Villa Spa Douro - Quinta das Gémeas

My wife and I, along with 5 other friends, stayed here for 3 days. It was an AMAZING place to stay. The Air B&B hosts were extremely nice!! This place could fit 14 people comfortably. Awesome views of the Duoro River as you are literally backed right up to the river. Cruise ships, boats, and jet skis pass the house multiple times per hour, which we enjoyed. Such a cool pool deck with an immaculate pool, outdoor bar, and plenty of seating/lounging for all throughout the day. Large family room to entertain and a large dining room table to accommodate many guests. Awesome indoor spa with a steam room and sauna as well. The hosts ordered authentic Portuguese cuisine for us for dinner and had it ready to eat upon arrival. The only "knock" I'd have on the place was the hosts just gave us GPS coordinates to find the place. Google Maps took us to the wrong side of the river and we had to backtrack 30 min. each way to arrive at our destination. We also had a late flight so we were searching for the place around 11 PM. Other than that, we had an amazing time!!!

This very modern villa, situated on the Douro River, was a mixed bag. While the view from the house was phenomenal, this place was exceedingly difficult to find(we had to call the owner twice for help finding the house; we spent an hour trying to find the house after dark on another occasion). The address did not register on either of the two GPSs we had, not Google maps. The house is located down a precipitously steep set of very narrow roads that nearly gave us heart attacks. We rented an automatic car, in addition to the manual car we arrived in because driving a manual car wasn’t tenable. The house is extremely isolated. We felt like hostages in the house, going out only twice in a week to visit Porto (58-60 kilometers from this house!) to shop for groceries and to eat at a restaurant a half hour away. This is not the kind of place that you leave for dinner and drinks and return 3 hours later. Two of the five of us actually thought about leaving to get a place in the city of Porto. Another huge problem was the absence of instructions about using appliances, lights, TVs, grill, etc. On the plus side, we had access to some of the organic produce in the garden. I believe that the owner and booking agent should have more clearly disclosed the geographic and logistical challenges of this place. We should have done more research - we couldn’t believe how far this place was from the city of Porto. Sorry to be so wordy, but I wish I had been able to read a review like this. All five of us agreed that this wasn’t a good vacation choice

Great place .what a view.

Um verdadeiro paraíso em Portugal! Perfeito para férias em família, com imensas atividades disponíveis, como jacuzzi, sauna, piscina, etc. E a vista incrível para o rio Douro é de tirar o fôlego! Recomendo vivamente

Si vous cherchez un endroit tranquille, une villa magnifique et une vue inoubliable, vous êtes au bon endroit. Si je voulais pinailler et en bonne suissesse, je dirai qu’il manque un caquelon et un réchaud à fondue 😆

Local excelente para carregar baterias com família e amigos. Qualidade e charme. O paraíso na terra...

Deslumbrante🥹☺️😻🙌🤩🥂🎊🎉🔝
