"We had a lovely time staying in this villa. The location is peaceful and quiet. Having a car is recommended to get about to places like Guimareas or Braga and the pool could be much deeper but other than that, we had an amazing experience! The host has superb communication and will help with whatever issues that may occur. The wine from their vineyard (Rosé and White) is very nice. I highly recommend."

"We spent a wonderful 6 days at Casa Grande Carlota. Antonio was very helpful with any enquiries we had before our trip and we were greeted warmly on our arrival. The house is exactly as described - or even better. We were amazed at how well equipped it was. The pool is great and there are so many different areas to sit and relax both inside and outside. The covered barbecue area/outdoor kitchen is brilliant and we ate out there every night. There is a very good supermarket in Terras de Bouro....

"This is an excellent property in a beautiful setting. As well as the pool, the house is surrounded by a wonderful garden with orchard, vines, and shaded spots. The very welcoming owner lives next door and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and interesting - he gave us his own wine, vegetables from the garden and arranged for the local baker to deliver every day. The house was spotless and very well provided with bedrooms and bathrooms. Fast wifi in the house. Cooking facilities...

"Die Anlage bietet eine tolle Aussicht, ist sehr ruhig gelegen, schön angelegt und ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für viele Ausflüge. Leider war das Apartment an vielen Stellen mit schwarzem Schimmel belastet, was man auch riechen konnte. Diese Situation ist umso ärgerlicher, da wir vor Reisebeginn gezielt nach möglichem Schimmelbefall gefragt hatten, was von der Agentur verneint wurde. "

"Great house to stay at, our kids enjoyed the pool. Also very attractive for families with small kids, lots of toys are supplied for. House was fully equiped. Environment is beautifull."

"The property is gorgeous The‘pool house’ part of it is the only disappointing part with the shower right on top of the toilet and the cramped bedroom "

"The home is in a beautiful, peaceful location. There are many fruit trees, a pond, a swimming pool, and cute farm animals including baby sheep. Our family enjoyed the home and grounds very much. Francisca was a hospitable and gracious host. She gave us a tour of the grounds upon our arrival and provided provisions for breakfast, including eggs fresh from her chickens. We would return again to this home and recommend it to anyone looking for wonderful scenery. Our kids loved it, too!"

"After a few days in Lisbon, we were ready to decompress, and this was just the place to relax. It's in a very small town without many amenities, but there is a great kitchen and supermarket just a few min walk away. The property is immaculate, and very modern. We really appreciated the quiet nights of drinking wine and playing cards, and stretching in the morning with the bright sun and beautiful deck."

"Nous avons séjourné 10 jours dans la maison flottante dans un super cadre très agréable. Piscine, jacuzzi, herbe, fleur .... c'est très dépaysant et très calme. Nous ne sommes pas loin du village où il y a tout ce qu'il faut (magasin, supermarché, restaurants....) si j'ai un conseil à donner au propriétaire, c'est d'ajouter une étagère dans la salle de bain qui est petite afin d'avoir plus de rangement pour les trousses de toilettes. autrement parfait pour nous."

"The gardens are wonderful and pool and outside dining facilities are excellent. What you do not easily deduce from the VRBO description until you arrive is that they are shared with other families. So no secluded relaxing. We were lucky with the other families as they were respectful of our space. The cabin is showing its age and the fittings and décor are in desperate need for refurbishment. Lots of gloomy brown walls and odd decorations, with elderly beds and furnishings. Situated between the...

"The house exceeded all expectations, especially the outside space, pool and gardens. The views are superb and we enjoyed the variety of places we could sit to view the surrounding countryside and sky. Very well equipped kitchen and BBQ which was above average for a holiday let. Our host was extremely helpful and her recommendations for local food and activities was fantastic. Did not want to leave after a week. "
