Casa da Encosta Douro Valley

Spectacular views!!! Your own home on the terraces of the Douro. Everything needed is provided, particularly the stocked fridge with meat, cheeses, bread, fruit, milk, water etc., which after arriving late and the shops closed, was most welcome. The views are amazing and our kids loved the different property levels with fruit trees to explore. The pool is small but delightful to cool off while lounging on the terrace. I can’t say enough about this place and location. I didn’t see a more desirable location in Pinhão to stay, and speaking with folks staying at the Vintage House, even they were jealous. Don’t look elsewhere for the most relaxing property in the area.

Nothing. I could see the steep hill being a problem for people with mobility issues, or driving up in wet weather. We arrived by train and so enjoyed the hike to walk off all the delicious meals and port!

Clean and excellent location.

The surface of the access road.

Amazing property with all of the amenities you would require. Great breakfast offering. The views are unbeatable and we enjoyed having the plunge pool at the end of a hot day!

The access road is very steep and is damaged with several potholes making the climb to the house a bit treacherous. This might not be in the control of the owners of this property and we got used to it by going up slowly

Fantastic tucked on a hill surrounded by olive trees and vines (perfect for a morning hike) and located at walking distance to the Pinhao town. The House has a real homy feel to it and is well appointed. The fridge was stocked perfectly for us to make nice breakfasts in the morning and the clothes washer was a nice bonus as we are traveling across country. We also enjoyed a nice evening using the wood burning BBQ. This house is perfect to enjoy this incredible wine country and the beautiful views it offers.

As mentioned, the road is more of a farm road and may be a challenge for some, especially sports car. We knew about it so we rented a SUV, not at all an issue.

Fridge stocked with goodies. views, nice layout and well kitted

Access road

Outstanding place. Very welcoming.

Good driving skills needed for parking 😀

The views were amazing! The villa is in a great location, so relaxing, but be sure to take the river route to get there!

There was nothing I didn’t like!

very cute, nice view and great location. Nice attention with the fridge packed with goodies.

one must be careful with entrance and exit of the car, there is not much space.

Beautiful, magical place which exceeded expectations. Lovely, clean and well equipped inside and fantastic outside spaces with wonderful views.
