Luxury Douro Valley villa overlooking the river next to a sister property that shares a quaint boat dock and majestic views.
The seductive mix of Olde Worlde architecture, eclectic interior design, super clean-lined kitchen, roughhewn natural stones, contemporary artwork contrasted with hills of well-tended vines and the omnipresent Douro River all add up to one of the more distinct properties in the region.
Sitting next door to its equally divine sister property, the two share a boat dock and some of the most majestic views of the river flanked by a continuously changing color palette of vines, trees and shrubs.
Arrive by boat, sit for hours on the riverside terrace watching the changing scene throughout the day, languish in the riverside lap pool or dine alfresco under the clearest sky studded with a million stars.

About the area
Sabrosa, nestled in the picturesque Douro Valley in northern Portugal, is a destination that offers a serene escape into the world of wine, history, and natural beauty. This charming municipality is steeped in tradition and is known for its contribution to the production of Port wine, one of Portugal's most famous exports.
The Douro Valley itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its terraced vineyards that elegantly cascade down the hillsides to the Douro River below. Wine enthusiasts flock to Sabrosa to tour the quintas (wine estates), where they can learn about the winemaking process and indulge in tastings of the region's renowned wines, including the fortified Port and the increasingly popular Douro table wines.
Sabrosa is also rich in history, with several notable figures hailing from the area, including Ferdinand Magellan, the famous explorer. Visitors can delve into the local history by exploring the town's historic center, with its cobbled streets and traditional stone houses, or by visiting the Magellan's birthplace in the nearby village of Vila Real.
The region's natural landscapes are a draw for outdoor enthusiasts. The dramatic scenery of the Douro Valley offers a perfect backdrop for hiking, cycling, or a leisurely cruise along the river. The vistas of terraced vineyards, olive groves, and almond trees in bloom are particularly breathtaking and provide ample opportunities for photography.
For those interested in architecture and religion, the area is dotted with ancient churches and chapels, such as the Church of São Salvador do Mundo, which boasts a stunning location with panoramic views of the valley.
Sabrosa's gastronomy is another highlight, with local restaurants serving traditional Portuguese dishes that are often paired with the region's exquisite wines. The cuisine is characterized by rich flavors and the use of fresh, local ingredients, including olives, almonds, and an array of meats and cheeses.
In essence, Sabrosa is a destination that offers a tranquil yet enriching experience. It's a place where one can immerse themselves in the pleasures of fine wine, delve into the depths of Portuguese history, and bask in the natural splendor of one of the country's most beautiful regions. Whether you're a wine connoisseur, a history buff, or simply someone in search of a peaceful retreat, Sabrosa is a place that promises to captivate and delight.
