Perfect Stay

We had an amazing time here with a group of 8 friends. Alexandra is a fantastic host - she set up a boat cruise, a private chef and wine tastings for us as well as arranged for us to have a driver. The property is wonderful - better than the pictures even. It was very clean and every bedroom had it's own private bathroom. We will definately be back.

Niece's 40th birthday

We celebrated my niece's 40th birthday in Portugal. We feel very lucky to actually have stayed on the Duoro River. The house was only an hour from Porto so we were able to go in for an extra shopping day. It was also only 1.5 hours or a bit less from Pinhao and we really enjoyed port tasting and a boat ride. Dinner at the DOC restaurant was amazing. I highly recommend the house. Beautiful views, pool, terrace and fireplace. The chef experience was also great. Alexandra was so wonderful as well. One comment on location...once we figured out how to get in and out, it was easy but beware gps. Alexandra was instrumental in getting us on the right road! We loved it...definitely include in your itinerary!

An unforgettable experience

We had an amazing time at Alexandra’s place celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday. She was by far the most personable and helpful host we have ever had-from setting up our chef dinner experience to arranging our boat tour, to sharing wine and fado music with us all. The property is so beautiful. We stayed three days-I wish it had been a week. Highlights included each bedroom having a private bath, the pool, the gorgeous views, and a truly unforgettable dinner at the house on our first night. Alexandra even brought a birthday cake and sparkling wine to celebrate. I hope one day we can return!

Amazing property with incredible views

The property is incredible, beautifully positioned with a view over the Douro that you could never tire of. Alexandra as a host was simply lovely and couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was perfect. We plan to return.

Best Part of our Vacation

An amazing property and Alexandra the owner is just incredibly nice and really accommodating. Great wines available and you can request a chef cooked meal which we did and truly enjoyed. The chef accommodated gluten free for one of our party which was great as well. Truly a beautiful home with everything you need to relax and use as a base for wine tours, hiking etc… Only an hour from Porto. The pool was perfect as was the terrace. Rooms were well equipped with great and firm beds. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen as well which was a big plus. Truly was our favorite part of the vacation and we spent 2+ weeks in Portugal.

About the host

Hosted by Dajas Douro Valley - exclusive villas

Why they chose this property

Initially conceived for private and exclusive use of the family, Casa do Rio is now a tourism house, aiming to keep the familiar and welcoming spirit as the fundamental guidelines of the project, not only through the meaningful decoration with objects belonging to different generations of owners but also through a cosy and attentive service granted to every costumer.

What makes this property unique

Let yourself linger in the balcony as me, while you have a delicious breakfast and gaze at a hand painted canvas of the Douro, enjoy a breath-taking sunset along with a tasting of one of the local wines or simply appreciate the priceless sound of silence in perfect harmony with the unique beauty of the landscapes of the Douro Valley Region.
