WowâŠAmazing, stunning Villa !!!
The photos donât do the Villa justice. We were all bowled over when we arrived at the size of the place.
We were a party of 16 including kids and we could walk around without actually seeing one another st times.
If youâre looking for modern then this isnât the place for you but if you want something with character that is steeped in history then youâll be hard pushed to find something better.
The Villa sits in acres of its own grounds with massive lawn an swimming pool and a fantastic patio area with outdoor BBQ.
The rooms alll have their own en suites and are of a decent size with ample space.
Whilst there is no air con, the stone walls are so thick it isnât really needed, though we did buy fans just to help cool things in the evening for the bedrooms.
The area is quite rural but there are shops a 5min walk away and a little cafe and a restaurant.
For the Big shop we walked to Lidl (about 25mins) and got Ubers or local taxi back.
We also walked to the train station (20mins) to venture further afield to Porto and Guimares.
You donât need to go to the expense of hiring a car if youâre happy to walk a little.
Clara was great from a host point of view, replying to queries quite speedily and was happy to answer any questions and help where she could re transport, taxis etc.
Casimiro (Claraâs representative) was great and always on hand, although didnât speak a word of English; he used google translate which was fine.
