About this cottage rental
Casa da Montanha, (Mountain house) is located in a farm close to the Douro Valley were the Port Wine is produced, (12 km) that has been recently recognized by Unesco as world heritage. Close by are historical villages, medieval monasteries, and a fascinating medieval village almost intact since the 12th century. Being so close to the river Douro this makes possible for visitors to envoy trips by boat on the river including the visit to wine cellars. This property that covers 8 acres, lawns, shrubs, and trees most of them oak, has been in my family for the last 200 years, the house is located at 750 metres high with a spectacular view over a beautiful valley facing a mountain of great beauty. Sitting in the garden or by the pool, gazing the view, breathing fresh air, it's a great place to relax due to the fact of being totally isolated in nature, the nearest house is the owners house at a distance of 60 metres .

This place is perfect!Seriously beautiful. Surrounded by mountains and peace and quiet, you can't help but relax.We alternated between days of exploring beautiful places, full of history (recommended by José), and days of staying in and enjoying the pool and the loungers.I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing break somewhere, away from noise, distraction, stress, people or being busy.José, the host, is a lovely bloke and balances always being available and helpful with also being discreet and leaving you alone when you're just doing your own thing.Oh, and that window!! With that view!! Wow! Easily one of my best ever holidays!! Thank you, José.

Peace and quiet on a hillside with birdsong and wildlife. This is a beautiful property with the most wonderful view and hospitable host. Absolute relaxation. We will definitely return.

Wonderful location and views. The drive down to the property from main road not for the faint hearted but worth it. Simple layout inside and everything worked. Could do with easier access ie set of steps from upper lounge/kitchen to the lower level for the outside patio and pool areas. Have to carry meal down tight spiral staircase through bedroom or take outside and round house down very steep slope. The host Jose was brilliant, very helpful and full of tips for best places to go or eat out. We had some amazing meals in restaurants we would never have found without his knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
