This charming villa is an authentic Douro Valley family house that dates back to three generations of its owners' family line. The villa's lounge was once used as the village's school where the local children gathered to learn, while its lower floor was used as a cellar where wine was produced and stored. Guests may still enjoy the cellar space which has been converted into a comfortable leisure area.
