Tapada De Sao Domingos

Lloc tranquil amb bones vistes. Ben ubicat. S’agraeix que hi hagi piscina.

Els llits son petits.

This is a 10 out of 10 house. The pool is special filled with water from a natural source. No chemicals here. In the surroundings you ka pick up fruits and herbs. No trafic noise. The host Sebastiao is very easy to commuinicate with, and very helpfull. From the house you can see the river of Porto. 20 minutes from the town of Porto in a car, but it is also very easy to reach Porto with the bus 100 meters from the house. My daughter thinks this is the best holiday house we ever have rentet. I agree. Thanks to Sebastiao. We give 10 out of 10 for the house and the host. Louisa & Steen & family.

Nothing. as in N O T H I N G

Alles. Top gastheer! Mooi gelegen huis met prachtig privé zwembad met zicht op de Douro en het tegenoverliggende dorp.

Niets

Die phantastische Lage mit Blick auf den Duoro in Kombination mit dem so freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Gastgeber Sebastiao ist zu 100% weiter zu empfehlen.

gar nichts

Locatie, geweldige communicatie, service met eigenaar

Niets

Een prachtige en stijlvolle accommodatie waar werkelijk aan alles is gedacht. De gastvrijheid van de eigenaar was uitzonderlijk: ontzettend vriendelijk, attent en altijd bereid om te helpen. We hebben enorm genoten van de rust, het mooie zwembad en de perfecte ligging om de omgeving te ontdekken. Een onvergetelijk verblijf dat we zonder twijfel aanraden.

Bardzo zadbana posesja w odległości 30 minut jazdy od Porto. Uber na 10-15€, autobus spod bramy. Swietna baza wypadowa do zwiedzania Douro. Sebastiao jest, gdy tego trzeba i we wszystkim pomaga. Basen krystaliczny, bezchlorowy. Bardzo polecam!

Huset, poolen og den omkringliggende park var helt i top. Der var smukt og rent

Det var lidt svært at gå tur langs hovedvejen med børn, da der ikke var specielt afmærket til gående

La atencion y despues todo era perfecto

Nada

Het huis is helemaal af. Zeer comfortabel, mooie moderne inrichting, goede bedden en slaapkamers. We werden zeer persoonlijk en vriendelijk ontvangen door Sebastian , de eigenaar. Er was zelfs een welkomstpakket met o.a. vers brood en vers fruit. Heel mooi Zwembad en prachtig terrein waar het huis op ligt

We misten handrelingen bij de trappen

Sebastiao was an outstanding host from start to finish. He was very friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure had everything we needed throughout our stay. The house and grounds were absolutely amazing, even better than we expected, and clearly well maintained. The location was perfect, close to Porto and everything we wanted to see, which made getting around easy and convenient. Overall, it was a great experience and we are looking forward to staying here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay and can't think of anything that could have been better.

Einfach alles hat uns gefallen, ganz lieben Dank an unseren Gastgeber Sebastian

Rent, velholdt, med en fantastisk udsigt ud over natur og duoro floden. Vores vært var super venlig og hjælpsom, både med seværdigheder og indkøb.

Jeg kan ikke pege på en enkelt ting, da alt faktisk var rigtig rigtig godt

Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Sebastião our host could not have done more for us. The pool was absolutely amazing and we loved sitting out on the terrace in the evening and enjoyed a couple of BBQs as well. The property feels very private. The property is very handily located for so many excursions. We rented a car (and so handy to have EV charging on site!) but there is a bus stop at the bottom of the drive to the property. We took a lovely trip to the beach (on Sebastião’s recommendation) and it was only 25 minutes drive away. A fantastic spot for a relaxing break!

Everything was wonderful. The pool has fresh spring water which makes it amazing to swim in, but it is not heated. When we come next we will bring wet suits for our young children as they got a little cold some days in the pool when the sun wasn’t shining (although fine for adults!)

De ligging, het uitzicht is fantastisch!

-

Extremely well equipped property, comfortable for all and the pool area and BBQ is fantastic. The real gem is Sebastião, extremely helpful and accommodating before arrival, very friendly, welcoming and generous during stay and also extremely responsive

The view from the pool was amazing and the rooms were 5 star. Every detail was thought of from Towels to utensils. Sebastião was an amazing host and really made it feel like a home away from home.

Honestly Nothing

Beautiful setting and property. Extremely friendly and helpful host - nothing was too much to ask. Close to Porto, but the surrounding area is worth exploring with a beautiful beach close by.

Nothing.

