Monthly Rentals in Mesão Frio

Can’t recommend enough!

A wonderful place to relax in the Douro Valley! The views are stunning, and the surroundings are peaceful and quiet. The apartment is clean and cozy. The host was welcoming and attentive. He left a lovely welcome package with food and drinks, which was a very nice touch. The kitchen is well equipped, and there’s a convenient outdoor grill where we enjoyed making dinner with a view of the valley. The pool is large and fits perfectly into the relaxing atmosphere. Photos don’t fully capture the beauty and charm of this place — it’s even better in person. We’d love to come back!

We had a lovely stay at Terrus Winery. The cottage was comfortable and well-appointed with gorgeous views from nearly every window and a spectacular outlook over the Duoro River from the balcony. Being able to wander to a seat in the vineyard with drinks and nibbles to watch the sun go down was a highlight. Maria was a charming host, very helpful and thoughtful. We really enjoyed learning the history of the winery and see seeing its operations. It was peaceful beautiful; real food for the soul. We certainly hope to return some day.

After 3 days in Porto, on a whim we decided to spend a night in the Duoro Valley after many recommendations. We lucked out finding this beautiful Quinta for a one night stay and are so glad we did. It’s family run and they are very helpful and involved. It was cherry and loquat season when we arrived so we were able to pick straight from the tree and enjoy next to the pool along with a glass of wine and port that they make on the estate. The view is spectacular and the hospitality is outstanding. We highly recommend the wine tasting/tour and don’t miss the bread van every morning at 9:30 (you will know by the continuous horn at the gates) with fresh local bread and pastries you eat while overlooking the valley. Can’t wait to come back!
