A highlight of our trip to Portugal~
After messaging with Francisco as we planned our visit, upon meeting him and his lovely wife, Maria Jorge, at the house, I asked him if I could give him a hug. That should tell you a lot. My husband, college age daughter and I stayed 3 nights, including New Years', when we sat in front of the fireplace with wine, cheese and bread that Francisco had someone deliver! We felt like we were welcomed into the home of old friends. Francisco showed us all the features of the house and property, shared its history, and let us know they were always available if we needed anything. We can only imagine that it is even more inviting on warm, sunny days. It was spacious, comfortable, clean and definitely gives you "a sense of place." The kitchen is totally complete with everything you need, Francisco made sure we had enough firewood and with the orange trees, we had fresh OJ every morning :) It was the perfect location for us to explore the amazing wines of the Douro Valley and also a quick walk into town. We couldn't have been happier and felt very fortunate to have met Francisco and Maria Jorge. Just sorry we didn't have the chance to say good bye in person! It was a truly memorable stay~
