Holiday houses in Pinhão

The place was amazing. The surrounding was beautiful full of trees and life. All the animals on the farm are so sweet. It is so nice to take a walk around and pet the animals. We came there in February which was a bit colder. Rolando made sure we always had wood for the fireplace. We were very warm welcomed by Rolando, Dulce and the dogs. During our stay Rolando and Dulce made sure we felt welcome and that we had all we needed. Near the farm there is a small grocery store and a cafe which were lovely. Dulce made us soups. The stay was lovely. Dulce and Rolando are great and kind people. We would love to come again.

Jesse was a wonderful host and was very helpful. The views are stunning and the beds are very comfortable. Not to be missed are the delicious meals Jesse’s neighbor can cook for you at a very reasonable price. They were the culinary highlight of my trip to Spain and Portugal. We also had an amazing day, renting e-bikes and climbing up mountains seeing spectacular views. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Magical location in the Douro Valley. Maria was wonderful, we had everything we needed for a 3 night stay in winter. Can’t wait to come back in warmer months to see the full beauty of the Douro.

Enjoyed a peaceful stay in Esphinhosa. The house is very inviting with plenty of room. Views are amazing with the vineyards across the lane. Virtually no traffic since it is the 2nd last place on the road. A leisurely 5-minute stroll to the little hamlet of Esphinhosa. There's a very small coffee bar & grocery store in town. It has the very basics to get you through. If you plan to make your own meals in the well-equipped kitchen, remember to purchase your groceries on the way. For large luggage, you will want to access the 2nd floor from the back door up the hill rather than using the spiral stairs. Also, Google Maps took us straight through Espinhosa. To squeeze through the houses where R.Direita meets R.dos Valados, we had to fold up the mirrors on our Dacia Duster with likely only 1/2" to spare on either side. Make sure to use Rua Cimo do Povo and follow the signs for Valado Houses. Good local food at Restaurante Pesqueirense in São João da Pesqueir.

Phillipa and Paul were absolutely lovely to work with and their property is unbelievable! We felt like we owned a Quinta for a few nights! we got to explore the property, visit with Paul and one of their sons, and savor the beauty of the Douro. They were proactive with communication and sourced a number of wonderful adventures, activities and meals. Without their guidance our trip would have been less fun!

This was the most magical place for our family of five. I now want to come back and try all of Miguel’s other properties. A true highlight was taking advantage of the connections to local vendors that come with the hosts recommendations. Private dinner at the Pinta Lounge was amazing . I said to my husband at one point , “ I am so happy I could cry” - that sums up this cottage.

To stay at Ricardo’s house is a one of a kind experience. The house is in the middle of an old wine yard. You can walk for hours on the terrain, which has multiple levels of wine ranks. Private waterfall and forest. There are some donkeys, they are the natural lawn mowers. We were there in February, which means cold nights. A big pile of wood in the shed next door, which you can use the burn in the wood stove to stay warm or the inside BBQ. (In summertime it is prohibited by the state to BBQ outside due the risk of forest fire) Douro valley is beautiful, you’ll need some driving experience though (we ended up on the narrowest en steepest roads, in thick fog, big thrill!) Coffee house around the corner, restaurants close by and even a Go Kart track at 4km. I could tell way more, but I won’t. This is a must see and a highly recommended stay.

Beautiful villa with breathtaking views!

When the wildfires created anxiety and uncertainty about our stay in Casa Rustica, Elisabete took care of everything; she provided a safe haven until there was no further risk in the Rossas area. Thank you so much, Elisabete, you did everything to reassure us and make us comfortable. As for Casa Rustica, it's absolutely wonderful - gorgeous pool, Jacuzzi, relaxing living spaces and a well-equipped kitchen; the garden is lush with fruit and there are beautiful views from the balconies. Thanks to Sandra, too, for a great show-around and providing on-the-spot help if needed. In a nutshell, all fab!
