Casa Agricola da Levada Eco Village

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property. We stayed in a nicely appointed private cabin and loved the fresh foods available from the “honesty shop”. The staff kindly accommodated a last minute change to our stay even after the refund period was past. Would love to come back!

This was a very beautiful spot. We stayed two nights The owner, Angela, did a remarkable job making us feel at home and showing us many local activities and the nearby Riverwalk. There are two swimming pools and the accommodations were fantastic. Thank you Angela!

We stayed here for the third time last night and absolutely love this place!! We make sure we visit there every time we come to Portugal! The staff is amazing! The food is delicious and we love their aesthetic and their purpose!!

Amazing eco resort located in Vila Real. A wonderful surprise. A unique and original house made from the ruins. Fresh baked bread delivered everyday. Wonderful stay!

Quaint and personal in every way - wish we had stayed longer and will be coming back ! Environmentally friendly, organic produce on ground, loved the house we stayed in !

This was an oasis of quiet on the outskirts of Vila Real. We rented a ‘Studio’ which was one of a number of converted outbuildings scattered around the estate. The studio was comfortable, spacious and well equipped for self catering, although we ordered the excellent Evening meal basket and Breakfast basket on our first evening and morning respectively. The on site shop was a useful resource. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a lot of green space with water features (and resident frogs) and Casa Levada takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously. You can walk round the estate through the small vineyard and along the river, and the walk along the river into Vila Real is pleasant and takes about 40 minutes. All the accommodation has outside seating - ours had a small terrace.

This is a truly beautiful location- a 5 acre well cared for reserve along the river which isolates you from the surrounding town. Staff, who live and work here were lovely. The main house, where we stayed, was full of history and had spacious, comfortable rooms. Also a great outdoor pool and a relaxing 1 km walking loop around the property.

I adored this place and would highly recommend it as a base for exploring the Valley. Room: we stayed in the cottage with one room and a kitchen (the other couple in our party stayed in the cottage with two rooms and were equally happy). The cottage is truly huge, with a spacious bedroom and a huge living room/kitchen, and was very attractively furnished and decorated. The shower was large and had great water pressure and temperature, and there was an adequate supply of electrical outlets. Note: unbeknownst to us, the two-room cottage has two bathrooms and could easily have accommodated two couples. Grounds: simply beautiful. Raspberries, which we were free to pick, grew just outside our cottage. The Casa is eco-themed, and has a variety of crops and trees scattered throughout the grounds. Make sure to leave time for at least one walk around the gardens or down to the river. I need to address the issue raised in other reviews of road noise: yes, you can hear some background traffic, but for us it was a total non-issue. In a perfect world perhaps you would hear none, but it did not affect our stay at all. Staff: unfailingly cheerful and friendly (special mention to Angela, who was a delight to interact with). Food: breakfast seemed pricey, so we happily ate the fresh bread they hang outside of your door each morning (a winsome touch, and oh, that bread...), along with jam from their Honesty Shop. Gina's is a reasonable and convenient choice for dinner; most other restaurants will require a drive into town. One night we had their minced veal covilhetes and salad (kindly delivered to our room by Angela) and they were very good. Location: within easy striking distance of Pinhao, Regua and other key destinations in the Douro Valley. Perhaps not the best location if you don't have a car, but I would highly recommend one for exploring the area anyway. Overall, a great stay, and while you may find slightly cheaper places the value is outstanding.

One year ago, l had to go to Vila Real urgently as my husband had suffered a heart attack while biking with his friends there. I chose Casa Agricole da Levada quickly as l needed to stay somewhere close to the hospital, but did not want to stay in a hôtel. The farm setting, organic food & swimming pools sounded like a welcome relief from dealing with à stressfull situation - and so it was.. All the staff were so kind & understanding. The place was so peaceful.. Even though over the years the town has developed around them, Casa da Levada has retained it's old world charm, & with the possibility of going for a walk for over half an hour without leaving the grounds, it's like another world. I ended staying at Casa Agricola da Levada for one month, until my husband was able to fly home - so Muito obrigado por tudo! 💝 Dara & Marc
