This Caldas de Aregos home is perfect for a relaxing break in Portugal. It’s surrounded by nature in the Douro region, where you can take a cruise along the river and discover local vineyards. If you’re anything like us, you’ll spend most of your time outside, swimming in the private pool and lounging in the sunshine. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining, and a fully-equipped kitchen inside. We love the blend of traditional features like wood-beamed ceilings with a bohemian vibe – this is a charming and comfortable space to call home.

Located in the small village of Gouvães do Douro, this amazing home overlooks the Douro valley taking in the vineyards and olive groves. Whether you’re taking a dip in the private swimming pool, lounging in the sun on the terrace’s day bed, or even peering out of the large windows from inside the home, the position of this villa offers some truly stunning vistas to enjoy. 

Start your relaxing days here with the breakfast that has been prepared for you. We would love to enjoy our coffee alfresco on sunny days, to enjoy the morning breeze and get a first glimpse of the valley each day.  Then, get competitive and let off some steam in the games room before lunch. 

A trip to the Duoro wine region of Portugal wouldn’t be complete without the wine, so why not treat yourself to a wine tasting which can be reached in as little as thirteen minutes by car? Select your favourite wines to take home and pair with a delicious dinner that can be cooked alfresco on the barbecue. Then, enjoy the meal outside too so you can admire the sun setting over this wonderful panorama as you sip your wine.

Valley of the Wines

Private Parking

Set in the heart of the spectacular Douro Valley, this 17th-century estate boasts sweeping river views. The vibe here is country living with a touch of grandeur - think exposed brick walls, four-poster beds, chandeliers and shutters. And with rooms spread across the main house and four charming outbuildings, there's plenty of space for up to sixteen guests. Spend your days lounging by the private pool or wandering the landscaped gardens, then choose between cruising the Douro River or sampling the region’s finest wines at one of the surrounding vineyards. This is slow living at its very best.

Vines of the Douro

Juicer

Outdoor Pool

One of the highlights of this stunning home has to be the incredible views. The outlook over the River Douro, as well as the vineyards that surrounds the entire villa, is beautiful. You can enjoy the vistas from the private pool and balconies, as well as from the large, bright open-plan living space and bedrooms, too. When you want to explore the area, the town of Peso da Régua, situated on the western edge of the port-wine region, is just over 10 kilometres away.

There’s no price for guessing what the city of Porto is famous for. However, you may be surprised to find that this fortified wine begins its life far from the city, in the vineyards found upstream and on either side of the river Douro, and it’s here where you’ll find this eye-catching villa. Overlooking the slopes of Portugal’s wine region, this home boasts panoramic views that are almost impossible to tear your eyes away from. At sunset, make a beeline for the infinity pool that stretches out across the width of the house. There’s a second heated swimming pool to the side, best reached through the open-plan living and dining room. Take a dip beneath a starlit sky or sunbathe during the day. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and windows can be found from the kitchen to the three bedrooms, effortlessly bridging the indoors and outside. The best views can be found from the balcony on the first floor. Since this area has been granted UNESCO World Heritage status, you’ll find that there’s plenty of exploring and hiking to do. But there’s also fun to be had at home on a rainy afternoon – challenge the group to a championship of billiards and table football and may the best team win.

Dreaming of the Douro

Parking On Street

Drive up to this remarkable home and you’ll find yourself charmed from the outset. Its distinctively regional architecture – with its decorative red trim against white stucco walls – is a shining example of Portuguese eclectic design, and its unique aura continues both inside and outside its walls. Feel at home immediately with its cosy living room and its four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom – and relax into easy living outside, with its patios, spacious garden and the stunning swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas.

If you love to make an entrance, you'll be smitten with this home perched upon the banks of the River Douro. You are, of course, more than welcome to arrive by car, but there's also the option to travel by boat from Pinhão or a local farm and alight at the private pier.

Whatever means you use to show up, you're sure to be instantly wowed by this remarkable address, one of two neighbouring homes that date back to 1876. While the exterior is traditional in appearance, the interior has been thoroughly modernised – and the home even comes with its own chef. 

