What a wonderful holiday; a chance to experience and see the real Portugal away from the tourist traps. The villa itself was lovely; large, cool in the heat and traditional with all the luxury amenities including a superb pool. It was quiet with no traffic and only horses, dogs and kittens for company. Glorious views across the hills and winding roads between the many small villages that dominate this area. Jose and Anna could not have been more helpful and welcoming. A great base to explore the coast, Porto and local mountains all of which can be reached in no time. Will definitely be back if this review hasn't booked the villa for the next 10 years....
