Casa do Vale Verde

About this property

Casa do Vale Verde is a contemporary three-bedroom retreat tucked into the forested slopes of the Douro Valley, near the town of Paços de Gaiolo. Designed for those who crave simplicity with style, this architecturally distinctive home brings together clean lines, organic textures and pared-back elegance. Inside, pale timber walls and a sunken lounge create a calm, airy space that frames valley views like a living canvas. The open-plan kitchen and dining area invite slow mornings and easy shared meals, while each of the three bedrooms offers warm, restful comfort, including a master with its own en-suite.

Step outside and you'll find a private pool surrounded by sculpted lawns, a wood-clad sauna cabin, and thoughtfully landscaped grounds that blend into the surrounding forest. Whether you're soaking up sunshine, dipping into the cool water, or unwinding after a hike with a sauna session, Casa do Vale Verde offers a refined but relaxed base for exploring one of Portugal’s most scenic wine regions.

Casa do Vale Verde sits in a peaceful hillside setting just two kilometres from the small village of Fandinhães and around thirteen kilometres from Cinfães, a charming riverside town on the southern edge of the Douro Valley. This region, known for its dramatic landscapes, terraced vineyards and rich winemaking heritage, offers a quieter, more authentic side of northern Portugal. The villa is perfectly positioned for scenic drives through the valley, visits to local quintas (wine estates), and leisurely walks along forested trails.

You’ll find traditional eateries and everyday essentials nearby, while the Douro River and its panoramic viewpoints are within easy reach. Day trips to Porto or river cruises are also options for those who want to explore further afield, but the real beauty lies in the unhurried pace and natural surroundings that define the experience.
