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.

Local guide
About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
