Source of tranquility
If you are looking for quite place in the middle of nature but not so far from the world, that your access to it could get lost than you are right at this wonderful house. It is tastefully arranged with original furniture and books to every thinkable subject (lucky you if you can read Portuguese) . One of the highlights is quite sure the inviting terrace with mountain view. But to spend too much time there is unnecessary because Jorge will give you a plenty of useful advices where to hike, what to see... I enjoyed my stay there very much.

Apartment in toller Natur mit schöner Aussicht
Es ist ein sehr persönliches Haus durch die Bücher, Bilder und Kunstgegenstände und auch die Sammlung mit den Jazz-Cd’s. Wir haben es genossen, hier Gast sein zu dürfen. Jorge ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Muy buenas fotos pero...
La casa llevaba sin limpiar... Años. Me parece bien que la idea sea una casa de campo, pero una casa de campo en la que los huéspedes tienen que pasarse limpiando una hora solo la habitación para poder dormir no es para mi

Ruhige Lage, viel Natur
Das Landhaus mit riesigem Garten ist so wie beschrieben, in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend, so wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben. Jorge war sehr hilfsbereit, hat uns in sehr gutem Englisch mit nützlichen Infos und Tipps über die Gegend und gesamt Portugal versorgt. Auf dem Gelände waren auch zwei verschmuste Katzen die uns hin und wieder besucht haben.

Relaxing and tranquil farm stay
Ideally located accommodation to explore the beautiful North and its hidden gems. We were welcomed by Jorge, our wonderful, kind and knowledgeable host who gave us useful tips of what to see in the area. The accommodation is very spacious and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Quiet area with stunning views from the terrace.

Mooi huisje met goed uitgeruste keuken
Gelijkvloers met groot terras, prachtig zicht op de vallei. De eigenaar is super sympathiek en spreekt goed Engels en Frans. Hij is altijd bereid te helpen. Geeft interessante info over wat te doen in de omgeving. Het prachtige stadje Amarante ligt op een 10tal kilometer en daar is altijd wat te doen. Het huis is gelegen op een groot terrein waar je gerust kan rondwandelen. De bedjes mochten wel iets breder maar de matrassen waren goed. Dank je Jorge voor dit leuke verblijf.

Ideal for a holiday away from the crowds. Beautiful location and a friendly helpful owner.
We spent a very enjoyable week here. The accommodation is well-equpped and homely. Jorge, our host, lives in the adjacent property. He was very welcoming and helpful, but otherwise left us to enjoy our holiday. We particularly valued Jorge's advice about the best places to visit, restaurants and local amenities. The area is attractive without being "touristy". The property has some great views and a lovely garden. It is within easy driving distance of interesting historical centres in the Douro region including Vila Real, Mateus Palace, Guimaraes, Braga and Lamego. The attractive local town, Amarante, has good shopping and restaurants. We were fortunate to be there for the annual St John festival which was great fun. Ideas for improvement: an information pack for the local area would have been helpful.

Romantisch
Geweldig gelegen romantisch vakantie verblijf, flink beetje alternatief. Badkamer en slaapkamer schoon en netjes de rest een tikje smoezelig. Fantastische eigenaar, die veel tips heeft en wie niets teveel is.
