The view, which is splendid.
The welcome - guests always arrive to afternoon tea, and a supply of tea, coffee, milk, wine, eggs, cakes. The breadman brings fresh rolls every morning - all included in the price. And, guests can help themselves to whatever fruit is on the trees - plums in the summer, oranges, lemons and kiwis in the winter.
Woodland walks right behind the house (you can accompany Virginia on her dog walks, if you'd like to).
The pool - with a great view. Sunloungers, a table and chairs, a fridge for your cool drinks.
In front of the sitting room door is the patio (next to the BBQ), with comfortable sofas and a table, where guests can enjoy eating outside.
There are gardens on all sides, with a table tennis table and swings for young children in front of the house.
No worries about car parking - right in front of the house.
Well located to explore the north of Portugal - near Braga, Guimarães, Porto, Ponte de Lima, Esposende...
I've been living here for 25 years, so I know the area very well! It's a very beautiful part of Portugal.
