Holiday rentals in Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo

We had a fabulous stay in the Douro Valley. Jesse’s home was perfect for us. The heaters worked beautifully and we even lit a fire on the cold evenings. The views were like a dream. The driveway was a little intimidating the first few times, but we got used to it pretty quickly. We decided to drive up about 1/4 mile and turn around in a parking lot instead of trying to do a 3 point turn on the street. Once we figured that out, we were fine!

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!

Enjoyed a peaceful stay in Esphinhosa. The house is very inviting with plenty of room. Views are amazing with the vineyards across the lane. Virtually no traffic since it is the 2nd last place on the road. A leisurely 5-minute stroll to the little hamlet of Esphinhosa. There's a very small coffee bar & grocery store in town. It has the very basics to get you through. If you plan to make your own meals in the well-equipped kitchen, remember to purchase your groceries on the way. For large luggage, you will want to access the 2nd floor from the back door up the hill rather than using the spiral stairs. Also, Google Maps took us straight through Espinhosa. To squeeze through the houses where R.Direita meets R.dos Valados, we had to fold up the mirrors on our Dacia Duster with likely only 1/2" to spare on either side. Make sure to use Rua Cimo do Povo and follow the signs for Valado Houses. Good local food at Restaurante Pesqueirense in São João da Pesqueir.

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.

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.

Excellent hosting. The apartment is very comfortable with all the necessary equipment. Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the historic center, markets and good restaurants (highlight the Bella Ciao pizzeria). Easy to park in front of the apartment or very close by, on the main street. The reception was excellent, Cati was very welcoming and friendly, she showed us the whole place and gave us tips about the city, in addition to leaving bread, butter, milk, juice and several other products available for our stay. Thank you!!! It will certainly be our choice if we return to Ciudad Rodrigo.

New and very nice, beautiful and quiet place with everything you need. The owner was very welcoming and gave great recommendations.

Extremely pleasant in every aspect. We will certainly come back
