Very spacious and great authentic house, beautiful garden with big swimming pool and flowers. Close to amazing hikes with stupendous views. Lots to do and admire, we love the Douro valley : took the train along the river, the boat etc. The weather was unfortunately quite cool and we did not take advantage of the pool ,

Hemos tenido unas vacaciones fantásticas gracias a Joao, que ha sido realmente atento con nosotros, y a su preciosa casa. Mi familia y yo disfrutamos mucho de la piscina,. Sin duda, volveremos!!

We were a group of 7 Portuguese - the house is very traditional, great leisure space for large groups and warm welcoming from João Pedro. Definitely recommend

We spent two restful weeks at Casa Castedo do Douro. Joào was great in providing all required information; prior to booking, directions to the property, information on the local area and restaurant recommendations such as Restaurante Pizzeria Margherita and Cepa Torta in Alijo. Restaurante Veladouro in Pinhaò was also very good but gets busy. We spent a lot of our time relaxing at the house, making use of the cool basement and refreshing pool but also visited the local areas and further afield to Oporto by train from Tua nearby and took the children to Natur Water Park, Vila Real followed by a visit on our return to Castedo to Quinta do Portal. Joào kindly provided us with eggs, butter, milk and fruit juice for our stay and had arranged the daily delivery of fresh bread to the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this rural retreat. Thank you Joào for letting us stay in your lovely house and for sharing some of your port.
