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.

About Portugal
Once boasting history's largest empire, Portugal now happily tends to its own small but beautiful patch, inviting visitors to uncover its treasure trove of natural wonders. From its 800 km coastline along the Atlantic to its golden beaches, clifftop castles, verdant valleys, mist-covered woodlands and beautifully preserved medieval towns, there’s far more to Portugal than just its balmy weather and seafood.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
