Our stay at Casa Da Levada with Virgilio, Ana and their two boys was beautiful! Myself, my wife and our 9 month old son stayed there for 6 nigjts. There rural home is stunning and they were extremely hospitable and welcoming. We especially enjoyed their cooking from time to time and the lovely home made 'vino verde' that Virgilio makes!! The house is made of granite rock which has been fully restored displaying all it's country charm and character. They farm flowers on their property and Virgilio happily took time out to show us around his wonderful green houses explaining to us the process involved and what life entails for them. It is a great location to explore northen Portugal and the stunning Meho region but a car is essential as it is quite remote. We would love to come back some day and we highly recommend any persons wanting to stay in this region of Portugal to go and stay with Virgilio and Ana you will love it!!!! Thank you again Virgilio and Ana

Wonderful experience. Thank you Virgilio and Anna. We hope to see you again in Portugal or San Fran Cisco !

Thanks to the GPS data, we have found the very beautiful accommodation immediately. Virgílio and Anna were so kindly, we felt so welcomed! They let us participate in their family life, invited us to dinner at the first night! The room, the house, everything was super clean and furnished with great attention to detail! An absolute recommendation for Virgílio and Anna! Thanks a lot for the nice experience! All the best for you and your children! Roman & Jana

Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de notre séjour dans la belle maison d'Ana et Virgilio. Cette maison située dans un cadre paisible, au beau milieu de la nature, offre malgré tout un accès très rapide à la ville, aux commerces et aux principaux axes routiers. Mais je tiens surtout à souligner la grande gentillesse d'Ana et Virgilio, les remercier pour leur accueil et leur disponibilité. Sans hésiter nous retournerons volontiers chez eux.

We had a delightful time staying in this charming house. Our hosts made us feel very welcome, and even invited us to dinner the first night we were there. When my daughter suddenly came down with a cold they were very kind and understanding. And, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about their flower and mushroom growing. Our room was very cozy and we enjoyed our view of the stream. There's a lot to see in the area and we would love to come back and explore more!

Beautiful house, very nice people and great food. Definitely recommended!

Virgilio and Ana shared their beautiful home with us, treating us as honored guests. Their home is a renovated farm house a little bit outside of Penafiel. There is a stream running behind their house and you are in the peaceful countryside. Virgilio picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. They offered to take us places even though they both are working and have two young boys. The room was en suite and they welcomed us to use the kitchen and living room. We enjoyed walking into Penafiel and around the area, but be warned, it is hilly. We cannot overstate how warm and friendly Virgilio and Ana are. Staying with Virgilio and Ana is like staying with family.

We had a great time at Virgílio and Anna's place. Beautiful house, clean and tidy, nice large room with private entrance, lovely location to explore the surroundings. Virgílio and Anna are very friendly. Perfect hosts, but above all great and lovely people!! Definitively recommend this place!

Lovely new house. Superb hosts. Lots of travel info, friendly conversation and tasty breakfast!

Beautiful property and excellent pool area facilities. We arrived very late at night but were still met with a smile, wine and custard tarts! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone for a relaxing break away from it all! :)

le paradis ! Quel plaisir de faire votre connaissance Alda...merci beaucoup pour votre chaleureux accueil à votre superbe maison. La maison est sublime, accueillante, et chaleureuse, grâce à ses boiseries omniprésentes. Nous n'avons (hélas) résidé qu'une seule nuit, mais s'il est possible, nous réserverons pour l'année prochaine à la même date afin de profiter de ce cadre merveilleux... Muito obrigada Alda !!!

