Hilltop Manor, Douro Valley
About this property
Perched on a hilltop in São Martinho de Mouros, this proud three-storey stone manor, known as Casa do Pelourinho, comes with four buildings, nearly 6,000 square metres of land, and enough character to fill several lifetimes. The main house spans eight bedrooms and sweeping staircases, with a living room that still houses its original wine press, a double-height reception hall, and upper rooms that catch the Douro Valley light like they were designed for it.
Beyond the manor, a caretaker's cottage with a rustic stone oven and sun-drenched patio waits for its next chapter, while a garage bearing a stone portal and coat of arms brings genuine architectural gravitas. Four natural springs, productive cherry trees, a covered water tank, and over 5,800 square metres zoned for construction round out an offer that is as practical as it is poetic.
Ninety kilometres from Porto and a stone's throw from the UNESCO-listed Alto Douro Wine Region, this is the kind of property where boutique hotel plans feel realistic, artist retreat ambitions feel inspired, and simply living well feels entirely justified. The Romanesque Route passes nearby. The views stay with you.
