Armamar : locations de vacances avec petit déjeuner

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

Our stay at Lugar das Letras was nothing short of magical. This beautifully restored house, once an old school, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards—a true feast for the eyes. The rooms and bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, thoughtfully designed to make us feel at home. But what made our experience truly unforgettable were Carla and Paula, the two wonderful ladies who took care of every detail. Every morning, they prepared a memorable breakfast for our entire family, filled with warmth and care. Their kindness and hospitality turned our stay into a dream. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise in the Douro Valley. Highly recommended!

Nuno’s place exceeded our expectations. It has a beautiful balcony with a view over the Douro river. The pool area is peaceful and breakfast provided was an added bonus. Nuno was very helpful and provided us with great recommendations for wine tasting and spots to visit. The apartment is spacious, clean and has a small kitchen which we were able to use to cook in the evenings.

Miguel and Susana were caring, attentive, accommodating and some of the bests hosts I have ever experienced. The added extra of such a delicious breafast every day was such an added extra and when one of our party became ill on the last day, Susana even stayed late to help them get medical attention. The house was beautiful, with some of the traditional fixtures and fittings, but has been renovated to such a high standard. We will definitely be back 😊

Todo ha sido perfecto. El anfitrión muy amable y atento. Nos hemos sentido muy agusto y la casa es como se describe y acogedora. Estuvimos muy contentos. Volveríamos sin duda.

otimo sítio para descansar, superou as minhas espectativas as casinhas em pedra e a decoracao extrior muito bem decorada e com bom gosto,e dona Zilda uma exelente pessoa,obrigado e ate uma proxima,

Adorei ficar em Vila Coura, ficaria outra vez definitivamente. A Célia foi encantadora, muito prestável. Deu-nos facilidade para fazer o check-in à hora que nos conviesse, explicou-nos tudo direitinho sobre o espaço, os pequenos-almoços, etc, mostrou-se super disponível para atender a qualquer um dos nossos pedidos a qualquer hora. O quarto era muito confortável, limpo e bonito. Tínhamos lenha para acender a lareira e tivemos um ambiente super agradável. A água é bem quente também e a cama super confortável. Recomendo vivamente!

César demonstrou uma enorme simpatia e atenção à nossa estadia e experiência. Deu várias referências de visita e disponibilizou-se sempre para ajudar. O espaço é extremamente acolhedor e todos os elementos foram escolhidos com atenção. O grande forte sem dúvida foi a lareira. Incrível. Obrigado César 😊

Maria, nos recebeu muito bem. Tomou cuidados como o vinho do Porto, geladeira e armário repletos de comidas. Nos deu explicações e dicas da cidade. Adoramos sua recepção!

Je krijgt meer dan je ziet. Zeer rustig en in prachtige omgeving. De host is bescheiden en netjes. Uitmuntend. Minstens 6 sterren.

L'appartement est parfait mais l'emplacement est surtout incroyable. Les propriétaires sont très gentil et nous on donné plusieurs activités à faire lors de notre séjour. Je recommande fortement.

Adoramos provavelmente iremos repetir, casa muito acolhedora com uma zona de SPA incrivel para passar uns dias frios! 5 estrelas de 5 sem duvida que as merece.

The stay was great. Breakfast included was a lovely addition. The room was cleaned daily and refreshed. We were very comfortable in our stay.

Die Wohnung ist genau so wie beschrieben. Wir hatten die Wohnung im 3.Stock und der Ausblick am frühen Morgen auf Porto ist unbezahlbar. Viele Restaurants in der Umgebung. Wir wurden bei unserer Ankunft herzlich empfangen.

Clean, roomy and comfortable apartment. Great patio. Very good communication. Paula was at the apartment on our arrival to introduce the apartment. A nice port and cookies were provided gratis, which was appreciated. Breakfast provided every morning was tasty and convenient. Highly recommend.

Heaven on earth! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home. We will never forget it. Or you. Or the dogs!!! Happy Christmas!!

De passage pour un mariage au Portugal, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Hôte très accueillant, propreté irréprochable, hôte très serviable. Nous avons passés un très bon séjour.

Amazing and perfect getaway from the city to the peaceful countryside. This house was all what we wanted! Juan was very communicative and Graça who met us there made us feel immediately at home. Her breakfasts were amazing and beautiful organised. Definitely recommend. We will come back in the summer as well.

Quinta da Xandica, located just outside of Valença do Douro village, was a fantastic, and unique experience. It’s rare these days to find an Airbnb hosted by a “real” (boots on the ground) host who is not only there to share local knowledge and accommodates your needs, but literally who also welcomes you in to the ACTUAL family home. It reminded me of a traditional bed and breakfast, in all of the best ways. (Including a lovely breakfast in a dining room!!!) The Quinta was home to Matilde”s great grandfather, and is shared today with her grandmother and father (three generations). It’s a working farm, and an all around charming, beautiful place. Even during our unseasonably rainy visit, the grounds and area was stunning. Practically speaking, the bed was comfortable & the water hot. Dinner made by Matilde was a reasonably priced and delicious with estate wine. We also thoroughly interaction with other guests, the chipped dog, “Bill”, and access to the surrounding area. A treasure!

Foi um fim-de-semana excelente, adorei a hospedagem, tudo muito limpo e organizado! Obrigada Marta!!

Cidalia’s place was outstanding. Beautiful room, and amazing views. Gorgeous pool right above Douro. Dary Cidalia’s son was super helpful with every small request. He is a chef, and the breakfast he served was not only delicious with a huge variety, but also beautifully served. I we will recommend this place to all our friends, and certainly would love to come again. Thank you!!! Tirza Haviv and Yosef Khen

Hôte très accueillante qui s’est adapté à notre langue (français) et nous l’en remercions. Logement très agréable et décoré avec soin (décorations typiques et personnelles). Le coin petit déjeuner très sympa et intimiste est un plus 🙂

Loved everything about this place. Inês was a wonderful host, she was friendly and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The property is a beautiful oasis, perfect for a countryside retreat. I couldn’t recommend this place more (If I could give 6 stars, I would!)

There are very few places that can live up to the moniker of a truly special location. It take a rare blend of a thoughtful beautiful space, impeccable service, and genuine/ super friendly hosts. My only regret about writing this review is that I am sure once people discover this gem I will find it very difficult to find an available opening again as it is sure to be in high demand. Enrico and his entire family are the perfect hosts, the included simple breakfast of fresh bread, yogurt, fruit and assorted cheese is such a nice treat to wake up to every morning and partake in their amazing Dining Room. I can't recommend highly enough trying their tasting dinner in the evening, as Enrico apparently is a 1 start rated Michelin Chef and the food is amazing. Even if you don't book a room to stay in you should go to the restaurant one evening if you are in Porto. My room was spotless, very comfortable and beautifully laid out. Super Comfortable Bed as well. This place is special.
