Stunning views and great location. Beautiful home and grounds. Lots of nearby restaurants and a Super Mercado. Marcos was a great host. Very good communication, and his welcome information package was very useful and detailed. The home was well equipped and although there were only 4 of us, it obviously can handle large groups. Thank you Marcos!

Amazing Location With Great Views

The garden with pool is lovely and many great outdoor spaces. The house is a combination of rustic and modern. Older part of house has charm whereas the new areas have large windows, and remodeled bathrooms. Marcos did a fantastic job communicating with us and gave outstanding info on stores, restaurants and activities. A car is required and about an hour away from the beginning of the Douro valley wine region.

There are no houses visible on this side of the river. The view to the other side is incredible. The location is quiet and peaceful. The owner was very accommodating and any of our needs were met quickly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautify place to stay in the valley.

We had a great time at Quinta das Tilias Douro Valley. The view does not disappoint...beautiful!It was easy to find with the instructions given and Marcos was always available to answer questions before and after arrival. The property is quiet and peaceful. Easy parking for several cars. There is also a small grocery store less than a 5 minute drive away. There wasn't a lot of English spoken there, but we were able to get everything we needed with no problems. The weather was cool and damp during our visit so we did not use the pool, but it looked to be in nice condition.This was our first time using a home rental, and everything went very smoothly, from the booking to communication with Marcos. We would do this again and if you're looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway, I would highly recommend this property!P.S. We really enjoyed eating at Desvio Roulote Bar, which was only a few minutes away. Delicious, affordable food in a fun, laid back atmosphere

First of all the view is as stunning as on the photos and Marcos is a fantastic host.The house is a good location overlooking the river between Porto (1h10mins) and the central wine region (1h45mins). Hiring a car from the airport and driving around Porto and region was all very easy and the autoroutes are amongst the best in the world.Unfortunately, we were very unlucky with rubbish weather at the end of October so the unheated pool wasn't used, which was a shame.We did have a bit of confusion around the bed arrangements and Marcos has been made aware of listing issues. If not updated there are 3 bedrooms, all of which had a double bed and single futon and one also had a bunk bed (so suitable for a family of 5). There is also a sofa bed in the lounge.Its a stunning house and location. I actually think Marcos could charge a lot more money with a few relatively small improvements. 1) Upgrade and standardise bed sheets and kitchenware so its bit less of a mish mash and a bit more luxury, 2) Replace the TV with a smart TV for access to netflix etc..., especially as the wifi is excellent 3) Provide a few more cooking and cleaning essentials and maybe a bottle of local wine on arrival. We bought and left a lot behind but i think that the previous guests possibly cleared everything out.It was a wonderful stay, despite being very unlucky with the weather and hopefully these bits are helpfull to adding more value to your property in the future. Thank you Macos!

Der Blick ist ein Traum. Das Außengelände inkl. Pool ist super angelegt. Die Lage ist klasse. Es lohnt sich die Gegend zu erkunden, wenn man gerne in der Natur ist. Nach Porto und zu schönen Stränden am Meer dauert es ca. eine Stunde mit dem Auto. Auch Fluss-Strände sind nur ein paar Kilometer entfernt. Ein kleiner Supermarkt befindet sich in der Nähe. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war perfekt!

wunderschönes Domizil am Douro

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen und erholsamen Urlaub von 14 Tagen in dem Ferienhaus. Es liegt ca. eine Autostunde von Porto aus am Douro. Bereits im Vorfeld war die Kommunikation mit Marcos, dem Eigentümer vorbildlich ! Exakte Anfahrtbeschreibung erhalten, so dass es kein Suchen gab. Marcos hat sich sehr um unser Wohlbefinden gekümmert, durch regelmässige whattsapps und er hat uns auch unterstützt, dort wo wir selbst nicht weiterkamen. Das Haus liegt wunderschön am Douro auf einem sehr großen Grundstück und ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Toller Blick aus dem Wohnzimmer und von der Terrasse auf den Douro. Die Terrasse kann mit den Sonnensegeln sehr gut beschattet werden. Der Pool ist sehr sauber und ausreichend groß. Gerne haben wir auch den Outdorr-Grill genutzt. Das Haus liegt abseits der Hauptstrasse, so dass man keinen Strassenlärm hat. Restaurants, Supermärkte und Bäcker sind im Radius von ca drei Kilometern gut erreichbar. es war wunderbar erholsam und wir kommen bestimmt einmal wieder

Truly exceptional owner and property. Comes as advertised, pictures do not do this place justice. Host was so responsive and organized. Went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our stay. This is an example of how a VRBO should be run. We hope to come back again for a longer stay!

As vistas, seja do deck externo quanto da sala, são maravilhosas. O anfitrião foi sempre muito atencioso e disponível. Ofereceu informações locais e agendou visitas para nós. O staff também foi muito atencioso e disponível. Outro ponto interessante é a proximidade com o centro de Souselo, com acesso a farmácia, mercado, bomba de gasolina, etc.

traumhafte Lage

Wie schon mehrfach erwähnt, und auf den Bildern ersichtlich, kann man die Lage des Anwesens nur als traumhaft bezeichnen. Man kann sich nicht satt sehen. Das Haus hat alles was man benötigt (wir haben uns allerdings einige Weingläser gekauft, weil die im Haus vorhandenen aus Plastik sind, wohl wegen Bruchgefahr) Die Kommunikation und Hilfsbereitschaft von Marcos ist wirklich überragend. An unserem Ankunftstag gegen 20:00 ließ sich ein Wasserhahn nicht mehr schließen. Marcos organisierte, am Samstagabend, einen Klempner, der den Wasserhahn ersetzte. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und man ist mit dem Auto in 5 Minuten im kleinen Örtchen Souselo, wo es einen hervorragenden Bäcker und einen erstaunlich gut bestückten, kleinen Supermarkt gibt. Porto oder das Meer erreicht man in ca. 1 h Fahrzeit. Wir waren 3 Personen und hatten dementsprechend Platz im Überfluss. Aber auch mit 6 Personen muss man sich nicht einschränken. Wenn wir wieder in dieser Gegend Urlaub machen, dann genau in diesem Haus. Es ist einfach perfekt und zu 100% zu empfehlen.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love immediately the framework of the Fifth .... I walked about 2 years in research and visits to properties in Gerês and Douro until ...... fell in love with this.

What makes this property unique

Total exclusivity, no neighbors, only privacy, fully facing west (which is essential to make the most hours of sun and the pool). Maximum comfort, after a careful restoration and down to the smallest detail. Ideal for children, and lots of mobility for all, it has a road (new and very large), since the beginning of the property to the garden and pool area.
Supermarkets, restaurant, pharmacy, cafe, bank, petrol station, etc ... just 3 Kms away
