Quinta da Maínha - Charming Houses - com piscina privada

The outdoor area is undoubtedly the highlight of the property. The garden is beautiful, spacious and very well maintained, and we really enjoyed spending time there. Professionals came almost every day to take care of the garden and grounds, and everyone we met was very pleasant and kind. The pool is lovely, especially on very hot summer days, although some shade over part of the pool would have made it even more enjoyable. The host was very responsive and quick to reply whenever we contacted her.

The interior of the house was of a considerably lower standard than we expected based on the photos and overall presentation of the property. Some of the furniture and equipment are in need of maintenance or replacement. The metal racks inside the dishwasher are rusty, the microwave is difficult to open, and the dining table and chairs are quite worn and unstable. There were also not enough dining chairs for all 9 guests. The mattresses on the bunk beds were of very low quality, and the rugs throughout the house looked old and seemed to cover flooring that was not particularly well maintained. The tap water was slightly cloudy during our stay, so we chose to buy drinking water for the entire stay. There were also a few things we would have appreciated knowing in advance. Another house on the property shares the washing machine with this house, so its guests had to walk through our garden to use it. The washing machine is also located directly next to the window of one of the bathrooms, and the window does not have a blind that fully covers it, which affected our sense of privacy. There is also a security camera inside the living room, which we would have preferred to know about before our stay. Overall, better communication in advance about the condition and standard of the interior, the shared facilities and the level of privacy would have helped set more accurate expectations.

Las instalaciones y la limpieza y sobre todo la amabilidad de las personas que cuidan y limpian la casa

Ubicación muy buena, en las afueras de Braga en zona rural. El trato con Isabela fue fantástico, lo mejor, también con Ana. Recomiendo visitar la tienda/bodega de Manuel (en el mismo pueblo) para comprar pan, alimentos o tomar un café; totalmente recomendable.

Personnel très sympathique, à l’écoute. Cadre incroyablement beau, fleurie, très entretenu. Facile d’accès est très calme.

Seul point négatif, la piscine partage entre les deux logements. Nous nous retrouvions parfois à 18 personne dans la piscine cela fais un peu juste. Manque quelque équipements (assiettes, verres)