Villa looked lovely upon arrival Some issues with cleanliness under the twin beds and someone’s beard trimmings on the bathroom sink.

A circa 20 acre fire began to engulf the forest surrounding the villa after 24-48 hours of our arrival, inhaling the smoke made us all so unwell that we had to leave. My 7 year old was really struggling. The roads surrounding the villa were closing rapidly so we packed up our things and left 2 days early. Appreciating that the fire wasn’t the host’s fault but our issues were: - the forest surrounding our villa was scorched black from prior recent fires, there is no mention of this risk on the advertisement - we were also told by a local that the villa is situated in one of the oldest, largest, driest forests in northern Portugal, so is prone to fires, no prior risk flag on advert - our host was insistent throughout that there was no risk, everything was beautiful and didn’t take our concerns seriously, which was alarming in the circumstances were people nearby were being evacuated and warning alarms were sounding - when the villa became totally uninhabitable due to the smog, and inaccessible due to road closures, I asked for a refund of part of our stay and we were offered a nominal amount of 170 euros. The fact that this villa is situated in a high risk fire area should be disclosed on the advert.

We had a perfect stay here. The accommodation and swimming pool were beautiful and the host was so welcoming. Porto was easy to get to by both car and bus, although we'd recommend having a hire car for this location

We loved the place and the family who received us. Thanks for the nice welcome and well care all along our trip. Sara, Simao, Sebastiao, Muito OBRIGADO

The pool was a very good size. Fed by a clean spring without the chemicals. The terrace has a fantastic view across the Douro Valley. An old farm building lovingly restored with a clean modern interior. Even the two en-suite showers had great views.

Nothing

Best host I ever had, he welcomed us and continuously tried to give us the best experience possible. Infinity pool was also amazing! And beautiful view!

20-30 min by car to Porto centre, however taxi's are very cheap around Porto.

The private swimming pool with source water, very calm, nice view over the Duoro river and its banks. Well situated to visit Porto and the North of Portugal.

A car is needed for everything.

We had a great stay at the Tapada. The property is truly beautiful and our host Sebastiâo was very friendly and helpful... When it got quite hot outside and our airco malfunctioned he did his very best and got it fixed right away, saving the day!

Great house, great host, great location. We are already looking forward to coming back!

The four villas are lovely and in a special location.

Absolutely stunning villa, the outside especially is brilliant with the pool

Couldn’t fault the villa

we loved peace and ease of access to Porto. Sebastian was amazing! so friendly and helpful.

everything was fantastic!

Superb host. Spectacular location. Very recommended

Very nice host. Gave good information about the local area

The stay was absolutely fantastic. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful orchards and amazing views, and it is located very close to Porto (25 min drive or so). The villas are also very nice - they have a great private pool, and the interior have everything you need (i.e., good kitchen and appliances, AC, nice bathrooms). The host Sebastião was also an added bonus - he was so helpful and truly does want to make the guests’ stay as nice as possible. Would definitely recommend and if we make our way back to Porto we will be staying there

We were warmly greeted by the owner Sebastiáo. He gave us a tour of the entire property, and even drove us around the village identifying all the important places. He also took us grocery shopping and acted as our guide and translator. This property and the host are simply fantastic. Sebastiáo also made recommendations and made dinner reservations for us. My wife celebrated her birthday during our stay. Sebastiáo brought her a BD cake. Wow!! This is simply the best villa with the best host. If I could, I would give this stay at Tapada de Sao Domingos 12 stars out of 10. Michel and Lynn

Nothing. This place is perfect.

Our villa was on a beautiful estate near the Douro river. Having breakfast in the morning with views on the hills and river was a wonderful start of the day. The property was quite large and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect as we could combine visits to Porto city with a comfortable and relaxing stay in the middle of beautiful nature. Our host Sebastiao welcomed us personally and even give us a quick tour in the area to show is the local bakery, super market and restaurants. He was available at all times for other tips and support.

From the time we arrived, the host was very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make are stay the best they could.very good hosting.

N/A

Location was superb. Quite and peaceful- close to Porto. Views great.

Be careful - tight driveway entrance to the property.

Owner was extremely helpful. Very tranquil location, gorgeous view and pool. Everything we needed in the house.

Location worked fine for us, we went on day trips and got bus into Porto and taxi home. No walkable shops or restaurants from the house but lots of peace and great place for kids to play ball games and have fun.

The property was in the grounds of a very scenic, quiet location of four properties. The grounds and gardens were all very well maintained.

Everything was taken care of as soon as I booked the housing. The house was very clean and well appointed. The property was very big and there were a lot of things to explore. And the host was/is the most kind person I've ever met. He took care of EVERYTHING. I even got a cake for my birthday. Thank you for this special birthday trip.

