Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Alijó

We booked spontaneously and Fernando was very responsive, friendly and helpful despite being 200kms away. Very quiet place with great view.

House is as in the pictures. We loved the garden and pool, with beautiful views over the village and the grape fields. The reception was very welcoming and nice to experience how proud the owners are of their home, the surrounding area and their port. As far as we are concerned, absolutely right. We were offered fun tips to do, a tour of the house and garden and a welcome drink. There are corners and seats everywhere where you can look up the sun or escape. The kitchen is well equipped and actually everything is present (and also sufficient) The bedrooms are very comfortable, especially the two with bathroom. The village is very quiet, including 2 small supermarkets, pharmacy and some eateries. However, you have plenty of supermarkets and other shops at 25 minutes. It exceeded our expectations, the owners are very friendly and helpful, communicate quickly and made us feel very welcome.

Rosa and Antonio were spectacular, friendly, hospitable and good energy! The property is amazing, wonderful views, calm, comfortable and offers everything you need.

We had a pleasant stay. We were very well hosted, the accommodation is super well located, with a bar right next door. A lively village. We'll be back in a heartbeat. Thank you again for hosting us.

Great little quiet spot …great swimming pool

Beautiful Museum like home in a small town in the midst of vineyards. The views at sunrise and sunset are fantastic and the vineyards go on forever. Ms. Fatima was great and made a delicious breakfast for us every morning. The little cafe down the street was amazing and the owner is very friendly and made us a delicious dinner the night of our arrival.

Very nice view, very friendly owners and good wine!

You'll get more than you see. Very quiet and in beautiful area. The host is humble and tidy. Excellent. At least 6 stars.

Quite a hike up the hill if you don’t have a car, just bear that in mind. Also if you’re going into town to eat, the same applies. However the upside of course is that the views are outstanding. Quiet and tranquil, we were extremely happy with our stay. Great hiking on the doorstep, lots of wine tasting if that’s your thing. One very nice touch was the traditional custard tarts and lovely bread/rolls left outside our door each morning by our host. Very nice touch indeed

The super nice complex is an oasis in the somewhat bustling environment of the city of Vila Real. Ins and their people are very friendly and extremely nice without being intrusive. Every morning fresh bread is brought to the house, great service, also the daily cleaning of the bungalow is very pleasant. The garden areas are very well maintained, the pool is cleaned daily, the water is super clear and refreshing. Our bungalow was more spacious than it looked like in the pictures and wonderfully cool due to the thick granite walls even at 33 degrees outside temperature. The excursion tips are lovingly drawn and well thought through. All in all, four of us had a wonderful week at Ines. Thank you!

It was a very pleasant stay! It was all super clean, something we highly valued! Having where to park the car next to the house, with its own plaza seemed phenomenal to us!

The apartment was wonderful. Larger than expected and extremely clean. Beautiful view and good location to explore Douro Valley.

Fantastic apartment right in the heart of charming Vila Real. The place had everything we needed and was an important factor in our enjoyment of the city and our vacation. Highly recommended.

Vitors hospitality was amazing. Very responsive and helpful host. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed and the views were breathtaking. We appreciated the tour of the winery and the wonderful spread of tapas when we arrived! Would highly recommend Vitor and his wife to anyone looking to visit the Douro Valley ☺️

This place is amazing! The property feels extremely private. There were 4 of us and we felt the house could easily have slept another 4. Everything was spotless. The hosts are extremely friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend going to their restaurant in town, everything was cooked perfectly. The pool was great and we loved using the barbecue. We would absolutely recommend staying here.

Everything is at its best, I'd recommend it without a second thought.

This property is simply WONDERFUL. It's perfect for disconnecting and relaxing, in a beautiful setting. The house has everything you might need, and the outside is unbeatable. Angela and Mario are charming, the best hosts you could wish for. I recommend this beautiful house 100% and we would like to go back

I don't think you could ever tire of the views from Quinta do Fraguil. They're breathtaking - we kept taking just one more photo! It's so special to be able to see so far into the distance and right down to the bottom of the valley. Even the local viewing point didn't match it! From start to finish, Rui was a friendly and really responsive host. He made us feel confident as soon as we had booked that we were going to be staying somewhere special. He turned up to meet us when we arrived and was in really good contact any time we needed to ask him anything before or during our stay. The pool is a total highlight - a good size and really clean. The house itself was also really clean and tastefully furnished. The outside eating area was perfect and made you feel happy to stay 'at home' and cook! We had sunshine every day and warm evenings sitting outside. This is the sort of place that you feel really sad to leave at the end of your holiday and one that you're very likely to visit again.

This property is beautifully appointed, with great amenities and a wonderfully peaceful location. It's a great stay close to the Douro Valley and surrounding nature. João was a very responsive and welcoming host, we had a couple of very minor issues on arrival and they were resolved within an hour, exceptional service and hospitality! If you are looking for an authentic getaway in Portugal this property is a fantastic choice.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Such a beautiful place with all the comfort.

The house was absolutely stunning — a true gem nestled in the breathtaking landscape by the river Tua! It was impeccably clean, spotless in every corner, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. Paula was incredibly responsive and attentive, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this amazing retreat!

Staying here was a true joy! The villa was located in beautiful surroundings, not far from a river and network of walking trails. The vineyard and olive trees were lovely to walk through. It was the perfect spot for a cozy getaway in Douro valley in autumn. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove in the evenings as well. Francisca was a lovely host, very responsive and kind. She provided us with several recommendations that made our stay so memorable. We would love to stay here again!
