"We had a wonderful stay! "We had a wonderful stay! It is truly one of the most stunning environments we have ever visited. It’s like an imaginary world of beauty and countryside. The home itself was gorgeous with all the amenities one could ask for. The concierge service and housekeeping staff were also amazing, meeting every need and request we had. Claudia and Helena were wonderful hosts - they were so gracious to us, and the meals they prepared were stunning. We had a wonderful experience with Pedro. He was so attentive to our desires and needs of our trip and showed our family great care and concern. He was wonderful, professional, and gracious. The services overall were extraordinary, as were the conditions of the home itself. It was a glorious family vacation that we hope we are lucky enough to repeat in the future." Stephenson Family, Wayland, MA"

"A unique, wonderful and charming place! A unique, wonderful and charming place with a breathtaking view over the Douro vineyards, located in a super quiet and peaceful area. To complement the beauty of this place […] we had an excellent service provided by D. Cláudia and D. Helena throughout our stay - attentive and very helpful people who filled our mornings with beautiful breakfasts and a few little treats in between. I highly recommend this place to spend a family weekend. I also thank the entire Tripwix team for managing and guiding our program. Bruno, Esposende, PT"

"Unforgettable Experience! Best trip we’ve been on in a long time!  Very impressive, we are very grateful for your help.  So looking forward to our next Tripwix adventure. Michael Goldberg, USA"

"A million thank yous for a job well done. You promised to make our time at in Douro unforgettable. My friends, you more than succeeded. The experience was extraordinary, magical and, in many ways, life changing. There is nothing quite like the Douro Valley, its solitude and beauty, its pristine river and rolling vineyards. All of it goes down like a fine wine. The villa, cuisine, and service were all SUBLIME. And our hosts? We loved them! Nuno and his family are very special. They love their country and clearly enjoy sharing the slice of heaven they’ve created along the Douro. Our day at this Quinto, especially the wining and dining, was equally memorable. And the views...OMG!!!! I am begging you not to tell anyone else about any of this. I’m a progressive liberal and believe in the social contract of sharing BUT...do we have to? Can’t we just keep all this to ourselves? Please. Anyway, I think you get the picture. It was very difficult to leave; especially since I’m afraid of heights and found the access road harrowing. No hyperbole. And so from my entire family, a million thank yous for a job well done. Alan Greenberg, New York, NY."

"The house was welcoming, comfortable and clean! "This property is unique and special - located directly on the Douro River with incredible views. The house was welcoming, comfortable and clean. The food cooked for us was always in abundance and delicious. The staff looked after all our needs very well and kindly. Pedro as our concierge was incredibly valuable! He helped us with every aspect of our stay – securing boat moorings, confirming reservations, acting as our translator and helping above and beyond duty in an emergency that required hospitalization. He checked in with us daily, sometimes more than once to see if there was anything he was able to help plan and to ensure we were always comfortable. Our stay at the villa would not have been as wonderful, memorable and enjoyable without the staffing and Pedro. Thank you!" Miranda Family, England, UK"

"What a lovely experience! 5 stars! Great food, great people, great location and amazing organization. Our concierge, Pedro was extremely nice, zealous and always available. We really appreciate it. What a lovely experience! Frischknecht Family, Geneva, Switzerland"

""This villa was great for our family visiting from California! "This villa was great for our family visiting from California! We were able to enjoy all the services the team provided and have a pool day with our family and friends! We 100% will be returning the next time we are in Portugal! The Tripwix team went above and beyond for our whole experience! The Douro Ambassador, Pedro, was always willing to help us with anything we needed and had great communication skills. Thank you!" Bigelow Family from California, USA"

"t was a great experience! "This was one of the nicest properties we have stayed in, as the setting in Rio Douro was unmatched! Our family had an amazing experience in Porto and Douro. The property and its location are outstanding. Pedro, our ambassador, was always available and very knowledgeable about the region. He was always ready to help us plan our stay, making sure we were having a good time and organizing activities or transportation. Pedro has an amazing attitude! The entire house staff and the food they prepared were wonderful as well. It was a great experience!" Salter-Cid Family from San Diego, CA, USA"

"Thanks to the Tripwix team for this memorable experience!" "The house exceeded all expectations! I can assure you that the photographs on the Tripwix website do not do it justice. Without exaggeration, the setting is heavenly. The house overlooks the river and has picturesque architecture, in perfect harmony with the atmosphere of the vineyards, olive trees and nature. You can swim in the river, observe the vineyards and leafy trees, watch the sun and moonlight reflect on the waters of the Douro, all in an exclusive location with complete privacy. The swimming pool is beautiful, covered in the colours of the Douro. The rooms and common areas are very comfortable and clean, in a cosy atmosphere worthy of the best and most traditional hotel experiences. Finally, the most important thing: the hospitality. Pedro is very attentive and always available to recommend and schedule experiences. He welcomed us with great warmth and kindness - He wouldn't even let us carry our bags! He gave us great recommendations for restaurants, tours and transport. Our thanks to the Tripwix team for this memorable experience!" Moita Family from São Paulo, Brazil"
