The view from the house and terrace is truly delightful stretching for miles of terraced properties and woodland separated by the River Douro. Tourist boats often cruise its waters in a memorable and interesting journey.

Birthplace of the Port wine, the Douro region was the first wine production region to be implemented in the world.

Casa de Rebolfe was once the main house of a farm located by the river Bestanca which ceased to exist when the Carrapatelo Dam was constructed. This 18th century house is built in granite featuring careful carved stonework of the doorways, window frames and cornices.

In 1990 the house was carefully restored preserving its original architecture and adapting it for tourist accommodation.
