The cottage is detached, set against terraces offering many places to relax. The pool has a granite terrace with views towards the river Olo and its crystal clear water and hills covered with trees. With the farm bounded by 2 rivers we can arrange white water rafting and canoeing as well as fishing and hill walking. We have a jeep suitable for safari through the mountains and eucalyptus plantations. In amarante apart from a market, many cafe/bars and restaurants there is an 18 hole golf course, aqua park and sports centre for many activities as well as tennis. With the a4 mtorway 6km away both the coast and inland cities like Vila Real, Braga, Guimaraes, Porto and the Douro Valley are all less than 1 hours drive.
We spent one week in Tina and Harry's cottage, closed to Amarante. It's a beautiful place, nice cottage, well equiped and clean.
Tina and Harry are lovely people who do all they can to make your holidays as nice as possible.
Amarante is a very nice town. The historic area is very interesting and you can have great views on the river.
If you want to eat well, go to "Taberna d'Azenha" (2 km from the cottage). Maria and her daughter Joanna are very nice. The food is good, simple and not expensive. Great address !!!
All my love to the pets !!! : Candy, Mel and Poppy !!!
Thanks Tina and Harry for your kindness.

Een schoon, ruim huisje met veel privacy in een natuurrijke omgeving. Daarnaast een mooi,klein zwembad. Een vriendelijke eigenaar en een fijn welkom met water en wijn. We voelden ons hier erg thuis.
In der Unterkunft kann man sehr gemĂŒtlich Urlaub machen. Chillen unter Weinlaub, erfrischender Pool, nette Vermieter, gute Lage um Nordportugal zu erkunden.
A picture postcard cottage set in beautiful surroundings.
Perfectly positioned to explore the local amenities and countryside, with plenty of restaurants and cafes a short drive away.A very good place to base an outdoors themed holiday or short break for an authentic feel of the real Portugal ! The hosts Tina and Harry are always very helpful with tips, help and local knowledge to make your stay an enjoyable experience. And if that isn't enough they can source you some really good red or white wines , what more could you want ?
