About Our Home
Welcome to our beautiful, 250-year-old stone house nestled in the heart of the stunning Douro Valley. Lovingly renovated to preserve its historic charm while introducing modern comforts, our home invites you to step into a harmonious blend of history and serenity. This house has been cherished by our family for generations, and we are thrilled to share it with you.
The Space
Our house spans two floors:
- Ground Floor: The entrance leads to the bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a combined dining area that exudes warmth and character. A staircase takes you to the upper level.
- Upper Floor: Here you’ll find a cozy living room and a serene bedroom with a comfortable double (casal) bed (160 x 200 cm).
For your comfort, the house is equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a cozy ambiance during winter and a pleasantly cool retreat in summer, thanks to the thick stone walls.
An external staircase also provides access to the upper floor, offering added convenience.
Outdoor Space
Enjoy the large outdoor area, perfect for relaxing during warm summer days or savoring the cool evenings under the starry Douro skies. It’s an ideal spot for reading, dining, or simply unwinding in nature’s embrace. Additionally, there is ample parking space for your convenience.
The Setting
Situated along a charming old street in the Douro Valley, the house is part of a small cluster of stone homes that radiate character and history. The surrounding area offers a unique and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for immersing yourself in the region's beauty. While one of the neighboring stone houses remains an ongoing project, it is currently dormant, guaranteeing a quiet and peaceful stay without any construction noise or activity.
Important to Note
The house is located in a small, tranquil village, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and quiet. However, having your own car is highly recommended, as the nearest supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes require a short drive (~ 6min).

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
