Casa José Lourenço

Comfortable and spacious place.

We loved everything! A brand new full-size home with luxury interior, two beautiful balconies, and a personal swimming pool. The views of the Douro valley were stupendous. Jose and his wife were very friendly and went overboard with helpful suggestions for nearby restaurants, and we especially enjoyed seeing their winemaking operation. After departing, we had lunch in a nearby town where I accidentally forgot my purse and passport. Hours later, we discovered it was missing. We called Jose in a panic, and his wife drove to the restaurant and managed to recover everything! Talk about “above and beyond the call of duty!” We plan to stay here every time we are in the Douro Valley. Fantastic house and hosts!

Not a thing! We were overjoyed.

Amazing view of the valley. Place was clean and very well appointed! Hosts were friendly and helpful!

Hilly , so not very walkable , but don’t get the views if at river level .

This is so much more than a home to sleep in. This is an entire experience. The hosts are above and beyond. The home itself has everything you could need, from all the kitchen amenities to toiletry items and even the washer/ dryer. The host offers local wine and beer and even hyper local port (made from the vineyard you're sleeping among), all of which we tasted and all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. We were also advised on where to eat, introduced to a boat driver for a tour of the Douro River and best of all, welcomed to the local hangout. The community of Folgosa is a treasure on its own. We felt so welcomed and taken care of from start to all-too-soon finish. There are places we wonder if we'll ever return to but this one will absolutely be in our future one day.

That we had to leave.

perfect hosts, beautiful view

Fantastic view of the Douro, great equipped flat (even with washing machine, which was not in the description at all!), friendly, available hosts!

Amazing views of the Douro River and Valley. Hosts were very accommodating. Property is very modern and clean.

Nothing to dislike!
