Nestled discreetly along the lush banks of the Golden River, this splendid property River Sound serves as an ideal location for a remarkable family gathering or hosting a special occasion. It beckons with an illusion of reachability to the vines on the opposite riverbank. This residence is thoughtfully positioned to fully immerse you in the abundant offerings of the Douro region: panoramic river views, abundant opportunities for wine and Port tastings at your doorstep, invigorating hikes, enchanting sunset sails, and an extensive array of experiences.
This enchanting abode has undergone meticulous restoration to preserve its authentic Old-World allure while seamlessly incorporating modern-day conveniences and infrastructure. Through this restoration, the house has been rejuvenated and now radiates a soothing, contemporary ambiance with abundant natural light, an open-concept living space, and luxurious five-star bedroom suites. Yet, with its ancient stone walls, original wine-crushing wells, and carefully preserved unique features, it is effortless to envision the property's previous life.
