Casa do Rolapipas is a modern villa home in an old-world shell. The best part is just gazing at the river and gardens. Casa do Rolapipas is the ideal location in the Douro Valley for a getaway just off the banks. Just off the banks of the Golden River, this carefully camouglaged villa is the perfect venue for a family celebration or special event. Views of the vineyards on the opposite side of the river help guests immerse themselves in the best that Douro Valley has to offer. Casa do Rolapipas offers breathtaking views up and down the river, wine and Port tastings, hikes, sunset sailing...anything else you can think of, we can help deliver.

Casa do Rolapipas has been carefully restored to maintain the old-world splendor with new-world comforts. The restoration has brought comfort, cool, modern interiors incorporating lots of light, open floor plans, and five-star bedroom suites. The stone walls and original wine-stomping wells have been painstakingly restored, so it is easy to imagine this villa in her former life.
