Villa 321 Typical Primary School into Luxury Villa
Gouvães do Douro - Villa
Accommodation
Description
Accommodation
The careful and detailed renovation of a former typical Portuguese primary school has turned an old ruin into a luxury villa. The original construction (most of which was kept and improved) dates back to the Estado Novo - the corporatist authoritarian regime installed in Portugal in 1933 against the democratic and unstable First Republic. The regime was later developed by António de Oliveira Salazar, ruler of Portugal from 1932 to 1968, when he fell ill and was replaced by Marcelo Caetano. Most of the public buildings built during the regime are still admired nowadays, including the primary schools. Tastefully furnished to the highest standards, incorporating a few restored master pieces of furniture from the original building, this property is undoubtedly a unique place to stay, surrounded by unspoiled nature and remarkable views. Guests will be pampered by local staff composed of a maid and cook who take care of the catering and cleaning of the house. Breakfast, lunch and/or dinner are available at an extra cost. The food was tasted by us and is purely excellent! This villa is a child friendly property making it suitable for families seeking an unforgettable holiday in one of Portugal's most sought after destination.

We've fallen in love with Villa 321 and this area of the Douro Valley. Carla is simply amazing, all her recommendations were superb and we really appreciated her organising our fantastic day out to Quintas, museums, a bakery and a boat trip. Rui our guide was friendly, attentive and good-humoured. We've enjoyed a couple of meals at VeloDouro in Pinhao and highly recommend it. Food is incredible and staff so friendly. In fact, everyone we have met has welcomed us warmly and shown us such kindness. We don't want to leave!

What a beautiful location with stunning views and a gorgeous villa that has everything you need to chill and relax and admire the scenery. Thank you to Estrela who made the finest of cakes and was the perfect host to cater for our every need - a real gem! The Douro is beautiful and the sailing boat trip with Paulo and his gorgeous dog one evening was pure tranquility and highly recommended. As always the weather has been glorious and the portuguese people so friendly it feels home from home. Thank you for a fabulous holiday x The McCallion family Leicestershire, England