Our stay at Penafiel was great: amazing house of Alda and family, warm welcome and sharing of informations. We stayed there with my husband and our children and all was well equipped: kitchen, tables inside and outsides, rooms and beds, bathrooms, garden(s), pool.... Just a perfect holiday and environment. We really had a great stay, in this perfect place for families and friends. Thanks Alda for making our 2016 summer holidays a great experience in Porto! ❤️

Such amazing experience. Alda is a very nice person, and we really felt welcome. Everything in the house was clean and in good conditions. We felt like home. The facilities are good and kids had an amazing time in the pool. The farm is huge and provides nice walks. The landscape, amazing... So we really had a good, quite, and relaxing time in a natural envoirenment. We do recomend this place. A public thanks to Alda.

Très belle maison avec une superbe vue. Alda est très accueillante. Il y a tout le nécessaire pour bien profiter des vacances notamment une piscine qui a fait beaucoup de bien pour se rafraîchir ! Nous serons très content de revenir un été. Merci Alda.

This family house is a pleasure to stay! The view from the terrace is great!! The swimming pool is also nice and there is enough space/rooms for 8 people. The region is also beautiful. We definitely recommend this place! Thank you Alda!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Alda's house near Penafiel. The location is lovely with great views and a nice pool. The gardener was friendly and gave us some excellent onions and other home grown salad vegetables which was nice. We liked the area and found some interesting restaurants. Ivan recommend this rental.

We felt very welcome upon our arrival. The house is in the forest with cleared views of the valley. It was a very special experience.

Bon petit déjeuner avec jus d'orange frais. Les hôtes sont à l'écoute et serviables. Emplacement proche Porto et campagne. Chambre dans son jus de l'époque ce qui fait son charme.

This place is amazing, clearly looks as in the pictures, and as in a magazine. Sleeps 2 adults and 3 kids very comfortably. Everyone in our family loved the place Our Host was extremely friendly to us and the family, both at time of preparation for our stay, but also during our visit itself. All of the crew was available : to pick us close to the railway station, to carry our luggage, or to book a taxi to go to the airport. Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy , so we did not have a chance to test the pool. We want to come back. Highly recommended

It was pleasure meeting you both, Benedita and Paulo!! There were a lot of feelings comming up as soon as we arrived the House.. a timeless place, full of quiet and comfy elements!! Well done with the decoration, by the way.... We recommend the place to everyone!! See you soon.... and thank for the passion fruit!!

This is as good as airbnb gets! The most beautiful house, in beautiful surroundings, with the kindest hosts you could wish for. The house is incredibly well decorated and equipped, and everything is very well thought out, with a great location only 30km from Porto. I thoroughly recommend staying here and we are already plotting to come back soon.

Our stay in the country house was perfect. The hosts are very kind and the house is the perfect getaway, with everything you need to live for a week. We´ll be coming back very soon. The review on my blog : (URL HIDDEN) Thank you so much for everything and see you soon *

Lovely place - lots of character to it, and a great rustic feel. Gorgeous location and great swimming pool. Very relaxing to be there. Hosts very helpful.

This really wonderful House, settled on the hills in the middle of a wineyard represents the big and great idea of airbnb. A really private area with an spectacular view over the valley, surrounded by wine plants and well, managed by a lovely, helpfull and nice family which tradition goes back to the 12th century. Stunning! More than you need and really everything is over there to cook large meals, i enjoyed the bathroom and especially the sleeping room – so cute and so good. The best way to describe the pool is not to say pool. That place where you can swim, jump in, hangout or watch over the valley surrounded by large trees, that place i don´t call pool. We was very lucky to find that amazing place and met so wonderful guys, we certainly recommend it to all. I really wrote that in english and not in german for all the german mates because i want you to understand what i say, goncalo! Thanks for everything and all the best …

The house is absolutely lovely - it fits exactly the description and the pictures. It was super comfortable to us (a couple) but I'm sure it is spacious enough for more people. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need, on the terrace with a view over the valley you could spend a whole day. We didn't swim in the pool because the weather was too cold but it looks tempting, like a gem in the middle of a secret garden. We enjoyed a total privacy yet we knew we could contact the host almost any moment. A quality itself are the decorations inside the house - some details are just unrepeatable!

