If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the Douro Valley, this is your chance to do it from an extraordinary home base.

Just one hour east of Porto, Casa Belo Horizonte—a restored 1930s gem—blends modern comfort with traditional Portuguese charm.

The Villa

Perched above the Douro River, the villa is refined yet relaxed: the kind of place that makes you exhale, perhaps even gasp, the moment you arrive.

Ideally located at the crossroads of the Vinho Verde and Port wine regions, Casa Belo Horizonte offers the best of both worlds.

Inside, the home features four bedrooms, two with king beds and two with queen beds, two and a half bathrooms, a dining room for eight, a light-filled living room, and a cozy breakfast nook. A dedicated office and small library provide space to read, write, or work in peace, while the inviting TV den is perfect for unwinding with a movie after a day of exploring.

The villa’s terraced gardens—layered with olives, citrus, vines, and shifting seasonal color—create serene pockets of shade and unforgettable views. An ever-changing tapestry of fruit trees and garden beds means something is always growing, ripening, or ready to be picked, bringing the flavors of the Douro right to your doorstep.
