Historic eco-friendly house with a garden, near Douro and a cycle path to Porto | House in Porto
2 Bedroom House in Avintes, Porto
Casa do Mestrinho is a historic family home, restored over many years with respect for its original character and the history of the place.
It is neither a standard accommodation nor a recent building designed for mass tourism. It is a lived-in house, with a real history, natural imperfections and authenticity — the result of a long-term project carried out largely by our own hands.
Here we value conservation, ecology and respect for what already existed. We have retained the essence of the original house and sought to breathe new life into it without stripping it of its character.
The house is set in a peaceful location, with a garden and views of the Douro, where you can enjoy al fresco dining, barbecues and dinner beneath the vineyards, in a serene and relaxed atmosphere.
It is a place that offers a balance between the countryside and the city: the peace and tranquillity of a rural area, with Porto and city life just a few minutes’ drive away.
The location also makes it easy to explore the region: the River Douro, Gaia Biological Park, the beaches of Gaia and the entire northern coastline — from Aveiro to Guimarães — on day trips.
Espinhaço is a restored historic site, simple and unassuming, sparsely populated, with a warm and genuine atmosphere.
This is a place for those seeking stays with character. For those who love houses with history, gardens, nature and a connection to the land. For those who value authenticity over luxury, experience over service.
We are not a hotel. We do not offer formal services or a standardised experience. We are a family who have opened our home, with all that this entails: care, a warm welcome, and also the natural imperfections of a lived-in space.
We are delighted to welcome people who identify with this way of life — who respect the house, the silence and the spirit of the place.
In return, we offer a unique space, steeped in history, surrounded by nature and with a genuine connection to the local area.