Fantastic house, fantastic hosts, fantastic setting, fantastic pool, fantastic privacy, fantastic fresh food baskets.....we couldn't have asked for anything more.

A estadia foi muito agradável. O Gonçalo e a sua mulher foram atenciosos e sempre disponíveis para nos ajudar, antes e durante a estadia. Deixaram produtos da terra (tomates, limões, uvas e outras frutas) para nosso consumo, o que achamos ser um toque fantástico. O espaço é um pouco longe do local onde se estaciona o carro mas é um pormenor pequeno em relação a todo a envolvente. Recomendamos dar um passeio pela mata à volta da piscina. Basicamente ficamos muito satisfeitos com a estadia. Obrigado Gonçalo.

Tres bon accueil, grande disponibilité. Superbe propriété au milieu des vignes, dépaysement assuré, calme garanti. La maison de style grange rénovée présente tout le confort pour passer un magnifique séjour. On reviendra.

Notre famille (2 adultes et 3 jeunes de 16, 21 et 23 ans) a été accueilli chaleureusement par nos hôtes (explications, supports pour lieux à visiter, attentions culinaires qui nous attendaient...). Adorable et très charmante maison, décorée avec goût, au milieu des vignes de la propriété dans la vallée du Douro (35 mn de Porto) avec une belle vue panoramique. C'est cosy et l'essentiel est là pour une famille, tout y est pour se changer les idées. La piscine est dans les hauteurs, là vous êtes ailleurs et pouvez profiter de la grande quiétude des lieux.

What a treat to stay here. The vineyard house was a romantic retreat within an historic estate, with it's own medieval tower. If you are looking for a place with loads of history and a fascinating location, this is the place for you. Our hosts were lovely and so gracious. They even gave us a tour of the Manor with attached chapel. Hit the store before you arrive and plan to stay and enjoy the view.

If you are looking for a neat modern house with direct view on the wine yards this is it! It is peaceful and even with our children of 7 and 9 we enjoyed it very much. The pool is perfect and more private then this is not possible. Porto, beach and Douro valley are nearby (30 min drive ) so there is enough to do in the environment! We loved the place and the contactpersons are very nice too.

De locatie is prachtig, velen malen beter dan op de foto's. Ons ontvangst door Gonçalo was erg hartelijk, nadat we hopeloos waren verdwaald heeft hij ons toch naar de locatie weten te leiden. Ons huisje lag op 200 meter lopen van de familiewoning. Ook voor mensen die minder goed te been zijn, prima te doen doordat het overgrote deel breed en vlak is. Het huisje voldeed volledig aan de verwachtingen, alles was aanwezig. Wij waren ook erg verwend met een grote mand met allerlei soorten fruit en een grote schaal met verschillende tomaten en paprika's. Ook in de koeling lag nog een hoop lekkers. Te veel om op te kunnen krijgen met z,n tweetjes. De familie doet duidelijk zijn best om je het beste uit je vakantie te kunnen laten halen. Ze hebben een hele mooie en zeer complete map gemaakt van de omgeving met allerlei handig tips. De omgeving was voor ons niet geheel onbekend maar hebben evengoed leuke dingen uit de map gehaald. Wij raden deze locatie van harte aan en gunnen velen anderen om heerlijk weg te dromen al starend over de wijngaard. Het huisje ligt tegen een stukje bos aan dus in de avond zie je uilen overvliegen wat ook zeer mooi is. Het heeft ons aan niks ontbroken en danken de familie dan ook voor alles.

La casa ha sido todo un descubrimiento en una finca rodeada de historia y viñedos. Paulo y Benedicta son unos excelentes anfitriones. Un lugar que recomiendo para todos aquellos que busquen un entorno tranquilo y busquen lugares con un encanto especial. Tradición y modernidad, un mix perfecto.

Anfitriões muito simpáticos. Quinta muito bonita e repousante. Bom gosto na decoração!
