The house is at a perfect location overlooking the valley. The view is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures! Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There is also a shared kitchen and terrace, as well as a lovely sitting area outside where you can relax and admire the view. The house faces east, so you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise in the morning — definitely a special way to start the day. Overall, it’s absolutely worth the drive, and we really enjoyed our stay!
Unser Gastgeber war aus familiären Gründen nicht vor Ort. Unsere Bewertung betrifft daher ausschließlich unsere Unterkunft und den gebuchten Service. Das wir gerne Grillen und Winetasting gehabt hätten wird nicht beurteilt. Es ist eine komfortable Unterkunft mit einem einzigartigen Blick. So morgens aufwachen grandios. Check in und out sowie das Frühstück waren als Ausweich auf einer benachbarten Quinta organisiert und lecker. Auch eine wunderbare Ruhe konnten wir genießen, als wir 1 1/2 Tage allein die Unterkunft bewohnt haben. Wir empfanden dies als Vertrauensbeweis und wir sind froh, das unser Aufenthalt nicht storniert wurde.
Aus dem Grund, das unser Gastgeber nicht vor Ort sein konnte ergaben sich natürlich organisatorische Mängel, deren Beiseitigung von den Nachbarn sofort erledigt wurde. Für uns wäre es sicher hilfreich gewesen, wenn wir vorab eine Benachrichtigung erhalten hätten. Dann wäre uns am Anreitetag viel Fahrerei erspart geblieben .
המיקום מצוין! שקט ומפנק. הנוף של עמק הדורו מרהיב. החדרים יפיפיים עם חלון פונה אל הנוף והמיטה נוחה!
למרות שבעל הבית לא היה, וחל עיכוב וטעות בחדרים, קיבלנו שירות מצוין ממי שהופקד לטפל בנו!
Everything! Beautiful location, comfortable room and living area. Gorgeous views.

O hotel é um conto de fadas. O Martten foi um anfitrião excecpional que fez com que nos sentissemos em casa. Acompanhá-lo fazendo a vendemia foi um dos pontos altos da viagem. A vista do quarto é simplesmente fabulosa. Café da manhã de cinema. Super recomendo!!!
De nada, tudo é maravilhoso! Paisagem de cinema.
The stay here with Marteen was definitely a peak experience of our 12 day Portugal road trip. Marteen is an exceptional host, and we were truly impressed with how he was able to run this whole operation pretty much solo. The house itself took 10 years to build, and you can tell Marteen is a man of taste, and don’t even get me started on the view and the double rainbows we were blessed with after the rain!
We had difficulty finding the property and got lost following the gps for quite awhile before Marteen came to the rescue. Search for Luyt Winery on Google Maps if you’re having trouble finding the place.
Wir haben schon in vielen Hotels auf der Welt übernachtet, aber der Blick von diesem wunderbaren Ort war wirklich einzigartig. Lieber Maarten, du hast dir ein echtes Paradies geschaffen und wir haben uns sehr wohl bei dir gefühlt!
Amazing views from every cot. Very attentive and fun host- Martin, makes the difference. Very clean and well kept. Martin served us the house wine for welcome and it’s superb.
A bit far from any town so you must arrive by car. Curtains in the room won’t cover the sun when rising so prepare to wake up early. Besides that it’s a great place to relax after a long day’s tour in Douro area.
Accoglienza ottima nel giardino davanti ad un bel bicchiere di vino. Vista,spettacolare sulla valle con i vigneti ed il fiume. Marteen veramente una persona,speciale
Vue exceptionnelle . Équipements de bon niveau. Disponibilité de l'accueil. Excellent petit déjeuner. Ballade dans les vignes .

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und waren sehr beeindruckt von dem grandiosen Ausblick in's Douro Tal. Das Haus hat eine sensationelle Lage. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Besonders genossen haben wir den ausgezeichneten Wein unseres Gastgebers und das Babecue. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Maarten!
Es gibt nichts zu kritisieren! Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt!
Geweldig uitzicht, ook vanuit de kamer! Maarten is een attente gastheer.
El hospedajes es luminoso, la habitación espaciosa y la vista espectacular. Su desayuno está bien. Un poco lejos pero merece la pena por las vistas. Solo llegas en automóvil. Muy atento el casero.
Falta limpieza en el baño y especial habitación, mucha mota (polvo) debajo de la cama. Un olor peculiar en el salón.
Die Aussicht ist unübertroffen großartig! Martin hat super Tipps, wie man die Zeit am Douro perfekt ausfüllt! Das Frühstück mit den anderen Gästen an einem großen Tisch lässt den morgen mit interessanten Gesprächen beginnen!
Really a unique location and concept. It all starts with a beautiful place with clean en comfortable rooms. The absolute stellar view each room completes it. The host makes it unique. A Dutch wine maker with an inspiring life story which he obviously loves to tell to its visitors. We are a family of 6. Two adults and kids ranging from 11 to 17. They all loved the place. We were in a fortunate and unique situation that harvest came unexpectedly early. Our host friendly “probed” whether we were in to help him out to harvest the grapes. Off course this was met with great enthusiasm and we found ourselves picking grapes like true professionals! The concept. The host. The barbecue. The attention with which everything was done it all makes it an amazing place to spend some time.

