Holiday houses in Penalva do Castelo

Wow, wow, wow! Miquel, owner and Ana Rita, our host, were both amazing. Miquel was warm and informative. Ana Rita went out of her way on multiple occasions to make us feel welcome and nurtured, always with a big smile. Our small villa was beautiful inside and out, with river views. The accommodation almost seemed new; clean, cozy, great vibes. 15 minutes to the train station takes you into Porto or the country.

What a nice secluded tiny house! Amidst beautiful trees and welcomed by some friendly chicken and cat we enjoyed our stay. The tiny house is thorough designed and even has warm water, very comfy. Perfect for some days off the touristy places. We would love to come back! The recommendations were very good as well! Poco azul was definitely worth the one hour ride. Thanks again, Itay and Josy!

Experiência incrível. Muito acolhedor, pacífico. Muito bem recebidos, iremos definitivamente voltar!! Obrigada pela hospitalidade e atenção 😁

Uma experiência a repetir! Fui previamente contactado se forma a saber a hora de entrada na casa e quando chegámos a casa estava com uma temperatura super acolhedora em todas as divisões. A Linda fez questão de deixar um cabaz com produtos da zona que estavam maravilhosos. A cozinha super bem equipada, como tudo o que era necessário para uma estadia e família e amigos. Toda a habitação estava bem cuidada, limpa e com vários detalhes que nos faziam sentir em casa.

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

Uma excelente experiência, lugar muito acolhedor para quem quiser descansar, ver séries e entretenimento com o projetor e relaxar com o seu parceiro. Tinha as amenities necessárias para uma estadia, podendo destacar ainda a pequena toalha de rosto, que poucos AL têm. Vimos os cavalos, o cãozinho e um lindo entorno verde com flores amarelas, sem dúvidas tem uma vista muito bonita da janela. Foi bastante tranquilo e de manhã é bonito ouvir os passaros a cantar. A cabana é pequena mas acolhedora, tem AC e arrefece rápido o ambiente dentro, o que é excelente em épocas com mais calor. Alguns pontos a melhorar já foram falados à host. Pedimos o menu de pequeno-almoço, com panquecas, e pelo preço, para 2 pessoas, está muito bom, entrega fácil e puntual, super recomendo! Sem dúvida voltaremos numa próxima! 👏🏽 Obrigada!!

The most fantastic stay, we will definitely be back! The location and accommodation was even better than the photos and the host and staff were so friendly and approachable. The views from the entire place were fantastic. A very private and peaceful stay, and the breakfast baskets were very generous, full of fresh fruit, bread etc. We did a wine tasting on the vineyard and it was so reasonably priced and great wine. There was also a lovely peacock and cat that roamed the vineyard and came to say hello on occasion. Both pools were fantastic! Thank you for a really memorable holiday 🥰.

Francisca and Henrique at the Mill House Quinta do Reciao were excellent hosts. They were extremely helpful with recommendations for sightseeing and winery tours; they gave us clear driving directions which were very helpful as well. They were always quick to respond to all our communications. Such good tips, ideas and feedback enhanced our relaxation during our 5 day stay. The experience they provided us at the Mill House was really incredible- home cooked four course meals personally delivered to our door every night was wonderful! Henrique is an excellent chef! And the wine was always perfect. Our stay there was wonderful!
