Solar da REDE, Douro Valley, location 2..
Near Mio Frio, which is near Vila Real, which is east of Porto.. through treacherous mountain roads. But what a location!! The view of the valley below is amazing. The area is covered with lush grape vines, fruit trees of oranges, kiwi, lemons, limes...
The large court yard out front and statues reminded me of the mansion from Sound of Music! no Von Trapp kids though...
Food was..guess what?, great again! One little thing though, I ordered "brill" not knowing what it was..that was probably ok, but the wrong order came, and yes I had octopus!! I thought it was brill so I didn't complain. It was as big as my arm and the suckerpads as big as eyeballs. Ok, a small exaggeration, and to my amazement, it tasted GREAT!
