Majestic Villa overlooking Douro Valley and River
We were two couples who stayed for 5 nights in Patricia’s beautiful villa and it wasn’t long enough!
Patricia is a fabulous Hostess, so helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. She went over and above to make us feel comfortable with the accommodation and area.
The villa is in a stunning rural location, and has the most spectacular views of the Douro valley and river from every room in the house. It is very spacious and extremely well equipped with every possible amenity inside and outside.
We spent two of our four days enjoying the pool and villa, it was glorious and the weather perfect. Another day was a trip into Porto (Patricia advised where best to park in the city) and the other day was visiting two wineries for tours, tastings and the stomping of the grapes, so much fun!
We stocked up with a large grocery shop on our way to the villa in Marco de Canaveses, and made a daily trip to the nearby village for fresh pastries and meat (about a 6 minute drive).
It was the highlight of our 17 days in Portugal. The most perfect place to relax and admire the natural beauty of the Douro region. We would definitely love to return one day!
