It would be wonderful for a large family or a group of friends wanting to discover this lovely area full of vineyards, olive groves and luscious countryside.
The design of the villa is incredible. Contrasting stone and stark white, it is all straight-lines, contemporary and with lots of glass giving magnificent views of the gorgeous valley.

Throughout the house, there are little spots with fantastic viewpoints.
You cannot fail to be happy with this villa – it is so well designed and very comfortable and in an absolutely sensational location.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LalioThe Douro Valley, listed as a World Heritage Site, is often thought of as the enchanted valley. It is a majestic wilderness and one of the oldest demarcated wine regions of the world. The landscapes are breath-taking and can be experienced by road, train, cruise boat and even helicopter. The best vistas are on either side of the river so along the way you will cross the river, visiting vineyards, towns and villages. The valley starts at Porto and continues through Portugal to the border at Miranda de Douro. Brimming with natural beauty, the best viewpoints are Ventozelo near the Portugal-Spanish border and Miradouro Sao Leonardo da Galafura, between Peso da Regua and Pinhao – so close to Villa Lalio.
The Douro Museum at Peso da Regua is really interesting and being so close it is a great place to start learning about the culture and identity of the Douro wine region.
Lamego is one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Portugal. Incredible blue and white tiled steps lead to the amazing Shrine of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios. You really need to take your time to contemplate the beautiful Cathedral de Lamengo, founded in 1129. It is so sensational.
Pinhao is a must-visit. You can admire the ancient tiles in the railway station dedicated to the cultivation of wines and take a wonderful rabelo boat guided tour with a glass of port! These flat, wide, wooden barcos rabelos were used for centuries to transport port barrels down the river. You will take a very quiet, breath-taking cruise between wonderful vineyards and terraces reaching the Tua area passing under the Eiffel iron bridge.
At Quinta da Roeda, less than a mile from Pinhao, the old barns and stables of the grape farm have been converted to a visitor centre with a wonderful terrace overlooking the Benedita vineyard. You can taste the Croft range of ports and even tread the grapes during harvest time. The Quinta do Panascal estate is also open to visitors close to Pinhao. Quinta do Bomfim, less than 5 minutes walk from Pinhao makes Dow’s, Warre’s and Cockburn ports. It has a fantastic museum. You can take a tour and a tasting. They even provide picnics, complete with wine.
While in this very special region you really should savour some delicious, typical Douro cuisine. Some favourite dishes are bacalhau (salt cod), roasted suckling pig and octopus salad. You should also sample olive oils and honey as well as the delectable port and table wines
Avid bird watchers should get their cameras ready to snap unique images of a black stork, Egyptian vultures, Griffon vultures, golden eagles, Bonelli’s eagle, Peregrine falcons and black red kites.

ABOUT THE DOURO
A symbol of Portugal’s birth and growth as a nation, the Douro has long been the country’s lifeline. Leaving the pastel-coloured metropolis of Porto, venture through the enchanting countryside.
Following the winding Douro river east from Porto reveals one of the most scenic drives in Europe and Portugal’s premier wine region, the Douro Valley. 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.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren will have a wonderful time staying in Villa Lalio and the Douro region. The villa’s pool is amazing, and has shallow steps into it. They may not want to get out! The villa is very spacious and perfect for them.
The Douro region offers many family-friendly activities. You can arrange canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on the Douro river which they will love. Why not take a picnic for a lovely day out and include a trip on the river? Also thoroughly enjoyable would be a scenic train trip along the river or into Porto. One of the most beautiful train trips in the area is the one hour chug upriver from Pinhao to Pocinho. It goes five times daily.
If you do travel into Porto children will love the beach at Matosinhos, surf lessons, the interactive museum The World of Discoveries and running and playing in the Crystal Palace Gardens. As you enter, you will see a central fountain and on the sides four statues that symbolize the four seasons – a great way to teach children the differences between the seasons.
Whilst they might not appreciate the wine tastings, they will absolutely love crushing grapes with their feet in harvest time. Many of the vineyards offer interesting tours, and they are great places for picnics.
Children will also love a day out to Vale do Coa Archaeological Park which is an open-air rock art gallery and World Heritage Site. It is stunning and a great place for children to learn and also run about. It is best to book though as it is very popular.
