My studio flat is situated in the centre of the village of Provesende, Upper Corgo, in the Douro Valley. Which is one of the oldest demarcated and regulated wine regions in the world, Protected Designation of Origin: Port or Porto. (Portuguese fortified wine produced with distilled grape spirits, exclusively in the Douro Valley). It's also a World Heritage Site, for being the landscape most transformed by hand, by man: the socalcos (narrow and irregular terraces, where the vineyards grow). I’ve decorated the studio flat with neutral colours, that have the attribute of making You feel warm and welcome, at Your extended home. I think you will find everything you need, whether you’re staying in (Free Access to the Internet), going out for walks (3 trails, of +/- less of 6km each), or for a stroll through this small and peaceful village that has a bit to offer: -situated at the top of a hill, it offers a unique breath-taking view, “resplendently showcasing the Portugal of yesteryear.” -a baroque Parish Church and a granite Fountain, both from the XVIII century -the granite manors and the various noble houses that attest to the power and wealth of the region. - a wood-fired oven bakery, where you can buy freshly baked bread every morning (before 10 am), like the old days, running since 1940.
Nice studio apartment in a very lovely little village. We did a great walk up to a viewpoint, and had a wonderful dinner in the village. The apartment was spacious and served us well!
Einfache, sehr saubere und gut ausgestattete Unterkunft. Parkplätze etwas schwierig, weil die Straße sehr eng ist. Keine Fenster, nur eine Tür zur Straße. Schöner Ort mit toller Umgebung! Sehr zufrieden! Aber ein bisschen zu teuer.
Room was comfortable with all the basics, no frills. One door is only light source but has no privacy from the street. Room was quite and nice reprieve from heat wave they were having when I stayed. Town is delightful and charming very friendly. A good nights rest.
Don’t miss out on having a meal at Papas Zaide, famous for its Roasted Pork Shank, but only by booking.
