Where it is

The address is Rua da Frágua 67, 5225-102 Sendim, and the property's coordinates — 41.38589, -6.42678 — fall on that exact street, in the Sendim e Atenor parish, municipality of Miranda do Douro, Bragança district. According to Booking.com's "What's nearby" section, the house is 590 m (1,950 ft) from the centre of Sendim and the Douro Internacional Natural Park starts at the doorstep (listed distance: 0). Restaurante Gabriela is 170 m away, Taberna a Moagem and Fonte Nova Café roughly 625 m, and the Parque de Lazer de Teixeira 13 km. The nearest airport is Bragança Airport, 82 km away. Sendim is the southernmost parish of the Miranda do Douro municipality, some 23 km from the town itself, in the heart of the Mirandese plateau — the territory where Mirandese, Portugal's second official language, is still spoken.

Units, capacity and prices

Booking.com sells five unit types at Curral de l Tiu Pino: one double room, three studios and an entire four-bedroom house. On the dates sampled for this listing — 10 to 12 November 2026, 2 adults, rates in euros with 6% VAT charged separately — four of them had a live rate:

• Studio — 25 m² (269 ft²), 1 full bed, private kitchenette: EUR 66 per night.
• Studio (3 Adults) — 25 m², 1 twin bed and 1 full bed, ground floor, with a view: EUR 75 per night.
• Studio (4 Adults) — 25 m², 1 full bed and 1 bunk bed, ground floor, with a view: EUR 80 per night.
• Four-Bedroom House — an entire home for 8 guests, four bedrooms with a full bed each: EUR 118 per night.

The double room had no availability on those dates, so it carries no price here. Every rate sampled was room only (no meals included), with free cancellation until 3 days before arrival, no prepayment and no credit card needed. On some dates the property enforces a 2-night minimum stay: a one-night search for 15 September 2026 returned the message "You need to stay 2+ nights to book your selected dates".

All three studios have a private kitchenette with fridge, oven, hob, microwave, toaster and kitchenware, a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating and a flat-screen TV; linens and towels are provided. The four-bedroom house adds a dining area, fridge, microwave, private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.

What to do around it

The house sits inside the Douro Internacional Natural Park, the stretch where the Douro forms the border between Portugal and Spain and runs deep inside granite canyons. The property's own Booking.com gallery shows exactly what defines the area: eco-cruises between the cliffs, kayaking, waterfalls, birds of prey nesting on the escarpments and the Mirandese donkey. Sendim is also a natural base for cycling the plateau and for Mirandese food — posta à mirandesa steak, wood-fired bread, olive oil and cured sausage all feature in the photographs the house publishes.

What guests say

In Booking.com's verified reviews, guests come back again and again to the welcome from the owners — "run directly by its owners", as one Spanish guest puts it. Several describe guided visits offered by the host, Mr António, to the winery and the olive press, with an explanation of the area's history and customs, and mention breakfast served as a courtesy even though it is not included in the rates. Booking.com also notes that the property is highly rated for the comfort of its beds and is popular with families.
