Location

PINHÃO, DOURO VALLEY

"A beautifully converted village schoolhouse offering luxurious holiday accommodation, a heated pool and outstanding views in the heart of the Douro Valley."

Converted to a very high standard, Douro Villa II is a well-equipped family villa for 8 guests (+3 on request) spread over 2 levels. Breakfast is included daily and cook service is available on request. Modern day conveniences such as local mobile and a tablet are also supplied for guests to use as a reference guide to explore the region.

Indoors, the villa features collected pieces of a time gone by, when it was an old village schoolhouse. The villa has 4 en-suite bedrooms, disabled facilities and a games room. The lawn garden and pool, which can be heated, enjoy views over Douro Valley vineyards and olive groves.  

Right next-door is striking Douro Villa I for 6 + 2 guests – both properties can be rented for two parties wanting to travel together (benefitting from a special discount), yet retain some degree of independence.

The Douro is a wonderful location to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – these villas are located on the edge of a very peaceful rural hamlet, where the most exciting moment of the day is the arrival of the bread delivery van in the morning!

Included in one week rentals (or longer) at modern Douro Villa II, are added value extras such as a complimentary meal by a private chef or a 3-hour river boat tour with picnic on board, plus another “local gastronomy” meal and a visit to one of the Port producing Quintas with wine tasting. The excellent and friendly staff speak Portuguese, French and English and as well as looking after your daily needs, double up as local tour guides or babysit on request.

"Back in foggy Yorkshire and wanted to tell you that we had a great time. The housekeeper at DOURO VILLA II was a great host and the house was amazing. We used the heated pool everyday even in the downpours! We will be in touch again next year, as you have been most helpful with everything."
