Resende : locations de vacances

We had an incredible experience at Quinta Barqueiros. From the second we were welcomed into their home it felt like we were getting the VIP treatment. From the special welcome wine and elevator to take our bags up to our room through the tasting and tour of their family’s winemaking operation (which we highly recommend) everything felt thoughtful. We were able to take the train from Porto and the family helped arrange a taxi to pick us up, which meant we had no worries getting to the Quinta. The property itself is magnificent, with an idyllic pool looking over vineyards and the river, multiple spots to enjoy a glass of wine or breakfast under olive and orange trees, as well as cute and cozy living areas that tie everything together. The room was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner for ourselves after a long day wine tasting. The family also help set up a tour through the Douro Valley that was exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend!

Marvelous place: beautiful and comfortable house overlooking the Douro valley ... and the most beautiful pool we ever had (and we had many over the years). Garden full of orange and lemon trees with an outside kitchen and perfect babecue. Great host, great place. We hope to come back one day.

Een prachtig huis op een unieke lokatie met verschillende panorama’s over de meanderende Douro tussen de groene heuvels. Zo mooi gaat het niet meer worden. Casimiro is een enthousiaste host met veel kennis over de omgeving en de historie van Portugal. Zijn welkom was erg hartelijk en hij regelde als verrassing heerlijke tapas. De uitrusting van het huis is goed, in het bijzonder het grote en comfortabele bed.

Gorgeous cottage and location is amazing. Douro Valley is one of the most special places in the world. History, wine and Port wine. We brought food and did our own thing. Location is good 30 min + to special places.

O Sr. António foi bastante atencioso, deixou um miminho, o qual só temos a agradecer. A casa estava impecável, ótimo para descansar uma vez que fica num local bastante calmo.

Perfect jumping off point for Douro Valley. The house served our family of 5 well. We had a great experience with the property manager, Beatriz. She was very communicative and even helped us ship home a few items we left behind. Overall a great stay.

Nossa estadia foi maravilhosa! Desde o momento em que chegamos, fomos muito bem recebidos com muita simpatia e atenção por Carlos e Iria. Ao entrar na casa, senti um perfume delicioso, que dava a sensação de limpeza e cuidado com cada detalhe. A casa é bem equipada, perfeita para alguns dias de relaxamento. Um dos pontos altos da nossa estadia foi a vista do pôr do sol, que é simplesmente deslumbrante – algo que realmente torna este lugar especial. A cama é confortável e os lençóis estavam tão cheirosos que me lembraram a minha própria casa, o que tornou nossas noites de sono ainda mais agradáveis. O banheiro é bom e funcional, e a cozinha tinha o suficiente para preparar refeições rápidas durante a nossa estadia. A piscina também é linda, com uma vista incrível que complementa perfeitamente o ambiente de tranquilidade. Tivemos dias excelentes aqui, relaxando e aproveitando cada momento. Carlos e Iria são realmente muito agradáveis, educados e simpáticos. Nos deram ótimas recomendações

Antonio was extremely responsive and generous with his time- picking me up at the station and dropping me off, and giving me a lift to the supermarket and to the river beach as I do not have a car and have reduced mobility. For others with mobility issues, I would say that it is quite steep there (which they warned me about) however I did find a couple of nice walks that were doable for me. The nature is exceptionally beautiful: mists rolling over the river, birds of prey gliding overhead, birdsong, the scent of orange blossom… I also enjoyed making a fire in the wood burner in the evening. This is a convenient place to come from Porto as it is just a few minutes’ drive from the train station which is on a scenic route 1.5 hours from the city. Thanks so much for having me!

wonderful house and host. Elizabeth was super responsive from the first day till check out. the house is beautiful and exactly as advertised.
