Description
Carefully camouflaged on the verdant banks of the Golden River, this magnificent location is the perfect venue for an incredible family get-together or to host a special event. Reach out and it feels as if you can touch the vines on the opposite river bank. This home is masterfully situated to totally immerse yourself in all that the Douro area has to offer: Breathtaking views up and down the river, wine and Port tastings galore right on your doorstep, hikes, and sunset sailing. the list goes on.
This charming home has been painstakingly restored to maintain the existing Old-World charm while adding New-World conveniences and infrastructure. With restoration, the home has been reborn and exudes comfortable, cool, modern interiors with lots of light, open-plan living, and five-star bedroom suites. Still, with its old stone walls, the original wine-crushing wells, and carefully restored, unique features – it’s easy to imagine how this property lived its former life.
At this location, there are several nearby activities to enjoy;
Personalized Vineyard Tours and Tastings, tour will introduce you to the wine and Port-making process.
Hiking, what a wonderful way to take in the sheer beauty of your surroundings! Directions are available so you can find your way to the surrounding vineyards for an on-foot tasting experience.
Picnic, an absolutely favorite way to spend a day here is to hike up the hill beyond the furthest-reaching vines and lavish in a spectacular picnic that will be set up for you by the staff.
River Boat, Douro means gold in Portuguese. Here, you have a golden opportunity to enjoy the river as well as the many wine houses and restaurants along this beautiful body of water. Enjoy a day – or even an overnight stay – on a charming riverboat cruise.