When it comes to days out, you'll have an on-site villa concierge to help arrange excursions and ensure you make the most of the UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounding this home. The valley is famous for port production, so visiting a winery for a tasting is a must – but there are also boat trips and hiking routes to keep you entertained.

This villa in Moldes, Arouca is the ideal spot for a proper getaway with family and friends. You'll have privacy and seclusion here, with stunning mountain views from the private pool and outdoor seating area. The home can only be reached by car, so you'll want to hire one for your trip, but it's well worth it. You'll be exploring the area in no time, including the spectacular hiking trails of Arouca Geopark and the town's local restaurants. Indoors, every bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, and while the kitchen is on the smaller side, you'll have everything you need for whipping up delicious dinners.

The Green Tide

Shared Pool

Whether you're visiting the Douro region to sample its produce, soak up some sun, journey into Porto or head away with the family, this Peso da Régua apartment is a real find. On the ground floor you'll find a characterful living room, dining area and kitchen, while upstairs features two bedrooms and two bathrooms with standalone showers to ease any morning traffic. This home also grants you access to a glimmering communal pool, proximity to several inspiring hiking routes, and unique views of the remarkable mountains and river running through them. You'll be around an hour and twenty minutes from the vibrant city of Porto, although a car is strongly recommended for getting around.

The Grapes of Joy

Welcome Hamper

This modern villa offers you comfort and style during your getaway to Portugal. Crisp white walls, accompanied by cream and beige decor create a cosy yet contemporary feel. The living space is lit up by the large floor-to-ceiling windows, with a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape – the perfect backdrop when putting your feet up to read a brand new book. The windows double up as balcony doors where you can enjoy the refreshing breeze as you sip on an energising cup of coffee or a sumptuous glass of wine. 

The open plan space allows you to cook up a storm in the kitchen, with the delicious aroma wafting through the home – what could be better than a scenic view when cooking for your loved ones? Light bites can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar, or enjoy a tasty plate of food together at the dining table. Take a refreshing dip in the pool no matter the time of day – we recommend spending evenings out here, with the gorgeous amber glow of the sunset shining upon the terrace.

River Hills

This bright and modern two-bedroom apartment offers a stylish base in the quaint town of Peso da Régua – perfect for soaking up the charm of the Douro Valley, with its wineries and rolling hills. With two spacious bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living area, it comfortably sleeps up to six guests - meanwhile, the open-plan layout is full of natural light, and the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to settle in. After a day exploring local wineries or cruising the river, head back for a swim in the shared pool or relax in the outdoor lounge area. Thoughtfully designed and ideally located, this is a great spot to experience the beauty and rhythm of the Douro.

Golden Douro

Surrounded by pretty vineyards, sprawling olive groves, and idyllic green peaks, this charming villa is wonderfully positioned in the heart of the wine-producing Douro Valley region. Make the most of the area and hike the world-famous Douro Valley, admiring the sweeping picturesque views, or indulge in some wine tasting at the nearby winery – pick out your favourite and enjoy it all holiday long. 

When you return to the villa, cool off in your private swimming pool, or simply relax in one of the outdoor seating areas. From garden tables and chairs, and sun loungers, to an outside dining area with a summer kitchen, this home provides the very best in outdoor living. The authentic Portuguese furnishings and natural tones inside blend with the rural backdrop of the surrounding terrains, and there's an easy, homey feel to the place. We particularly love the numerous patio doors, giving every room access to the outside space and flooding them with natural light.

The Vine Lady

Hot Tub

Jacuzzi

Courtyard

Access to Beach

Nestled in the picturesque vineyards and olive groves of the Douro Valley, with stunning views over the landscape, this gorgeous villa waits to welcome you. An open-plan layout makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids while you play a game of snooker or cook up a mouth-watering meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine alfresco on the covered terrace and let them tire themselves out in the pool during the afternoon. In the meantime, work on that perfect tan from the sun loungers, drink in hand as you look out over the impressive valley. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, so you can admire clear blue skies or a peachy sunset while getting some remote work done at the dining table or enjoying a game of chess in the recreation room.

