With terraces of vines lining the riverbanks, Douro Valley holidays offer stunning hiking trails, beautiful viewpoints and a wonderful selection of peaceful retreats.
In the Douro, you will find quiet towns and villages, vineyards hugging the bends, castles from the time of the Reconquest and other places worthy of a stop to look far into the horizon.

A beautiful house
A beautiful house with lots of interesting spots to be, right on the shore of the Douro. Climb down a short ladder and you're in the water. The property owners were lovely and friendly people with great advice about where to go and what to.
