“We had a great stay here”
+The house and the property are beautiful, peaceful and have amazing views over the valley. It had everything we needed for our stay and the pool was a great bonus. It’s also in a very good location, with an easy access, several grocery stores 10-15 mins ride away, and some of the best wineries in the area. Easy communication with the host.

“Beautiful, peaceful, and memorable stay”
+The Quinta was beautiful! We absolutely loved the views. The property is so peaceful. It’s amazing to be able to walk through the vineyards or just sit by the pool and enjoy the views. The host, Barbara, was so accommodating. We had the quinta’s wine tasting one evening and she brought special snacks and games for the kids, which was very thoughtful. I also had a wonderful massage right next to the pool with an actual massage table and peaceful music (the massage is coordinated through the host and paid separately). The location is very central and easy to get to Pacheca and Vallado. The beds were very comfortable and the house had the necessary supplies to cook meals at home. My kids used the tennis court and basketball hoop often. The apartment is a single level unit on the ground floor - the rest of the building in the photo is the family’s residence. They were quiet and did not interfere at all with our stay. We really loved this place and hope to return next fall!
−The pool was colder than we had hoped for. We stayed in early June.

“Sitting outside at Casa da Formiga by the pool looking at the valley with a glass of wine is the perfect way to spend an”
+The outstanding view, the pool, the beautiful interior of the apartment. Casa da Formiga is an outstanding location with easy access to Regua and the Douro Valley. The beds were very comfy!
−Although the bathrooms were small, they were adequate for our needs.

“Your own little casita de campo in the heart of the Douro valley”
+Quite an amazing little spot to give you the feel of having your own vineyard (quinto) property just a few minutes from Peso da Regúa. The weather did not cooperate for us to fully take advantage of the outdoor space, but the views and peace and singing birds were delightful. We appreciated the covered outdoor table for a rainy lunch. The casita provides all that 2 couples or a small family would need to feel at home and not need to go out all the time. I was able to walk into town and back through the vineyard using Google Maps, avoiding the narrowest part of the road.
−Only minor issues, we arrived at dusk and were not sure exactly where the front door to the actual rental was. It looks like they used to be open for tastings, so there is a small ‘Entrada’ sign on the main building, and when you drive up the headlights did not show the door with the lockbox. Perhaps add one more small reflective sign to point the way ro the correct door? Second one was the information sheet with WiFi etcetera was not posted where it was supposed to be. Fortunately, communication with the contact number was good and we received the needed password quickly. It would be nice to have a bit of local info provided.

“Very good”
+The views and the pool were spectacular
−We recently stayed at Casa da Formiga Turismo e vinhos while touring Portugal to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday. We specifically chose this location for the occasion, drawn by its reputation for amazing views and ambiance. The scenery was indeed breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere of the vineyard was truly spectacular. The casa was a quintessential, perfectly unkept historic house. Unfortunately, our stay was overshadowed by a significant issue. The power was turned off around midnight on our first night(night before birthday), resulting in an uncomfortable, sleepless experience that ruined our plans for the next day. This was particularly disappointing given the special occasion we were there to celebrate. My daughter suffers from a medical condition that is exacerbated by heat(it was 41 degrees out and we had no AC) , and both by partner and I both use CPAP machines due to sleep apnea. We were awake for hours trying to find a comparable place to stay in the area, and had a difficult time falling back to sleep due to the heat, our anger, and frustration. We tried to reach them via their contact #, and ringing the main house doorbell to no answer. The next day we were

“Easy drive from Regua, great spot, welcoming hosts”
+The location was great with a great view over the Douro valley. Hanging around the pool was a nice reprieve during our trip. The owners and their daughter were very friendly. They offered to give us a tour of the winery and gave us a bottle of wine of their wine to enjoy.
