    The owner provided many extras we did not expect, like coffee, sparking water, wine and beer. The location was superb for the tram and Bus 500. The owner’s instructions and information were very clear and detailed.

Located along the scenic Douro River in Porto, The River House occupies a unique riverside position that affords guests direct access to water-based recreation—including fishing, boating, and tranquil riverfront walks. The property includes 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Noteworthy features include an open-concept living/dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dedicated outdoor living area. The River House embodies a harmonious synthesis of vernacular riverfront architecture and contemporary refinement. Externally, its form is defined by clean yet organic lines that integrate seamlessly with the natural topography of the riverside. Large windows and extended eaves blur the threshold between interior and exterior, transforming the river itself into a living architectural element. Natural materials—such as timber, stone, and occasionally reclaimed wood—express both rustic authenticity and environmental responsiveness, anchoring the home within its landscape. The interiors are composed in a transitional style, where rustic craftsmanship converges with modern comforts. Warm wooden textures and neutral palettes provide a grounding sense of intimacy, while thoughtful accents—such as exposed beams, artisanal furnishings, or curated artworks—convey sophistication. Open-plan layouts invite convivial gatherings, while private alcoves preserve spaces of retreat and contemplation. Light is choreographed with intention: expansive windows frame the river as a shifting tableau, ensuring the guest’s experience is one of constant dialogue between interior life and natural surroundings.
