Casa do Douro

Great host, very helpful, we forgot our notebook and Joana helped so much in sending it back. Good place also, though the streets of this small village are a bit vertical :)

The apartment was very sweet, clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and it was incredibly difficult to find. There was no parking close so we had to carry our luggage fairly far. When I was booking the apartment it said it was in Alijo. This is not true. It is actually in a tiny village about 20-25min from Alijo. When we arrived there was nowhere to eat and nothing was open. It would have been very helpful to know this prior to booking. We thought we would be in the town of Alijo and be able to walk somewhere for dinner and breakfast. Also it was a rainy, cold night and the apartment didn't have any source of heat. Thankfully there were extra blankets for the beds so we weren't cold once we went to sleep but hanging out in the living room was chilly.
