We spent a dream vacation week, wonderfully relaxing in this stone house that exactly matches the photos and description; it is beautifully located. The house is fully furnished and equipped. We lacked nothing. All the appliances worked perfectly! The property is located among the vineyards, in a quiet neighborhood, and offers breathtaking views of the Lima Valley and the Roman bridge of Ponte de Lima. It is planted with fruit trees, oleanders, and olive trees. The owners, Detlev and Mei, who live in the neighboring house, are very helpful and discreet and gave us many tips. In summary, the house is highly recommended, and the area offers many activities (beautiful beaches, ancient villages, hikes in the national park, bike rides along the Lima River). Ponte de Lima is a lively little town with several restaurants and supermarkets. You will find everything you need there. A car is essential.The owner, Mei, is very kind, welcoming, available, and discreet. The house is simply magnificent, the view of the Ponté de Lima is sublime, the vegetation is incredible and there are plenty of things to do and see. We highly recommend this place, thank you very much, see you soon
