Holiday rental: 6 bed Apartment in Douro Porto-North Portugal Portugal, for rent short term

Magic in the Water

Blending into the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, this stunning farmhouse sits on the verdant banks of the Golden River in Vila Real. And with its own private pier – maximise your experience by arriving at this home on a boat. Whether you're here on a luxurious retreat or using the space to host an event, the majestic setting here will leave you awe-struck from the moment you arrive.

The house itself is, too, filled with admirable charm and many admirable features. Having been restored to maintain its traditional character, its old stone walls and the original wine-crushing wells bring personality, while modern home comforts invite guests to relax and unwind with nothing but ease. And since each bedroom suite is positioned to face views of the river, waking up here will feel like something out of a fairytale for every member of the group.

Whether you're taking in the breathtaking views up and down the river from your private suite or out on the decked terrace – it's likely the serenity found here will put you in a meditative state of utter bliss. The outdoor terrace also boasts a swimming pool and sunbathing spot – perfect for lazy days spent soaking up nature in peace.

Although peeling yourself away from here won't be easy, you'll have the region's wine and Port tastings on your doorstep. Not to mention the abundant hiking opportunities and the possibility of catching the sunset while out sailing on the river. Nope – you're not dreaming.
