About this property

Village house at the gates of the Douro Valley: Casa Dona Fonseca

Old stone workshop where my ancestors made hooves, olive wood, we have fully restored keeping the charm of the stones outside, and giving a resolutely contemporary inside, in comfort and the area time.
a ground floor with an open kitchen, a sofa, coffee maker, kettle, hob, fridge ...
upstairs, an open and bright bedroom with a large cathedral ceiling, a 140 x 190 bed with memory foam mattresses, separate toilet, a bathroom with a large shower and quality fittings, a dressing room, a chest of drawers and a flowered balcony;
all mixing tradition and modernism, you will enjoy your stay.
Go on the Porto Wine Route and discover the spectacular landscape of the Douro valley, dotted with its small white villages, and its olive and wine properties called Quinta.
Cross and walk the streets of stone walls of this small village, and its paths leading to vineyards and olive groves
Let yourself be won by the charm of its welcoming and typical population of this region, listed as World Heritage of Humanity ...
All accessible from Casa Dona Fonseca.
We have also selected for you a lot of good addresses, restaurants, outings, inrattables, not to be missed, board games, good bottles of wine, all this is waiting for you!

Enjoyed our stay in the Douro Valley
Tidy, small, likely comfortable for 2 people only. Friendly owners. In a quaint village just off the main road so very peaceful. Just the way we like it!

Très décevant
Le logement est minuscule, et contrairement à ce qui est indiqué il n'y a pas 2 salles de bain. Aucune fenêtre ne possède de volet, les toilettes et la douche sont dans la chambre principale en mode ouvert. Le samedi soir il y a réunion au bar juste sous les fenêtres jusqu'à 3h00 du matin donc obligé de dormir les fenêtres fermées sans clim, et réveillé à 05:00 pa r le coq, les chiens et à 07:00 par le boulanger....

Visitar o Douro e fazer parte da aldeia
Fomos recebidos de uma forma muito acolhedora e simpática, sendo o Sr. José bastante prestável e estando sempre disponível. Aldeia muito pitoresca e típica do Douro vinhateiro com a sua amigável e calorosa gente. Sendo disso o exemplo perfeito o café e mercearia junto à habitação. Reconstrução da casa muito bem conseguida e com todas as comodidades disponíveis para uma agradável estadia. Localização ideal para descobrir e visitar muitos dos pontos e locais de interesse espalhados pelo Douro. Experiência a repetir futuramente, com certeza!

Escapadinha pelo Alto Douro Vinhateiro
Eu e o meu marido adoramos a estadia nesta linda e pacata vila. A casa é tal e qual a descrição do anúncio, muito acolhedora, limpa e é muito confortável apesar dos proprietários terem mantido as características originais. está com muito bom gosto. Adoramos e haveremos de voltar. Recomendamos vivamente! Rosa Maria e João.
