About Casa Valxisto

Casa Valxisto - Country House, is located in the preserved rural village of Quintandona, Penafiel, Northern Portugal. It is a true refuge, with a sophisticated simplicity whose objective is to offer the tones, aromas and all the country richness… 30 minutes from the city of Porto, in the Vale do Sousa region, it's the perfect place to explore the culture, gastronomy and beauty of a region rich in typicality, heritage and history. We recovered furniture and objects loaded with stories of the people who inhabited the house, such as the kneading trough, the milk jug, the basket of eggs, the stool, the bicycle, the window. We personalize paintings, lampshades and paint cushions, which make Casa Valxisto - Country House a welcoming and unique space, unable to leave us indifferent ... A cozy and unique space for “My Country House” to be visited by anyone. A place to enjoy and relax in contact with nature. Our garden surrounds the whole House and it can be found some native species that during the year are presented with its natural beauty. The garden pond is a living ecosystem of fish, amphibians and other animals that refresh themselves and satisfy their thirst. The infinity pool overlooking the vineyard allows you to refresh and relax enjoying the colorful mountains, the vineyard cycle and the tones of nature in each season… It's the place of excellence to watch the wonderful sunset… That leaves us speechless… The proximity of the Douro region offers the opportunity to be dazzled by the landscapes of the vineyards on a boat or train ride; have lunch overlooking the vineyards; feel the history through the best wines in the world and at the end of the day, return to the tranquility of Casa Valxisto - Country House. Casa Valxisto - Country House is located in the middle of three places classified as World Heritage, the historic center of the city of Porto, the historic center of the city of Guimarães and the Douro wine region, being the ideal place to start your discovery… The concern with environmental sustainability is present throughout the House and in the established practices, and we ask our guests to participate with responsible action.
