The county of Vila Real is a group of 13 municipalities, which makes up the Alto Douro Wine region and UNESCO World Heritage. The village of Guiães is in the heart of the wine producing region of Sabrosa. The population of the village is 480 although in the summer months the number doubles! The first weekend of August is the
popular Saints party in the village and that is when all of the bunting and flags comes out. The village dates back to the 1200 with the first charter from D. Sancho on the 8th April 1202.

There are many exciting and relaxed things to do locally, 10 minutes away by car is S. Leonardo de Galafura which has one of the most amazing views over the Douro river, a visit to the Mateus Palace and grounds is just 15 minutes away and of course a trip on the Douro river departing from Peso de Regua down to Pinhão going through the huge lock and then returning by train which runs along side the river.

Hidden Gem with Views to Die for !
We had a great time in this lovely place hidden away in Portugal. We were a mixed group of friends and family - ages from 5 to 85. The facilities were excellent and the views were absolutely amazing. The hosts and Maria were incredibly helpful - Brilliant!

Amazing views
Six of us stayed for ten days. Unfortunately other members of the family and friends couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances. So we had this very large and very impressive property to ourselves! The villa/farmhouse has the most amazing views looking across the valley and vineyards and was very quiet day and night. The rooms are all very comfortable and well furnished and the bathrooms clean and smart. There is no aircon and there are a few fans. The pool is lovely and very secluded. On arrival we got a warm welcome from the owner Filipe who went out of his way to help, even running two of us down to the supermarket in Vila Real. We did all our own cooking and found the kitchen a bit small so it might be difficult for a larger party. The only other issue we had was the rough track that leads to the property is really narrow and the walls were in poor condition with a partial collapse half way down! Not good and really needs attention. Overall though, we all really enjoyed our stay in this amazing property.

Prachtige locatie!
Wat een prachtig huis, een fantastisch uitzicht op de vallei en een mooie omgeving! Wij waren er een week met ons gezin (12 personen) om ons 50-jarig huwelijk te vieren. Iedereen was zeer verrast door de mooie plek. Het enige minpuntje was dat Maria niet voor ons bleek te kunnen koken, terwijl in de informatiemap beschreven stond wat zij allemaal zou kunnen maken.

About the host

Hosted by The Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Filipe and I are a team, he is an agronomist and I am an event manager, we have been together for 39 years, he is Portuguese and I am English, we live most of the year near Lisbon, but love the Douro, on average we go to the farm once or twice a month!

Why they chose this property

The property has been in the family for many years, we inherited it from our aunt and uncle, our aunts grandfather came to Portugal with Eiffel to build the Maria Pia Bridge in Oporto, he liked Porto so much he stayed and married, his son bought this farm and started producing Port wine, now days we do not make Port wine here but we do produce the grapes for it, along with grapes for red and white wine, which we do make on the farm alternatively.

What makes this property unique

The area where the farm is located apart from being very beautiful is still very traditional, you might even say rural, the only sound you will hear is the church bells ringing at the weekend and once a year at the beginning of August is the village party which last for 3 days, with bands, folk dancing and lots of church processions.
