"After sampling a home cooked meal at the Quinta, is it possible to have dinner at the property again tomorrow? We didn't plan it but we don't want to leave here - these women are the best cooks!!"                   

"The villa is ideal, has everything you need, and is well located in the Douro Valley. We had a great stay, and Carla (housekeeper) was brilliant at looking after us. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone! Thank you."

"We had a wonderful stay; beautiful house!"

“Thank you so much Nilza, Maria and Rui. Nilza is an amazing chef - our meals were delicious, beautiful and healthy. And to use local ingredients and fruit from the property was so special.  The property is beautiful and comfortable and so peaceful. We are so grateful to the three of you for an unforgettable experience!”

 "We loved our stay and it was a great success! The pool was used a lot and was quite warm enough. The gym and tennis court were also enjoyed and some played golf at nearby courses while others surfed on the west coast. We had a brilliant meal cooked by a chef. Really appreciated the lovely house with its fantastic views and it proved to be the ideal placed for a family gathering."&...

"Everything was perfect, again! It was the second time we booked this property and we stayed in the main house (Liberal Wing) which was even nicer. We really liked the decor and breakfast was even better, but we already though it was perfect 3 years ago!"   

"It was a great holiday and thank you for all your help. The location of the house was perfect, the garden beautiful and the owner was charming and helpful."

“We’ve arrived! Oh wow!!!! The townhouse is perfection!”

 "We had an absolutely amazing time (Lavandula I & II booked together for a large family); thank you! We love Portugal and want to repeat the experience in another location next year; what do you suggest?"                   

"Another fantastic stay in this lovely tranquil house (2nd time)! Monica's cooking and housekeeping are absolutely outstanding and all staff involved in maintaining the grounds are much appreciated. I am sure we will return again..."   

 "We had a lovely time and will certainly be looking again for next summer."                   

"Please pass my thanks on to the owner for our stay: quality fixtures and fittings, ample kitchen equipment, responsive people, design conscious etc. Really loved the house and the area."   

"Highly recommend DOURO VILLA II for a quiet time - great house - fun interior, all bedrooms of a generous size, clean and fresh feel, fabulous views, fun pool room and pool, excellent breakfast and super last evening meal provided by the charming Carla. Thoroughly enjoyed by all."                   

"We had the most wonderful 2 weeks. The house has a great layout making it spacious and comfortable. The pool and lounge area on the roof are spectacular. Lounging poolside with the sound of waves in the distance was the best. Being able to walk to the beach in 10 minutes was also divine. Beach restaurants Sal & Sublime are very close. Overall a perfect stay. Thanks also to chef Sandra R...

"Over the May bank holiday weekend, we planned a trip to the Douro Valley and choose AB Villa Rentals for our accommodation. The villa was modern with panorama windows overlooking the wine terraces and had all the amenities we could have wished for. We really appreciated the personal service by AB Villa Rentals  - they took good care of us!"       

"QUINTA DA BOAVISTA has traditional Portuguese charm combined with modern comfort,  dominated by blue and white colours. The property is generously arranged and enjoys magnificent views of surrounding vineyards and the Douro river. The images provided on line were all met and not over stated. We spent a week at this gorgeous place to celebrate a 70th birthday and really appreciated ...

"Our stay at this villa was just amazing, we had a lovely time from the beginning to the end. Hopefully we will come back soon!"       

"My family stayed at the BEACH VILLA for a glorious Autumn reunion. The villa is spectacular, well stocked, architecturally interesting and fun. The roof top pool with big views is lovely. A short walk to miles of sandy beach is particularly nice and the entire Comporta region is beautiful. Highly recommend  the house."
