Monthly Rentals in Vale de Mendiz

Gorgeous home that looks even better than the photos! Great views, very private, very clean, and everything you could need for a short or long stay. Highly recommend as it was our favourite stay and best value among five different AirBNB’s in Portugal. Elisabete was very responsive and friendly as well. Thanks Elisabete!

We stayed at Jet and Ronald's place for 4 nights. A glass of wine from Ronald as a welcome greeting in the beautiful courtyard was a lovely start. The apartment is practical and very tastefully decorated, the bed very comfortable. One evening we participated in a delicious meal with wine tasting together with other guests, which was also very nice. Otherwise, we took care of ourselves. In good weather we were able to have breakfast in the courtyard with views over the beautiful valley. We felt very comfortable. There are hiking opportunities directly on site. For excursions to the area you have to plan the many serpentines, we took longer for all paths than Google Maps predicted. The Tua Valley was beautiful.

Beautiful little, well appointed space with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very well located for visiting the Haut-Douro Valley. The proximity to Sabrosa is also appreciated with a few small shops and restaurants; do not hesitate if you want to stay in the area!

What an incredible stay we had! Francisco and family were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. As others have said, he even brought us fresh bread in the morning, which we combined with local cheese, jam, and a nice Nespresso coffee. All very good but really it was the breakfast setting that made it amazing. Essentially you’re sitting out on a terrace in the sky overlooking the vineyards and the Vale de Mendiz. Stunning! Everywhere you go is a picture taking. The colours in the valley view are constantly changing with the light. Francisco also made recommendations which were very enjoyable outings, e.g. beautiful Casa de Mateus (we had lunch at Bistro Palcio just outside the main gate, try it), winery Quinta de São Luiz (Francisco’s son João recommendation), Pinhão for Douro river boat tour (the drive there along the valley is incredible). Must not forget the family’s happy-go-lucky long haired dachshund Pappy. What a cutie! Merci beaucoup Francisco! Gary & Suzie