Quinta de Alaude ist ein Traum! Die Lage ist so schön, hoch über dem Douro. Die Anfahrt war zwar etwas spannend, aber mit Hilfe von Google Maps etc. völlig machbar. Unser Zimmer war super, das Bett total gemütlich. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und liebevoll zusammengestellt. Was die Unterkunft herausragend macht ist definitiv der Gastgeber, Maarten. Seine warmherzige und natürliche Art begeistert einfach. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit dort, leider waren es nur zwei Nächte.
Prachtige B&B met waanzinnig uitzicht!! Mooiste uitzicht in de regio! Veel rust en ingeven door wijngaarden en Quinta’s. Maarten is een geweldige gastheer, die altijd voor je klaar staat en zijn uiterste best doet om je een heerlijk verblijf te geven; met goede tips en mooie verhalen. Vergeet niet zijn heerlijke wijnen en olijfolie te proeven.
Niets!
The property had the best view and was so well appointed!
There was nothing to not like
Läget, utsikten, lugnet, frukosten och värden! Vi fick ett varmt välkomnande.
Amazing place with a fabulous host. Would go again anytime
Położenie obiektu z którego można było obserwować wschód słońca absolutnie niesamowity, przemiły Gospodarz, który chętnie dzielił się wszelkimi informacjami
Maarten clearly was a highlight. A great exchange of cultures, understanding the differences, starting from scratch in a new country. He was also unabashed about sharing his lessons and his winemaking journey. We learnt a great deal from him. His property was very clean and homely, it was also quiet and comfortable, with incredible views of the Douro river. Possibly the best views we have had in our entire trip to Portugal. It was a postcard view from the bed, and our barbecue was looking right into that postcard sunset.

Perfekcyjna lokalizacja dla szukających wyciszenia. Mały obiekt położony na skraju winnicy z 3 komfortowymi pokojami gwarantującymi niezapomniane widoki na dolinę rzeki Douro. Przepiękna część wspólna, w tym otwarte patio gdzie serwowane są śniadania. Projekt i działo Martina, przemiłego gospodarza, z ciekawą historią życia, gwarantujący domową atmosferę przy przygotowywanych przez siebie posiłkach oraz winach i oliwie własnej produkcji. Doskonały, nienachalny towarzysz do ciekawych rozmów. Mamy nadzieję, że uda się nam wrócić do tego miejsca.......
Primeiramente o anfitrião Martim é muito especial e atencioso. O ambiente é muito agradável, a casa é linda com uma vista incrível, banheiros novos e modernos, ótimos chuveiros e camas super confortáveis. O café da manhã servido foi delicioso e bem completo. Foi sensacional acordar com o nascer do sol.
De locatie was prachtig, wat ons het meest beviel was de uitstekende gastvrijheid van Maarten en het prachtige uitzicht op de Douro vanuit onze kamer en het huis. Wij raden een verblijf bij Maarten zeker aan!
Ons viel niks tegen!
Friendly atmosphere, great view, great room and excellent breakfast
Everything was perfect

L'accueil chaleureux, convivial et généreux de Maarten, son vin délicieux , la maison extraordinaire avec une vue à couper le souffle sur le Douro, le confort des chambres, le silence, le petit déjeuner copieux et sympathique en table d'hôtes, nous avons adoré notre trop court séjour chez vous, Maarten ! Un grand merci et à une prochaine fois.
Wonderful property and experience with Marteen. One of a kind
Nothing at all
We had a wonderful stay and Marteen is an exceptional host. We will miss the conversations we had with Marteen and the amazing view of the Douro valley. Thanks again for the hospitality, hope to see you again!

