Holiday rentals in Raiva

Amazing accommodation! It feels like you are in a museum with antiques, but with all of this beauty you can live. In real life everything looks exactly as on the photo. Despite this historic style, the renovations are all new. Cleanliness at the highest level! There is everything you need for your stay down to the smallest detail - dishes, coffee machine, bathroom supplies. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great stay in such an unique location! Host was fantastic in terms of communication.. a memory I’ll cherish

We would like to thank Marisa and Rui for this very special experience! Thank you so much for all the kindness, the attention and the great suggestions of places to visit. The house and the entire space are simply charming with a decoration of extreme good taste, thoughtfully designed with attention to every detail. We were delighted with the jacuzzi and, of course, with the outdoor space, which provided us with moments of true relaxation in the middle of nature. We will definitely be back! ❤️

We so enjoyed our stay! The house is amazing. Historic and cozy charm with modern amenities. We had so much fun with the soccer field, the pool, the pool table, hammock, and exploring the grounds. We picked lemons off the tree and made lemonade and a lemon dessert! We soo enjoyed meals at the big outdoor tables- wonderful to accommodate our large group of 7. The daily delivery of fresh bread is a treat!! We enjoyed walking into town and visiting the butcher, bakery, fish market and such. It’s a 25-minute walk through lovely hills, though there is not a sidewalk and the traffic was difficult to navigate at times, but we also drove to town. Sitting outside with morning coffee overlooking the valley was one of my favorite parts! My daughter and fiancé stayed in the detached cottage and found it to be so cozy and comfortable. Lastly, Isabel was very accommodating with some last minute changes, which I really appreciated. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Mario and Cila’s home was one of the most beautiful I have stayed out. The house was an old olive oil mill, converted into a modern paradise. They thoughtfully incorporated the property’s history into the renovation. The home is beautiful but the grounds are next level! There is a running stream running along side and under the house with lush grounds and a wonderful pool. There is also a walking path to a little park with a waterfall! Super peaceful property. If you are looking for a getaway, look no further! Mario and Cila are super kind, gracious hosts! They welcomed us themselves and proactively provided tips and recommendations. Super appreciative of their hospitality.

Thank you from all of us to Michel and Jacqueline for being such wonderful hosts. We organised a stay at their Quinta for my mum's 70th birthday and it did not disappoint. The home itself was clean, spacious and cool with plenty of room for us all. The outside space was simply stunning - far-ranging views across the valley, lots of walks through pretty, fruiting archways and up to the forest. A natural pool near the top of the hill so you can swim whilst taking in the views. We were able to pick herbs from their garden for cooking and we made fresh lemonade and orange juice from their fruit trees. I can't recommend this place enough. Jacqueline also helped arrange a private boat tour down the Douro river where we visited the Lovers Island and swam in a waterfall. And when we arrived back at the riverbank a fabulous picnic buffet with a cake was waiting for us which brought my mum to tears (in a good way!). All run by locals and for a very good price. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Such a peaceful and clean house in a very serene area. We loved the view of the river! The welcome wine and snacks the host left were a thoughtful treat. The place is located about 15-20 min drive to restaurants and cafes but the host left a booklet with great recommendations that we tried. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’d definitely stay here again!

There should be a rating of “excellent” as “great” doesn’t do this place and its host justice. Jeff is responsive and proactive. He opened the doors for our family to stay & for us to host a family reunion. The place is indescribable. Have you been to Sintra? You will find the same myst and mystique throughout the property. I was in awe of the lights illuminating the way to the most stunning property surrounded by a creek. You’re immersed in a conclave of the 🇵🇹 history. The house if carefully renovated and it had all amenities you could ask for (and more). Everything was indeed curated to supply the most incredible experience. It was mesmerising. Thank you Jeff & Nídia. We won’t forget your home you trusted us with ❤️