The charming town of Pinhão is just a scenic walk or a short drive away, known for its delectable wines and rich port heritage. Relish in tours of local wineries and restaurants, before heading down the Douro River on a boat tour, or packing up the car and driving a little further for a day at the beach. When you return home, sink into the bubbles of the Jacuzzi under the stars.

Bridge Over Tranquil Water

With commanding views of the rural Douro and an infinity pool, this expansive villa is a dream holiday destination. Inside, multiple balconies and windows mean those stunning views are always in sight. 

The home has five bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, a dedicated kid’s pool and gardens – it's the ideal base for families travelling together. The interior is bright and offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy communal meals and movie nights.  

Days begin with pasteis de nata on the terrace – the hosts drop off fresh baked goods for breakfast every morning – followed by lazy hours by the pool with a book in hand. If you can prise yourself away from your lounger, the surrounding area is fine hiking territory. 

Sunsets here are show-stoppers, so make sure you’re back in time for a cold glass on the terrace as the sky turns every shade of orange and red. Round off with a night-time dip in the pool under a sky full of stars to make the most of every minute in this Portuguese oasis.

Pilot Star

Discover the magic of the Douro Valley from this secluded holiday home.

The owners have also transformed one of the old farm buildings into a gym. With fitness machines sitting alongside old stone troughs (where grapes were once pressed), this might be one of the most unique workout locations we’ve ever seen. 

Days can be spent hiking and cycling across this beautiful countryside – the village of Mesao Frio is just a short drive away, while the beautiful city of Porto is less than an hour away. 

River of Sun

You'll have your pick of outdoor spaces and a private swimming pool to make the most of this villa's Douro Valley views. Fitting, as this spot in Peso da Regua is famous for its picturesque countryside and ancient vineyards. While the interiors certainly aren't as eye-catching as the surrounding scenery, each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and larger groups have the option to add five extra beds to sleep up to fifteen guests. As an added bonus, breakfast deliveries of fresh bread and pastries are included – what a great way to start your day.

It's hard not to pinch yourself as you gaze down from The Scarlet Letter, at the charming vineyards and olive groves on the hill slopes of Douro Valley. There are several nooks to hang out by the pool and we especially love the quirky classroom setting in the gaming room that nudges towards the home's past as a school for kids. Secluded and pristine, a short drive takes you to the town of Pinhão, renowned for its vineyards and high quality Port, while a relaxing boat ride down the river gives you glimpses of the native wildlife. Still further away, the town of Provesende is a peek into the historical architecture and life of this picturesque region. When you're done with the day, recharge by the fireplace with a port and a plateful lovingly cooked by your own personal chef right at home.

The Scarlet Letter

Moments from the edge of the Douro River, this home is perfectly placed for a relaxing break. It’s centrally located so you can stroll to restaurants, cafes and shops. Plus, your host can help organise personalised tours and experiences to ensure you get the most out of your stay. It’s worth noting there are three independent apartments here – making it a great option for groups and families looking to stretch out and spend quality time together. There's also a shared swimming pool for refreshing dips and a terrace for evening drinks.

The house itself is, too, filled with admirable charm and many admirable features. Having been restored to maintain its traditional character, its old stone walls and the original wine-crushing wells bring personality, while modern home comforts invite guests to relax and unwind with nothing but ease. And since each bedroom suite is positioned to face views of the river, waking up here will feel like something out of a fairytale for every member of the group. 

Whether you're taking in the breathtaking views up and down the river from your private suite or out on the decked terrace – it's likely the serenity found here will put you in a meditative state of utter bliss.

Sitting in the middle of vineyards in the celebrated Portuguese wine region of Dão, this stone manor house is just the place for a peaceful getaway. The surrounding farm has been in action since Roman times, as evidenced by the ancient trough – or lagar – in which grapes were trodden that can still be seen on the site. 

