Marco de Canaveses Hotel Guide - Alpendorada Memorial hotels in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal.

"We had a great time at Quinta das Tilias Douro Valley. The view does not disappoint...beautiful!It was easy to find with the instructions given and Marcos was always available to answer questions before and after arrival. The property is quiet and peaceful. Easy parking for several cars. There is also a small grocery store less than a 5 minute drive away. There wasn't a lot of English spoken there, but we were able to get everything we needed with no problems. The weather was cool and damp during our visit so we did not use the pool, but it looked to be in nice condition.This was our first time using a home rental, and everything went very smoothly, from the booking to communication with Marcos. We would do this again and if you're looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway, I would highly recommend this property!P.S. We really enjoyed eating at Desvio Roulote Bar, which was only a few minutes away. Delicious, affordable food in a fun, laid back atmosphere "

"Excellent place, super nice host (Beatriz)."

"Absolutely lovely setting- the photos don’t do it justice. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Easy on site parking. Nice breakfast. Lovely pool and hot tub. Some decent restaurants within walking distance. "

"Our host was helpful. It was great to have a swimming pool overlooking the Douro. The house has air conditioning which was good as the outside temp was over 30C! The kitchen has all equipment to prepare meals. We were glad my husband is a good driver on very curved roads!"

"This is a super house to stay in, 10 minutes walk to a great beach with a bar and at the weekends kayaks and paddle boards to hire. There is also plenty of shade.The house itself is well equipped and comfortable.Miguel is a perfect host and is very speedy in his communication.It is by itself and very quiet. Our adult family had a great time staying here."

"Great location, plenty of space for us all, nice pool, beautiful view of the river. We had a really lovely time. "

"We loved the property.The lemon, orsnge and other fruit trees right outside your door. The view of the lush valley from every window and balcony. The uniqueness of the house. The kindness of our host. The sparkling clean home. There is so so much to love. The pool, views and river are stunnnnnnning. Being able to kayak on the Duoro ?! Priceless. The host was SO KIND & lovely. Just very little communication prior to checkin.The house is located about 5 minutes from a town and some fantastic restaurants. Just fyi; the roads are cobbled, narrow & windy. It’s a quaint and beautiful area.The issues:The checkin process was so much harder and confusing than it needed to be, but not enough to deter us from returning (more below)The pool is not just 500m away. It is a 10 minute walk along the road (which is quiet), down a driveway and passed the hosts main place of residence. It is a completely different property than where the rental is located. During busy times the pool and water toys would be shared with 3 other homes. My suggestion would be to have a checkin section completed by the host to make it easier for both guests and host. The house number was covered by a plant, so we guessed we were in the right spot based on photos. Inside the name of the house vs the information about the house were different - so thought we had walked into someone else’s house. No where is there direction to the pool and river (which was our main pull for this part of our holiday)"
