The Home
Commanding a privileged location in Douro where Trás-os-Montes meets the world-renowned Alto-Douro wine region, this renovated historic farmhouse from the 19th century sits on stunning grounds surrounded by rolling countryside and an oak forest that connects to a lovely creek.
When the farmhouse was restored in 2010, it was transformed into a fabulous luxury rental home where its rustic exterior continues to blend with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for a relaxing vacation in the Douro Valley region.
Inside, the home is beautifully designed with a modern, minimalist aesthetic that complements the traditional architecture. The spacious living areas are flooded with natural light, and the large windows offer breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. In addition, the luxurious spa area and indoor swimming pool is sure to bring a smile, where you can relax...
