so friendly and kind, the deserve the best review ever. Thanks for everything, we enjoyed every moment of our stay

Our favourite stay in Portugal! Beautiful location and home. The family was lovely and welcoming, and provided great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We loved our tour of their small winery!

The super nice complex is an oasis in the somewhat bustling environment of the city of Vila Real. Ins and their people are very friendly and extremely nice without being intrusive. Every morning fresh bread is brought to the house, great service, also the daily cleaning of the bungalow is very pleasant. The garden areas are very well maintained, the pool is cleaned daily, the water is super clear and refreshing. Our bungalow was more spacious than it looked like in the pictures and wonderfully cool due to the thick granite walls even at 33 degrees outside temperature. The excursion tips are lovingly drawn and well thought through. All in all, four of us had a wonderful week at Ines. Thank you!

This dreamy stay at the quinta is the perfect place for a quiet and relaxing few days. I recommend doing the wine tasting with them and to take a stroll through the vineyard. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, you feel right at home and they were so nice to provide some breakfast with fresh bread. Would very much recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and it was nice having two bathrooms. The patio was nice to enjoy too with great views all around. We had a car with us and we're able to park it across the street in an off street parking space. Julio was kind to give us a quick talk about the region and a taste of his delicious port wine.

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.

Perfect stay. Cosy even in foggy weather. Very clean, comfortable and authentic.

The apartment is comfortable and with everything you need to live there in comfort. Franz is a kind, helpful, and discreet host. He gave us the opportunity to use his pool given the heat of those days, to eat the grapes he grows and the lemons. We rarely had such a good time. We also had the company of his very nice cat Tom who occasionally came to say hello to us. The house is in a location away from the chaos of the city and offers an enchanting landscape. You need a car to get around.

We spent 9 nights in Portugal and undoubtedly the 2 nights spent by Ines were the most beautiful even if the weather was not kind... the animals, the fireplace and the tranquility of the place filled our days. Our girls look forward to coming back and will always remember the days spent here with pleasure... thank you for everything

Comfortable place right outside a small village. No real shopping in the village so buy groceries on the way in. Paula is in the process of redoing her patio and it looks like a pool is part of the renovation. When finished, it will be a great amenity. The upstairs bedrooms are all a nice size ( one is suitable for a twin bed) and bathrooms are modern and clean. The kitchen has enough stock to allow for decent meal prep and Paula has oil, spices, etc on hand. There’s a decent sitting area on front patio with upholstered patio group and nice views from most all of the windows. A family or 3 couples could make this home work for a holiday. The home is a good base to explore the region, there are beautiful towns and wineries nearby. This is a house with many steps to front door and all bedrooms are up on another floor. Probably not a great choice for a person with mobility problems. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others

Carla was very responsive to any issues we had. Very helpful and friendly despite the language differences. Casa Sophia is a perfect as a base for exploring the northern region of Portugal.

Great place among the vineyards. Extremely sweet and hospitable people who let you eat their grapes and taste their homemade wine and port. Had a wonderful stay and everyone and recommend to stay here.

Phenomenal space and very friendly hosts. It was a pity we did not have access to the pool, but it was a small gap that did not affect the experience at all. At the check in only failed not to be able to establish immediate contact, but they called after a while which also did not cause embarrassment. Beautiful and very cozy view. I will certainly return

La Quinta is located in a beautiful quiet environment. It has air conditioning and a very nice terrace for breakfast. It's the perfect place to rest, hike in the natural park or take a trip to the Douro Valley about 40 minutes away by car. Ana is very available and has good tips for finding activities in the surroundings.

We are really happy with our vacation… the place is simply a paradise! So much better in real life than in photos… the house is very well equipped, 3 bathrooms, 3 toilets, really everything you need (except washing machine) the garden is heavenly, very green, large, fruit everywhere, 2 swings, the pool is huge 🤩 the view is crazy, the owners are incredibly kind!! The managers always have good recommendations… frankly amazing!! We highly recommend this area, this location and meeting these people who are great! Thank you

This is a perfect place to go spend time with your loved ones. Away from cities and overall people. The house is cozy and has everything that you need and even more to make the stay memorable! Me and Henry loved being there and would have like to stay even more! Maria Celeste was very helpful to find us lost tourists from the mountains in darkness. And showed us the way to the cabin. Be aware that the road might not be for everyone to drive. But you can always leave the car up the hill and walk to the house. Ww would love to go back soon to the beautiful and adventurous place!

Our stay at Lugar das Letras was nothing short of magical. This beautifully restored house, once an old school, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards—a true feast for the eyes. The rooms and bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, thoughtfully designed to make us feel at home. But what made our experience truly unforgettable were Carla and Paula, the two wonderful ladies who took care of every detail. Every morning, they prepared a memorable breakfast for our entire family, filled with warmth and care. Their kindness and hospitality turned our stay into a dream. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise in the Douro Valley. Highly recommended!

Mr. Carla very friendly and helped with everything I needed. Very clean house with everything we need for some holidays. House to repeat if you go to the Side of Mondim

Beautiful house by the lake, in a very peaceful village. Had a wonderful stay with my girlfriend and we couldn't be happier!

I can't say enough about how incredible this Airbnb was, Carla and her property were so beyond expectations. My family and I felt extremely comfortable there, it is remote but absolutely beautiful. We were not able to use the pool, because the weather was a little bit cold. I jumped in for like 20 minutes and even though it was cold it was very nice. Carla was so communicative the entire time we were there, she made lots of helpful suggestions and helped us to book a tour around the Douro Valley and surrounding areas. She and a friend also cooked us breakfast every morning, which was delicious and helped us to start our day. 10 out of 10, I would absolutely return.

My family and I loved this elegant beautifully decorated with original art work villa that has orange and lemon trees that we made fresh orange juice every morning. The little town of Oliveriera(sp?) was great to walk around. It rained a lot while we were there 4 nites in April 2025 so I think that a summer stay would be better in order to use the pool and try the grapes in their vineyards. Sergio and Josesandre? Gave us 2 bottles of wine from their vineyard which was delicious. Luckily the heaters worked just fine so we could warm up the house. The WiFi and internet worked great also. Luved it! Andrea

Beautiful house with a beautiful view. We really enjoyed our stay, and Elisabete was very easy to communicate with and responsive to anything we needed. She even provided a crib. Thanks so much for hosting us!

We had a lovely stay. The accommodation is very clean, spacious and bright. We were able to enjoy the fruits and vegetables from the gardens ( oranges, salad, beans) and even the eggs of the chickens. The hosts are very kind and helpful. The welcome that was made by Maria's husband was very warm. We recommend this listing
