The breakfast each morning was excellent. The hosts were friendly, conversational, and helpful with suggestions for activities. We stayed outside of Porto on purpose (about 20-25 minutes), so you would need a car. It provided a great place from which to do various day trips.

A warm welcome from the host who is running the place as a family business, very comfortable and clean room, all equipment necessary available, little attentions such as free coffee/sweets, and excellent breakfast. Highly recommended!

The host informed us that the window above the room door would be blackened. The room has a slightly musty air.

We were welcomed by the wonderful host couple, who made us feel at home from the first moment. They always had a smile, great advice for things to see, and allowed us to enjoy their old beautifully renovated fruit farm house at our leisure, including games, musical instruments and a child playcorner. The breakfast was legendary, with personalised special treats prepared by the host lady for each of us, different each morning. Many fruits were from their own gardens, and the guests could enjoy left-over croissants and similar throughout the day, together with free tea and espresso. Our room was small but beautiful, with high ceilings, a great air conditioning system and all amenities , including the best beach towels to use at the nice infinity swimming pool, with views over the green mountains. We will gladly visit again.

Location was perfect for a getaway from a busy Porto streets, place to relax and unwind. Property has a lovely pool. Staff is amazing, ready to help with locations and places to visit nearby. Breakfast was exceptional, large selection of tasty foods. We enjoyed every day staying at Casa de Valcova and we are grateful for the hosts to have us! Thank you!

The accommodation was to a high standard nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was outstanding set us up for the day. They gave us helpful advice on where to go and best way to get there. Would highly recommend Casa de Valcova.

Amazing accomodation with a very nice and welcoming host. The breakfast was unique with lots of selfmade jams and cakes. We recommend everyone to stay at this place.

There was nothing to dislike. It is perfect for those wanting a relaxing break away from high tourist traffic immersed in true Portuguese culture. A car hire may have been a practical choice based on location.

The property was a stunning complex of traditionally renovated buildings including its own church . It was clean and beautifully maintained. The room leading out to a private roof top terrace was exquisite.

Location is great if you have a car

The country side is amazing, the owners were brilliant, very helpful and generous. Several acres of blueberries, and they gave us a big carton of them when we left, nothing was to much trouble😀

Our trip to Portugal included a stay at Casa de Valcova. The owners Illidio and Asuncion have been the best hosts we have ever encountered in all our European trips. Their warmth and friendliness always made us feel at home. Their restoration of a 300 year old stone farm house was outstanding! The decor with antiques and modern facilities is a great combination. Breakfast with homemade marmalade and fresh baked pastries was delicious. We can't wait to go back!!!