Maarten is a truly amazing host. He is kind, attentive, and very knowledgable about wine and the Douro region. The stay was absolutely lovely, including the group breakfast and optional bbq. The drive up to the property became one of our favourite parts as well. The first time it is slightly scary, but after that, you see that Maarten has some of the best views in the valley. Dank u wel Maarten!
Very special hospitality at a unique location, overlooking the magnificent mountains and the Duoro river. All rooms have glass wall to the view. The hospitality by Maarten feels like visiting a good friend at his villa.
The location is up the mountain in a rural area so the first time you drive there feels far and remote from the valley (where Pinao village is located). For the first time, recommend to arrive before darkness and look for the name LUYT written at the entrance.
Maarten was a fantastic host, an amazing location with breathtaking views
Ein Traum! Hier passt einfach alles! Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage bei Maarten. Er hat sich ein Paradies geschaffen und lässt seine Gäste daran teilhaben. Mitten in den Weinbergen, mit einem fantastischen Blick ins das Douro-Tal. Eine Wohltat für alle Sinne. Wir waren drei Tage hier und haben Maartens Gastfreundschaft, das köstliche Frühstück, das Barbeque, eine Weinprobe, unser schönes Zimmer, die Umgebung - einfach alles - sehr genossen. Einzigartig ist die Architektur des Hauses, die es ermöglicht, dass man aus allen Zimmern einen unfassbar schönen Blick auf das Tal hat. Es war einfach wundervoll!
Marteen Luyt, is a one person show in the area for 20 years. i was travelling alone, ended up spending several hours with him discussing everything from wine making to everything under the sky. we went out together for dinner in town about 30 minutes away. The property is magically perched on top of a hill and vineyards all around the whole glass wall is a picterusque view of meandering Duoro River and steep hills with vineyard
a close restaurant
Wij hebben 4 heerlijke dagen mogen doorbrengen bij Maarten en dat was een schot in de roos. De kamers zijn prachtig en het uitzicht op de Douro is werkelijk fantastisch, elke ochtend weer genieten. De locatie is ideaal: midden in het hart van de Douro-regio en op slechts 30 minuten rijden van het pittoreske Pinhão. Maarten zelf is ook echt een topper; hij geeft met veel passie en enthousiasme tips over wat er te doen en te zien is in de omgeving. Absolute aanrader voor iedereen die de Douro-regio wil ontdekken!
Maarten was such an incredible host and truly went above and beyond to make our time special & gave such great local recommendations. The views were absolutely incredible and we loved our room and the breakfasts. We will always remember our time here and are so glad we went :)
Truly nothing!
The views, great views.
The bathroom is really poorly designed, no shower box. The entire space is poorly kept. Very poor breakfast - stale bread, no warm milk, not enough variety. Everything is just poorly served. The host doesn’t speak Portuguese, that makes communication difficult.
Beautiful property with excellent views in a very quiet location surrounded by vineyards. Maarten was a very welcoming host and made us feel at home and even cooked for us on the first night, food and wine were excellent. Free parking on the property.
The secluded location was a big bonus for us, as we prefer walking in nature and enjoying the views, but might be somewhat of a drawback if you want to be in the centre and close to restaurants and all. The bedroom furniture was rather cheap but the views makes up for everything.
Traumhafter Blick in einer sehr schönen Unterkunft. Der Gastgeber Maarten ist super freundlich und man kann sich dort nur wohl fühlen…

Die Lage, hoch über dem Duorotal, ist schlicht und ergreifend „atemberaubend“! Das Frühstück und BBQ ist lecker. Nochmals vielen Dank

The breakfast was excellent, the location was beautiful and the wine was good also. Martin also offered to drive us for something to eat at night,so we could have a drink
It was further out that I thought and you definetly needed a car.
The location/view is absolutely superb. Maarten the host is extremely friendly and very engaging. We had a group BBQ with other guests and it was a magical evening.
The drive to the vineyard is along very thin roads, so not good if you are a nervous driver/passenger. It is safe and not a problem but not good for nervous people.
Excellent view from the room. The room is comfortable and clean. Maarten ( I hope I get the spelling right) is an excellent host. We had dinner together for 2 nights in the restaurants we probably would not know and go. And a wonderful breakfast too.
Nothing. All are good.
The view was amazing. The room lovely and the breakfast great.
Maarten is a fantastic host. Fantastics property, super breakfast, great conversation, outstanding wine
Stunning architectural wonder of a home on top of a mountain overlooking vineyards and the Douro River. Marten is a gracious host with delicious wine and great sense of humor. Truly an “off the beaten path” gem.
The beautiful remote location was a bit of a challenging drive. Marten and his stunning property were worth it!
The view is stunning, the property is great and Maartin is an amazing host.
Die Lage ist Besonders, die Zimmer haben einen Blick auf die Douro.
We arrived at Luyt around 6.30 pm. Marrten welcomed us with his own 16 years old wine... infront of a beautiful view of Duoro river. Everything here is perfect. Breakfast is very delicious. We are so glad to have found you, Marrten. Keep up your great work. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Le lieu est tout simplement super, la vue est magnifique et Martin le propriétaire est une personne très accueillante.
The location is breathtaking and the host is exceptional. Maarten is very accommodating and he made our stay very enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Beautiful establishment has been developed here with this lovely vineyard overlooking the Duro Valley
Some roadworks made us detour one day that was disappointing a bit of time out of our day but other than that the regular road brings you in quickly. Do you need to go slow and follow signs?
The property is beautiful, the view from the room is awesome. Marten is the best host, very kind and knowledgeable, goes beyond and above to make his guests feel welcome.
La vue était magnifique. Le calme total. Nos meilleures nuits de sommeil depuis longtemps. Localisation parfaite pour visiter autour.

