About this property
Where the Douro Valley opens into rolling countryside and vineyard-covered hills, Casa Ovilo offers a considered mix of clean-lined design and rural authenticity. Located on the edge of a traditional village in Baião, the villa accommodates up to eight adults and two children, with open-plan interiors and panoramic windows that frame the peaceful, ever-changing views.
Outdoors, the focus is on relaxed social living. A saltwater heated pool, sunken firepit lounge, and jacuzzi provide space to unwind, while a covered dining terrace and barbecue make outdoor meals easy and inviting. The grounds are generous and thoughtfully arranged, blending open lawn with quiet corners and valley outlooks.
Inside, the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together, making it easy to connect throughout the day. Finishes balance comfort with clean aesthetics, and the sense of space is enhanced by natural light and uninterrupted garden views.
Set just an hour from Porto, this is a smart base for exploring the Douro’s wine estates, river cruises, walking trails, and traditional towns - or simply slowing down in a quiet, well-designed home.
Casa Ovilo is located in the municipality of Baião, in northern Portugal’s Douro region. The setting blends wooded hills, vineyards and countryside charm - ideal for walks, local nature, and discovering the heritage of a genuine rural community. Residents and visitors know Baião for its traditional gastronomy, regional wines and relaxed pace of life.
While the villa offers a peaceful base far from tourist bustle, a car is strongly recommended to explore the surrounding area comfortably - both for accessing nearby villages and for reaching wider Douro attractions. From Baião you can still plan scenic drives or longer excursions to enjoy vineyards, river cruises, historic towns and more of the valley’s highlights.
