Perfect property for a relaxing holiday.
Once inside the gate it is remarkable how spacious the grounds of this property are. The photographs are accurate but do not convey the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity in extensive grounds which you are welcome to explore. The pool is large, clean and a lovely temperature.
The House Martins, Wagtails, small owls and Hoopoes come to visit the gardens filled with agapanthus. The owners house is to the side but not intrusive.
We met Sophia and Mauricio on arrival and departure but could contact them anytime. They speak very good English and are very friendly.
The house itself is very sympathetically furnished in a Portuguese traditional style in keeping with the house and grounds and the owners have put some thought into making it look welcoming. It has everything you need for a get away holiday. The bathrooms are modern and beds comfortable, the two singles are large singles.
The local village has all the amenities but you will need to drive, the big supermarket is about 7 minutes away.
We enjoyed exploring the local area. Guimaraes the nearest big town is 30 minutes by car, easy to get too with good parking, interesting streets and shops.
Highly recommended for couples and for families as plenty of outside space, tennis courts (racquets are supplied) football table and nearby lake beach to keep people occupied.