Het fantastische uitzicht
Vue extraordinaire Hôte super accueillant
..schöne Unterkunft mit unbezahlbaren Blick über das Dourotal..ein unterhaltsamer Gastgeber und leckerer Wein vom hauseigenem Weinberg..
This view is nothing short of magical. The room and bathroom were very spacious and very clean. The shared living room, outdoor dining, and indoor dining have INCREDIBLE views!
There was absolutely nothing that we did not like!!
Fabulous location and Marttan’s easy going hospitality, also the best vineyard and winery knowledge teacher
Beautiful accommodation with fantastic views of the Douro River landscape directly from the rooms. Excellent breakfast and perfect host.
The house is very clean and cozy, and the view is absolutely top-notch. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. We were warmly welcomed with drinks and a lovely chat in the living room, right in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the magnificent Douro River. Coincidentally, it was the Moon Festival during our stay, and we told the owner about our tradition of having a BBQ with friends and family back home. That evening, we enjoyed a wonderful BBQ dinner together — the food was exceptional, and of course, so were the wines! The next morning, the owner prepared a gorgeous breakfast for us as well. After check-out, one of our tires unfortunately broke on the way to town. We called the owner for help, and he calmly told us to park the car by the road, go ahead with our river cruise, and that he would wait for us at a café afterward. It was about a 30-minute drive for him, and he was so generous to help us. He spent several more hours assisting us — removing the broken tire, driving us to another town to replace it, and then bringing us back to reinstall it. Honestly, what could have been a stressful incident turned into one of the most remarkable moments of our trip. When traveling, it’s not just about the sights, food, or attractions — it’s also about the people you meet along the way. If you’re looking for not only a beautiful place to stay but also genuine connection and friendship, this is a place I highly recommend.
Fantastic views, comfortable beds and great breakfast. Marten made good recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Fun to pick his brain about winemaking.

Annorlunda med mycket vackert läge. Mycket trevligt mottagande av ägaren och vi fick lära oss mycket. Vi kunde dessutom lägga till så vi fick en barbecuemiddag på kvällen ute, så vackert och trevligt att prata med lite andra gäster. Skön säng.
Ingen stor sak men saknade egen uteplats till rummet.
Traumhafte Lage, fantastischer Ausblick auf das Douro Tal - Marten ist ein toller Gastgeber! 👍

Beautiful view, Breakfast, comfy bed. Host lives on site and was friendly. He shared a glass of wine with us upon arrival after our nighttime drive around the curvy roads! Much appreciated. Unless you are used to it, I recommend driving there in daylight. Its a long way from town so dine before arriving. Room has its own fridge.
There is a communal kitchen and lounge area which is a nice way to meet other guests. We happened to have the room that opens onto this area so it could get noisier. Beautiful big picture windows to see the view.

Spectacular view, lovely breakfast , comfortable accommodations and very entertaining host.
Other than the steep drive up to get to the fantastic view, no complaints at all!
La ubicación del Bed and Breakfast inmejorable ! Con unas vistas espectaculares desde el estar y desde la habitación hacia los viñedos y el río Duero . Marteen nos recibió con mucho cariño Nos sentimos como en casa , muy rico desayuno y el vino con el cual nos convidó . Como era mi cumpleaños Marteen nos regaló una botella de su vino para festejar Un detalle muy especial! Sin duda lo recomendamos especialmente para aquellos amantes de la naturaleza y la tranquilidad . La estadía allí entre los viñedos con esas vistas impactantes vale la pena !!
Todo nos gustó
Beautiful house and beautiful bedroom . lots of space. Martin was an excellent host and taught us a lot about winemaking. Highly recommend for a very unique experience in this beautiful wine country with an expert wine maker !
All good
Maarten is a very pleasant person, friendly and a great story teller. He built a beautiful house with an amazing view. You'll love it.
Exceptional view on Douro River, fantastic breakfast. Lots of things can be experience nearby: winetasting, river cruise, cultural trips, hiking
Splendid view! Super nice host!

Si vous voulez en avoir pleins les yeux, c’est ici que vous devez loger ! Une vue à couper le souffle et un calme absolu. Vous pourrez difficilement trouver meilleur accueil que celui de Marteens. C’était vraiment très sympa !
Great owner Martin, great place, great view, delicious wine, tasty breakfast. I can highly recommend this place, you have to come minimum for 2-3 days there, to feel the energy of the place.
Marteen est super accueillant
We loved everything!! The location and views, the friendly host, the port tasting, the vineyard tour…
