Lovely house not too far from Porto

We spent a very nice week here at the end of June. Greeted by Eduardo and his parents who had provided cake and a bottle of port. Nothing was too much trouble - Eduardo doing the translating. The polytunnel garden below the property is for the use of guests and we loved picking vegetables, salad and the strawberries. The pool is very nice and well maintained, and the house and pool have good and interesting views onto the river. The water-park opposite was not too intrusive, and we had all our evening meals outside in a lovely tranquil setting. The house details were a little unclear regarding the bathrooms, but each of the three double bedrooms has its own well equipped bathroom with decent showers and plenty of hot water, Choice of two decent sized supermarkets in Amarante nearby - Intermarche and Continental. Continental was a bit easier to get to and better stocked. Amarante was a very nice town (our favourite of the towns we visited in the area), not too big, and with good restaurants. Overall - highly recommended if you want to stay near here, and thank you Miquelina.

Wonderful holiday

We (three adults and a five year old) had a lovely week staying in Miquelina and Eduardo's property. The house is easily accessible from the motorway but is down a little road so not affected by road noise. It took us less than an hour from Porto airport. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and a well stocked veg patch. We were met at the house by Miquelina and Eduardo and their daughter who translated for them. They kindly gave us a home made cake and a bottle of Porto and showed us around. We were able to help ourselves to freshly grown vegetables throughout the week and there is an abundance of fresh mint for mojitos! The photos of the house are an accurate representation and the kitchen is well equipped for indoor and outdoor cooking. We also had access to a washing machine. We really enjoyed the local area. We visited the beach near Porto and saw some rockpools; caught the end of the June celebrations in Amarante, with a fun fair and a parade; walked the Paiva walkway; visited the castle and abbey in Guimaraes and spent the day in Porto on the way back to the airport. The rest of the time was spent around the terrace and pool. Overall we would highly recommend a stay here.

Superb accommodation and lovely owners!

My friends and I (7 people) stayed in the villa for 4 nights and absolutely loved it from the very beginning. Our first impression was great! The owners are very lovely, welcoming and always ready to help! The house is great, very spacious, decorated very tastefully, clean and equipped in everything you need to have a perfect holiday. We adored the BBQ area, garden, pool and the stunning views. I will definitely keep this property in mind if I'll be coming back to Portugal.

Fantastisk sted

Fantastisk sted med en bedårende beliggenhed. Eneste der kan trække lidt ned i den sammenhæng er den larmende Aqua Park på den anden side af floden. Super charmerende hus og suverænt pool område. Alt i alt en rigtig dejlig ferie.
