Peace and quiet on a hillside with birdsong and wildlife. This is a beautiful property with the most wonderful view and hospitable host. Absolute relaxation. We will definitely return.
Jose was very welcoming and the property was very comfortable. Jose gave us lots of good advice about restaurants and places to visit. The kitchen is basic but there are so many good and inexpensive places to eat out that that didnât really matter.
We had a week st this property. The kitchen is quite basic with a four ring cooker and a microwave, We soon realised that it was best to take advantage of the super restaurants in the area! The location is excellent for exploring and the owners suggestions of where to go were welll received. I was nervous about our car being able to manage the steep road up and down but no issues arose. The garden area was super to relax in
Een heerlijke plek met veel privacy. Jose is erg vriendelijk en gaf veel tips waar te eten en leuke plaatsen om te bezoeken. Keuken is voldoende uitgerust om zelf te koken. Het bed ligt heerlijk en ook de douche was goed.
Apenas de lamentar a subida em empedrado que com chuva fazia os pneus plissarem e requeria alguma perĂcia.
Tudo o resto conforme o anĂșncio. Tranquilidade fantĂĄstica.
We loved our stay! The views of the surrounding region are stunning. The owner meets you nearby to guide you to the property which is helpful- but note this is not a location with lockbox access in case youâre arriving at odd hours or find that uncomfortable . He gave us great suggestions for the nearby area which we loved! Note- there are no soaps provided aside from hand soaps so be sure to pack everything you need. If youâre looking for a secluded, rustic stay in the countryside, this is the place for you!
Jose was warm, welcoming and attentive. Just sitting inside this 17th/18th century cottage, looking out the large bay window over the mountainside, it is hard to believe that it isn't an ever-changing painting of beauty. From sunrise to moon-rise, the view is stunning. We loved sitting by the pool and soaking in the sun and silence. We feel so luck to have stayed here for 3 days; it was quite the retreat and will always be remembered. Only word of caution is the drive is a bit treacherous, but so worth the journey! Enjoy!
The property has amazing views and is very convenient for the supermarkets which are less than 10 minutes drive. Jose was very helpful with his local knowledge which we really appreciated. Jose was an excellent host, ensuring that we had everything we needed. We had an amazing holiday.
Joseâs mountain retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind. It is peaceful and secluded with the added luxury of a private pool.
Porto is just over an hour away and there are plenty of small villages and country walks in the vicinity. Viseu is well worth a visit as are the natural pools and waterfall just outside of Vila Real.
Weâd stayed in Joseâs place for a week. Had a great time, driving to villages, visiting rivers and monasteries. And the cottage was a great place to hang out or come back to later in the day. And Jose was a wonderful host. Met us nearby to show us how to reach the property. Chatted to us about the local area and gave great tips on places to visit. Will definitely be visiting again!
We stayed for a week in early July when the weather had picked up and it was 27-30degrees every day.
JosĂš was a really fantastic host. He let us in early after our flight arrived very early. He took time to tell us about good places to visit and pointed them out on map.
The location was great. Only 15 minutes drive from Lamego. You will need a car for going out to eat. The local roads can be quite narrow but also steep and windy. We had a Nissan Qashqai which was good for dealing with uneven surfaces but very tight on some of local roads.
There is a small kitchen if you want to stay in and cook. No oven but an electric top and a fridge just big enough for two.
Main bedroom is downstairs and very cool during night.
Wonderful location and views. The drive down to the property from main road not for the faint hearted but worth it. Simple layout inside and everything worked. Could do with easier access ie set of steps from upper lounge/kitchen to the lower level for the outside patio and pool areas. Have to carry meal down tight spiral staircase through bedroom or take outside and round house down very steep slope. The host Jose was brilliant, very helpful and full of tips for best places to go or eat out. We had some amazing meals in restaurants we would never have found without his knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Het was een prachtige tiendaagse. We hebben er van genoten. Jose was er altijd als we hem nodig hadden. We hebben een aantal keren uitstapjes gedaan en zo leuke plekken leren kennen. Het zwembad hebben we minder gebruikt, het weer liet het niet toe. Geslaagde vakantie in alle rust!
Jose is a wonderful property owner. Engaging, helpful and kind. The property is remote enough to be really relaxing with quick and easy access to surrounding cities, villages and vineyards. We had arrived after visiting Porto and Braga for several days and found this little house to be exactly the thing we needed to relax and recharge. I would definitely recommend this property.