By contrast, the home is a more recent addition and its interior has received a substantial amount of care and attention in recent years. As you take your first tour around the rooms, you're greeted by strikingly contemporary furnishings and finishes everywhere you look, whether it's the sleek fireplace, bright white kitchen or minimalist dinner table next to a textile artwork. 

There's a strong experiential element to this address, too. The host can help arrange a welcome basket, wine tastings and brunches full of local produce, or yoga sessions and bicycle rental in case you feel the need to work up an appetite beforehand. In the surrounding area, there are lots of quaint villages and stretches of countryside to explore on foot, too.

This striking home looks like it's been taken straight from the pages of Architectural Digest. With its clean lines and sharp angles, it presents a space that will be loved by design buffs and those fond of a sleek and modern space that invites a free flow of light to radiate in abundance. 

From the mid-century furniture pieces to the south-facing glass wall and stunning home library – every last detail of the house has been carefully curated with meticulous attention to detail. 

The serene setting of the home will have you feeling relaxed from the moment you walk through the door. So curl up with a coffee and your chosen book, and sit with your feet up for a spot of relaxation. On warmer days, you'll find heaven in the nature-filled garden, which boasts a private swimming pool and plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the sun. 

Come evening, serve up a delectable home-cooked Portuguese inspired meal at the stylish dining area before winding down with a glass of wine in front of the home cinema projector. 

The nearest city is Braga; just a twenty-five minute drive away, where you'll find shops, bars and restaurants alike. And if you don't mind venturing a little further, the unmissable city of Porto is reachable in fifty-five minutes by car. 


Modern Talking

Sauna

With a warm and welcoming interior filled with traditional design features and a range of helpful amenities, not to mention a truly stunning pool area that is simply perfect for long summer days spent basking in the almost guaranteed Portuguese sunshine, we think this delightful holiday home provides a great base for experiencing a slightly different side of Portugal. 

Situated in the picturesque Lima Valley, this location offers up an alternative to the classic beach break. Instead allowing you to soak up some typically Portuguese culture, cuisine, and even some Roman ruins in the history-laden villages that dot the valley. Hike or bike through unspoiled verdant landscapes, perhaps stopping at an authentic eatery for a taste of the local cuisine (we especially love the selections of local cheeses and meats on offer, as well as the hearty regional Caldo Verde). Then, it's back to the calm and comfort of your home away from home. 

Evenings can be spent sweating away the stress in your private sauna, replicating Portuguese favourites in the traditional covered outdoor churrasco, or simply absorbing every aspect of that phenomenal panoramic vista with a glass of Vinho Verde in hand. Be it an evening dip, a quick game or two of ping pong, or cosying up in the at-home cinema with a classic – this home provides plenty of scope for relaxation and action, socialising, or some much-needed me time.

Sitting close to the point at which Trás-os-Montes crosses over to the famed Alto-Douro wine region, this nine-hectare oak forest was abandoned in the middle of the 20th century and mother nature allowed to run her course. That is until 2010 when the farmhouse hidden away on the site was almost completely reconstructed into this incredible holiday home.

There are a few stone walls and wooden beams that hark back to this history, but otherwise, it's a strikingly modern affair, with a stylish collection of artwork, decorative items and furnishings waiting to be discovered throughout the space. There are so many aspects you're sure to be enamoured by as you take a tour, from the minimalist kitchen to the freestanding tub in the master bathroom.

That's not to forget the fabulous amenities here, either. If you're after a dose of relaxation, you're in luck – not only is there an indoor swimming pool, there's a sauna and Jacuzzi to retire to afterwards. There's also a fair bit of outside space for making the most of sunny weather, including a terrace with seating.

Plus, there's a whole range of distractions that lie nearby, too. Parque Natural do Alvão is a short drive away if you're ever in the mood for long rambles through scenic Portuguese countryside, while there are a number of towns close by – Vila Real and Régua among them – in which you can get acquainted with the region's rich gastronomic traditions.