There is nothing negative to say. Everything was awesome!

Our stay at Tapada De Sao Domingos was amazing! We were a group of 20 so had rented three villas for three nights, and it was perfect. The views, amenities, location from Porto and most importantly - the phenomenal host! Sebastiao was super responsive before and during our stay - helping us with groceries, taxis, the local areas and any other questions we had. I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking to explore Porto and the surrounding Duoro Valley, it was a fantastic base and we all hope to come back again soon!

The only issue we had was the Wifi not working. Sebastiao came back a few times to help fix it but it didn't seem to hold up.

The location was perfect. We wanted to stay outside of town and the villa was beautiful with a great view. Spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen and a host that was so welcoming and helpful. We went in March so the pool was chilly but we used it anyways! In spite of arriving hours earlier than planned, Sebastião handled it in stride and took us a on a tour of the local area and got us our welcome basket of fruit and other local food items. He answered our many questions that cropped up during the week. We had an issue with the smoke detector the first evening that Sebastião fixed promptly (he’s just up the hill!) And we made freshly squeezed orange juice from the trees on the property everyday!

A couple of extra rolls of toilet paper! (Haha) Not sure if it’s possible or even practical - but since we were there between cold and hot weather, it would have been nice to have had screens in windows/doors so we could open them up to let fresh air in without fear of something flying/walking in.

beautiful villa 20 minutes drive from Porto, hospitable owner, ready to help every minute. very clean, nice interior, outdoor pool with a great view

it was a bit cold but that's ok for january in portugal. the house is heated by air conditioners

Pictures don't do this property justice. Property is beautiful and modern. Very close to city of Porto but just far enough away to offer a peaceful river front location. Host is very helpful and went out of his way to show us were the grocery store was and even booked us dinner reservations at a local restaurant so we could celebrate my husband's birthday when we arrived. He arranged for a cab into the city and back for us and had lots of suggestions of what to check out in the area. Would highly recommend and will be back ourselves.

Absolutely nothing was amiss

Lovely villa, good position with kind and thoughtful host.

We had to leave early for family reasons.

The location is close to Porto and other tourist locations but quiet, serene and has lovely views. You can take a local bus to Porto from the property gates or the host will organise a taxi if you don’t want to drive or park in Porto itself. The pool is natural water and in a lovely setting. Each house has a different viewpoint and benefits from the sun at different times of the day so your host could advise the most appropriate property. The water was refreshing but perfect for swimming in late September. There are local amenities including a bakery, restaurant and supermarket within a short drive. The bakery has croissants, and a cafe with crepes and pizza options. We also found an excellent bakery in Lever on the opposite side of the dam next to the cemetery. The supermarket has an excellent fish and meat counter. The river road is pretty to drive and has accessible swimming beaches on both sides of the Douro as another swimming alternative. The host is exuberant and on hand, checking in regularly as needed and providing local knowledge and sightseeing advice. The washing machine was useful although drying clothes may be more difficult out of season. Washing the towels mid week was helpful. Swim towels were provided. There was one insect plug-in charger; on reflection I would bring additional ones. The beds were very comfortable. We were grateful for the hospitality basket including bread, milk, fruit and homemade jam. It would be helpful to include butter.

It was difficult to turn into the property; the automatic gates are slow to open and the entrance narrow. The local traffic is light and confidence increases over the stay. Once checked in you have your own key fob. We self catered most nights. It would be helpful to have an oven glove, apron and a few ,sharper knives. It was difficult to BBQ without implements but the local sardines are worth persisting with it! All the manuals are available for the appliances but we struggled to access the TV. It is very difficult to buy fresh milk, UHT options seem the local preference.

We had a wonderful stay here in September. Sebastiao our host was incredible helpful, giving a quick introduction to the area, and then leaving us to get on with our holiday - but with help available should we need it. The location is great, easy to get into Porto and also quick to get onto the motorway to visit other places around (V Novo de Gaia, Braga, Aviero, the Douro Valley). The villa itself was clean and has everything you might need. The pool, terrace and view over the river are a delight.

Nearest supermarket is ok for essentials but we found a better one on the outskirts of Espinho. There are also a number of convenient LIDLs in town. Our guide books suggested that parking in Porto is tricky and expensive, but we found a number of reasonably priced car parks centrally which were expensive for Porto, but reasonable compared to parking back home. Parking at Porto Campanha station for example has a max fee of 10 Euros.

it was spacious, clean, had everything we needed
