Holiday Rentals in Sao Joao de Pesqueira - A Guide to Sao Joao de Pesqueira
In the north-eastern corner of Viseu district, in the upper reaches of the Douro Valley lies the beautiful municipality of Sao Jao de Pesqueira. If you are lucky enough to find a Sao Jao de Pesqueira holiday rental with views over the river you will find yourself in an amazing holiday destination.
Wine is all important here and from a holiday rental in Sao Jao de Pesqueira you will be well placed to visit some of the many wine festivals held along the length of the valley.
Be sure to take a ride on the historic steam train which runs along the valley on Saturdays between June and October. In times of high fire risk the train may be pulled by a diesel engine instead of the steam loco but this affects the stunning scenery not one iota. It’s a must do. River boat trips are popular too.
