The Little Vineyard surpassed all our expectations. A beautiful property with an amazing view. Gilbert and Elle are fantastic hosts and have obviously put a lot of thought into design and comfort. We loved the pool and used the BBQ every night. We wanted a relaxing family holiday and that is what we enjoyed. There are some lovely little coffee and cake places within a 10 minute drive and a very nice restaurant about 15 minutes away. Thank you so much for a great holiday.

My husband and I stayed here for our fifth anniversary and had the most wonderful experience. Gilbert and Elle welcomed us so warmly to their beautiful property. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the view was even more breathtaking than we imagined. The home itself was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and had such a cozy, welcoming feel—it truly made our celebration special. Gilbert went above and beyond by sharing local treats and giving us great tips on where to go and what to see. We will definitely be coming back!

After some busy days in Porto, we stayed here with our three teenagers and fully enjoyed this quit and peaceful place, the beautiful, comfortable house and the nice pool. The view of the Douro River from every corner of the property is simply breathtaking and makes the stay truly worthwhile. But also the olive and lemon trees in the garden added to the charm. Moreover, Elle and Gilbert are very warm and friendly hosts, and we were welcomed by all kinds of local treats. They were also very helpful in giving all kinds of recommendations about the area and restaurants. During our stay, we went hiking, enjoyed a wine tasting, and spent plenty of time relaxing by the pool while soaking in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect as a family.
