Monthly Rentals in Marco de Canaveses

The home is beautiful and so cozy. It had everything we needed - space for the 3 of us to spread out and recharge in the middle of our vacation. The weather was cool and rainy while we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the outside as much but made dinner one evening and enjoyed the cozy fireplace. The hostess who checked us in was very responsive and super kind even giving us firewood up at the restaurant (which you should definitely plan to visit during your stay). The roads to the home are an adventure. We chose this location as it is between Porto and the heart of the Douro valley which allowed us to both get into the city to watch our son play soccer one evening and also allowed us to visit wineries another day.

We were received in an exceptional way, always with great attention and willingness to help us, from the time of arrival until the day of departure. We feel truly welcome. No doubt when we return, this will be our choice again. Thank you very much, José and family, for all the hospitality and sympathy!

Where do I even start?! Staying at Maria's Casa do Rio felt like a magical home away from home. Maria and her sweet dogs gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and gave us a beautiful tour of the property with an overview of its history that you should not miss. She was very accommodating to our check-in time and sensitive to our plans during our stay, which were not many. Since we didn't have much planned for our spur-of-the-moment visit, we were delighted when Maria gave us many suggestions of activities on our own as well as ones with her such as a tour around the area, canoeing, hiking, yoga class, massage, cooking together and so much more. The charm and kind embrace by Maria was otherworldly and an experience in itself that we won't ever forget. If you have any reservations on booking your stay here, you shouldn't because you will not regret a single second at Casa do Rio. Every moment during our stay here is one we will treasure, and we'll be back to visit Maria and her Casa.

Mr. Peter welcomes his visitors in person and with open arms. The space (a farm) is wonderful, quiet and with plenty of privacy. The room has everything you need including a small kitchen, the bathroom was very clean on arrival. A good pool to enjoy. About a 5-minute walk away is a cafe with a bakery a restaurant and a small playground that was recently opened. Walking a little further towards the Church of Abragão is a pharmacy and a mini-market, the church is also worth a visit.
