Holiday rentals in Caravelas

Magical location in the Douro Valley. Maria was wonderful, we had everything we needed for a 3 night stay in winter. Can’t wait to come back in warmer months to see the full beauty of the Douro.

My family and I had a lovely time at Quinta do Vale da Ermida. Very quiet and peaceful location with a stunning view, especially from the pool. Very spacious and equipped with all the amenities we required for our stay. Last but not least, Catarina was always very responsive, helpful, and proactive in her communication with us. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay was all we hoped it would be. Thanks to Tania who looks after the property and who looked after us so well. Beautiful property with stunning views of the valley. Would love to return.

Phillipa and Paul were absolutely lovely to work with and their property is unbelievable! We felt like we owned a Quinta for a few nights! we got to explore the property, visit with Paul and one of their sons, and savor the beauty of the Douro. They were proactive with communication and sourced a number of wonderful adventures, activities and meals. Without their guidance our trip would have been less fun!

This was the most magical place for our family of five. I now want to come back and try all of Miguel’s other properties. A true highlight was taking advantage of the connections to local vendors that come with the hosts recommendations. Private dinner at the Pinta Lounge was amazing . I said to my husband at one point , “ I am so happy I could cry” - that sums up this cottage.

Nestled in wine territory, with a 5 minute drive up winding roads to the top of the hillside in Folgosa, the home gave spectacular views of the Douro Valley! Mimi recommended restauants, wineries and other areas of interest which we found extremely helpful. All the recommendations were exactly as she described and all were fabulous. We enjoyed the fact that home's location was within 20 -30 minute of Lamego, Peso da Regua & Pinhao which allowed us day trips. Then back to the lanai for sitting by the pool, watching sunsets and drinking wine!

To stay at Ricardo’s house is a one of a kind experience. The house is in the middle of an old wine yard. You can walk for hours on the terrain, which has multiple levels of wine ranks. Private waterfall and forest. There are some donkeys, they are the natural lawn mowers. We were there in February, which means cold nights. A big pile of wood in the shed next door, which you can use the burn in the wood stove to stay warm or the inside BBQ. (In summertime it is prohibited by the state to BBQ outside due the risk of forest fire) Douro valley is beautiful, you’ll need some driving experience though (we ended up on the narrowest en steepest roads, in thick fog, big thrill!) Coffee house around the corner, restaurants close by and even a Go Kart track at 4km. I could tell way more, but I won’t. This is a must see and a highly recommended stay.

A perfect stay for couples 🥰

We received a warm welcome. The apartment was very clean and the living area was stylishly decorated. The view over the lake was stunning, as was the surrounding countryside. As road cyclists, we really loved the area. The pool was great for post-ride sunny ice baths (in September!). 😉
