House with pool and surrounded by extensive gardens, situated on a hill, sea view

rural object with large garden, mix of modern technique equipment and historical feeling. We enjoyed especially the breakfasts on the sunny terrace, the pool in the backyard and the time off with some excursions to Braga or Guimaraes. The reception was outstanding with great explanations and even fresh cake as a welcome. Thanks for having us...

A quelques minutes à vélo des plages se niche cette belle maison en pierre aux fenêtres rouges dans un très grand jardin clos savamment fleuri planté d'arbres fruitiers , de vigne et de citronniers. La grande piscine à l'abri du vent, la terrasse sous les arbes , la salle de billard et bien d'autres merveilles invitent à la paresse et à la détente. Très grande cuisine à l'ancienne , cinq belles chambres et un vaste salon sont au rendez-vous pour un séjour placé sous le signe du plus grand confort. Une mention particulière pour les hôtes dont l'extrême gentillesse et le grand professionalisme donnent l'impression d'être reçu chez des amis. Les chiens sont bienvenus .

We had a fab week here. The villa is ideally located for visits to great sites - Guimaraes, Braga, Caminha, Punto da Lima - and lots of fine empty beaches. Antonio (owner) and his mum (who also made us two amazing cakes) couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Likewise the beautiful cat (Mia) and the dogs! The house and pool was spotlessly clean and the large garden really special. We highly recommend this property (although it does need a new toaster).

This is a beautiful traditional villa with some great outdoor seating areas especially those in the front made shady by an enormous vine canopy. The front garden was a lovely place to relax as well as for the kids to run around. The house was spacious and easily accommodated all 9 of us. The pool is a good size with a seating area which looks past the house and has views of the sea. It was a nice spot to lounge whilst watching the children jump around in the water. This is a traditional house so don't expect mod cons such as air conditioning and note that the five bedrooms are arranged in two separate parts of the house with separate staircases (2 in one section and 3 in the other). Antonio and family were extremely hospitable and Antonio responded promptly to any questions we had as well as being very helpful with recommendations for sightseeing spots and restaurants.
