Also in the valley is a railway tunnel from which a train will occasionally be seen as it approaches the river Douro for its journey upstream along its banks - one of the great train rides in the world and the opportunity should be taken to enjoy the journey

The well maintained swimming pool is set in the lawned gardens where you can enjoy pool side drinks or lunch brought to you by the servants.

The house is a perfect setting for those liking luxury and peace and quiet. All this in the beautiful countryside of northern Portugal.
There are four guest bedrooms in the house each with french windows leading onto the garden. There is also a bar, a sitting room and a dining room.

A crafts room shows a selection of local handicrafts complete with the tools used in their manufacture. In addition there are memories from the days when all houses used to manufacture their own wines. Nowadays most of the grapes go to the various co-operatives and the growers get paid in wine.
The staff will prepare evening meals on request and are available all day to prepare snacks and serve drinks.

As an alternative to to enjoying the garden, there are interesting walks in the beautiful local area or your host can arrange hunting trips in the mountains or fishing on the river Douro.

Beside the train journey, the nearby river Douro has vessels on which to spend a pleasant day and possibly a lunch followed by a port wine.

This house, as in most of the Manor Houses of Portugal, has as its most important asset the traditional Portuguese hospitality of your host and his family.

Although the local roads wind their way along river valleys or mountain ridges and passes, most of the journey to Porto is along a new motorway with easy access to the airport.
