Wow! We just spent 10 days at this beautiful cottage and had an amazing time. The cottage is incredible, full of character, and even better than the pictures. It has the family's own touches and everything that you want or need for the perfect stay is there, exactly where you expect to find it.The grounds are amazing and the lovely big pool (at least 10m long, maybe 12m?), a small climb up, in the large garden just above the property is fantastic, especially as the temperatures were mostly in the 30's last week, up to 38c at one point. The area in front of the cottage is very neat and tidy with 2 or 3 different areas to catch the sun or shade, with the bbq and various seating options.Despite the temperature, it was easy to keep the cottage cool; we kept the shutters closed during the day when the sun was out and we had no problem sleeping.Diogo is a real gentleman. We went to Porto for 2 days and he offered to show us around on day 2. Unfortunately, we couldn't quite make it work as we wanted to explore the coast that day but it was a kind, genuine offer that we appreciated. Diogo is very responsive to messages and so we knew we would have support there if we needed it.There are a few properties nearby but they do not impact on the stay if you are looking for total peace and tranquility, as we were. It's good to know you're not totally isolated. Also ideally located for walking & cycling.This is an amazing place, definitely an 11 out of 10 and we hope to return soon.

The property was well located with easy and good access to Aramante the Douro valley and Porto. The garden and house are secluded and the surrounding area of vineyards was very quiet and peaceful.
The house was really well equipped and very nice with lots of hot water and towels for the pool. We enjoyed walking around the area and into Aramante along the new footpath next to the river. We had a really relaxing stay and would throughly recommend the house to people.
