Offering a seasonal outdoor pool and views of the mountain and vineyards, Melgaço Alvarinho Houses is situated 4 km from Melgaço. Peneda-Geres National Park is a 20-minute drive. The property won a national award for Urban Rehabilitation in 2017.

We were very touched by the kindness shown by the entire team of the house throughout our stay. The house is perfect, very comfortable, equipped to the best and located in an enchanting setting. We took advantage of the swimming pool and the garden as well, just as pleasant as the rest of the rental. We congratulate the owners on this very beautiful restoration that they have made of this old house, highlighted by this superb surrounding land. We will not fail to tell those around us, to friends who would be tempted to visit this beautiful region of the North of Portugal, but also, via Booking.com, to future tenants of these houses.
