Natureza

Fantástico espaço, sossego, natureza....tudo o que se pode desejar numas férias longe das "nossas" rotinas. Não devem ter dúvida em escolher o espaço....mais ainda quando tivemos a autorização para provar as deliciosas uvas.... Apenas tivemos menos sorte no tempo, não aproveitamos a piscinas, mas ninguém controla o tempo.... Voltaremos sem duvida

A hidden gem

This historic house is absolutely incredible. It has been beautifully renovated and is so cozy. The amenities were perfect and we used everything offered (fireplace, barbecue, and even the assador de barro!). We visited in winter and it was very comfortable with so much to do in the area.

...como em casa!

Maravilhoso para descansar no stress da cidade, e relaxar numa a piscina de água bem quentinha. Muito calor, típico da região, mas a casa está equipada com tudo o que é necessário para passar uns dias fantásticos em família.

Trapped inside by heat:-(

I have rarely seen a rental so well equipped as this house. Sofia had every detail covered, except being there herself to meet us and explain a few things. Her mother did her best, but spoke no English at all, and we didn't have a lot of luck muddling through with Google Translate. For instance, we never did find the village store, even though we searched several times and it is only a tiny village with one main street! We only wanted to buy a very few things, and didn't want to make the scary drive back out to find the grocery store in the next town. The house was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, with every amenity one could hope, plus many elegant luxurious touches, especially in the bathroom. And once Sofia's mother delivered some local veg to go with a lovely bottle of Mazouco wine that was provided, we were able to muddle through without having to leave to shop. The only thing I was disappointed with in the listing was a suggestion (perhaps I misunderstood) that there was a view. The house had a walled in property, and really no view at all. That said, we only had to walk a short way at night to see the most spectacular view of the Milky Way that I have seen since I was a child. What a sky!! The biggest problem was not the fault of the host. The whole country was in a horrible heatwave and drought, and we were stuck inside all day, only venturing out in the evening (to try to find the store!) after the sun went down. Sadly, this is not a pretty village, largely derelict and mostly devoid of colour or vegetation, presumably because of the climate. And the area around is best described as mountain desert. Completely barren. And there is really nothing to do when the weather is roasting. We went out periodically to cool in the pool, but mostly had to keep the house closed up tight, and had to cancel hikes and other plans. We ended up leaving a day early, in desperate pursuit of cool ocean breezes and greenery. Again, this is not Sofia's fault. We should have done our homework better and understood what we were getting into. Being from Canada the drive did not appear so far, but it really is pretty darn remote. I see why most tourists stick to the coast:-(

Best New Year so far!

We have rented the appartment for the New year Eve and two further days and it was the right choice. The village is absolutely amazing, situated in picturesque valley, with olive and orange trees at the slopes. It is very quiet, free of shops and people crowds area. The house itself is on two levels- first with two bedrooms and the bathroom and the upper one - dining room with the fireplace, table, sofa, kitchenette,the other bathroom and the small courtyard with barbeque oven. As it is built from the stone- the winter period could be chilly for few hours untill the fire and the air heater will make the house warmer. The house equipped by everything you need, but you should care of your food provision ahead, as there are no shops or cafes or any other meal providing places. We had all in advance and spent the perfect holiday. So the only problem we could mention- sometimes the hot water does not work properly, may be because it is possible to switch on simultaneously just one shower, not other water sourses, may be because of winter period, but it does not ruin the cozy , like at home atmosphere that lives at the house.

Rustikales Ferienhaus in absolut ruhiger Umgebung

Rustikales Ferienhaus über zwei Etagen mit Terrasse und kleinem Garten mit Olivenbäumen. Man merkt an der Einrichtung, daß die Eigentümer hier selbst auch Zeit verbringen. Es ist alles sehr geschmackvoll und völlstänig eingerichtet. Das einzige Manko ist, daß eines der beiden Schlafzimmer kein Fenster hat. Ein Auto ist unbedingt erforderlich, das Haus befindet sich in einem ganz kleinen Ort am Douro nahe der spanischen Grenze.

Muito boa

A casa é muito simpática, com uma decoração bonita e acolhedora, e tem tudo para uma estadia confortável (a casa estava um bocadinho fria à chegada mas passando o primeiro dia torna-se aprazível, apesar do aquecimento não ser central e nos corredores sentir-se um pouco frio). A localização é excelente para explorar a zona, que tem uma tranquilidade e beleza natural impressionantes. Muito recomendável para passar uns dias de descanso.

férias junto ao Douro Internacional

Passamos 1 semana em Mazouco, à beira do Douro Internacional e soube a pouco. A casa está muito bem decorada e é muito confortável e acolhedora, com um pequeno terraço muito agradável. A aldeia de Mazouco é uma pequena aldeia no coração do parque do Douro Internacional e de lá é muito fácil chegar a todo o lado. Os proprietários foram muito simpáticos e sempre prestáveis. A paisagem e os arredores são únicos e fenomenais.

Au coeur d'un village de la vallée du Douro

Située dans un petit village authentique et chaleureux, la maison est coquette et accueillante et la terrasse très agréable. Les conseils et l'hospitalité des voisins très sympathiques nous ont été précieux comme la disponibilité du propriétaire. Idéal pour un séjour famille avec des enfants aimant les animaux...cet isolement n'est pas synonyme d'un calme monacal et la vie du village commence très tôt le matin ...sieste à prévoir entre les visites, nombreuses dans cette région magnifique combinant patrimoine viticole et peintures rupestres avec les paysages grandioses de la vallée et l'hospitalité simple et bienveillante de ses habitants.

Super week end

Un week end parfait , avec un accueil chaleureux, une maison très bien décorée et très propre, bien équipée et très calme.Les chambres et la literie sont confortables, et les 2 salles de bains sont très bien décorées. La vue sur la vallée du Douro depuis le village est superbe.La maison et le petit village de Mazouco sont très calmes et on est vraiment au milieu des paysages typiques du Douro : vignes,oliviers,amandiers et orangers. Nous reviendrons certainement pour une période plus longue, et pour pouvoir profiter de la terrasse et du barbecue !

Why they chose this property

The house is located in the Douro region, in northern Portugal, which is one of the most famous wine regions of the country, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the birthplace of Port wine, and the first demarcated wine region in the world.
you will be able to see the typical landscapes of Douro area: Douro river, wine resorts(Quintas), plantations of olive trees, orange trees, almond trees (best time to see these trees in flowers is February /March)

And you will discover the real flavour of an orange when you will eat one direct from the tree .You can find mature oranges more or less all year long.The smell of flowers of orange trees is also wonderful.
