Solar Piedade - 12.500 sq m2 property with pool and tennis court near Porto

This property is in the center of a small city, and is a Villa with 12.500 m2.; Some buildings in the property are dated from 1740. The Villa used to be a farm with 100.000 m2. In the end of the past century, the property size was reduced, allowing us to take a better care of the beautiful gardens, the swimming pool and tennis court areas, and the decoration. A car trip from the villa to the downtown area of Porto takes 12 minutes (17 km), and the Atlantic coast and sandy beaches are 20 minutes (22 km) from the villa. The villa is totally modern and renovated and we take a lot of pride in the decoration and materials made available to our guests. The five rooms are devided in two separated houses. The 'Swimming Pool House', has two en-suite rooms on the 1st. floor, with views of the swimming pool area and it's garden, and the 'Cottage House', just five meters across, with three rooms, two on the 1st. floor and one on the ground floor. This house has one full bathroom on the 1st. floor and another, very spacious and modern full bathroom on the ground floor. We consider our rental ideal for groups of more than one family, but it is also very interesting for a single couple that want's a beatiful experience of staying in a large property.
There is free wi-fi in all rooms and inside areas, as well as outside, in the gardens. The parking is free and there is a lot of spaces available for that, and also a closed garage just for the guests vars. Children's cod's and high chairs are also available without any extra-charge.
There are two supermarkets at close, walking distance (Intermarché and Minipreço), as well as bakeries, restaurants and take aways barbecue, pizza hut delivery, ATM machines and banks... You will never feel isolated in this villa, but you will find a place where you and your family or friends have all the space you need to relax, be confortable and at ease, with lots of things to do... We think that from the first minutes of arriving until saying goodbye, our guests feel that Our Lady of Mercy Villa / Solar Piedade, is a perfect holiday home for groups and families. All the positive and pleasant reviews make us feel that our place is good and even very special to the people that have graced us with their visit, and words like 'oasis', 'paradise', 'wonderful', keep being mentioned, keeping us motivated to live up to the expectations. We are devoted to make our guests stays more pleasant than in the past, and keep investing and treasuring their comments and advises.

A great holiday with family and friends
Nice property and host. Very responsive and friendly. We are a group 11 of three families and everybody loved the holiday. Supermarkets and nice restaurant can be reached by walking. Plenty activities to keep kids busy. You do need to have your own transport for accessing Porto. Thanks for hosting us.

Lovely place !
We've enjoyed our stay, villa can easily accommodate 10 people (5 couples). Owner and his team are superb in all matters, always available for any questions at any time. Big pool, well equipped kitchen. Beautiful surrounding with touch of history everywhere. 10 minutes drive range from airport and center of Porto. Don't forget to let Manuela cook you a very delicious dinner :-)

Old World Charm with Modern Amenities
We loved our week at Solar Piedade! Perfect place for an active family that enjoy swimming, tennis, basketball, pool etc. within the compound of a beautiful old villa. Everything we needed was available and in addition, the location was close to the airport and downtown Porto. Great communication with Helder and Sebastian. This is a very unique property and I would highly recommend it.

Great place to spend a week with friends or family
This property is a green oasis. The old stone buildings are beautifully decorated. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, with comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. The pool is great and the movable roof is absolutely brilliant. The town does not have much to offer, but supermarkets are within walking distance, and the property is located perfectly for airport, train and drives in the area. Both the hosts and the couple living at the property are very welcoming and helpfull. If you are offered a tasting expirience - say yes! The homecooked food is amazing and totally worth a try :) Overall a very nice place to spend a week - even when weather is against you.

Fantastic Estate close to beautiful Porto
Just can’t said any negative things about this fantastic Estate. Historical buildings, well maintained both inside and outside. Clean and nicely decorated. Pool, tennis, table tennis are just some of the activities you can enjoy while staying. A very nice grill area is also avaible. But most important is the fantastic host. Helpfull and always there to facilitate. You should not mis the fantastic portuguese dinner the host offer to prepare for you while. staying.

Loved our stay in Alfena
We loved the villa the second we drove through the gates. Sebastian was so gracious with trying to communicate with us, hence Google translator helping. The entire compound, the swimming pool, bedrooms were great. We just wished we had more time to spend at the villa to enjoy it more. It's a small neighborhood but places you can walk to for groceries/restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa for your stay.

Awesome Villa
We had the best time in Porto, Portugal for my daughter’s wedding. The villa is just perfect for a big family like ours. The place is huge and and very private but not far from the city, just 20 minutes (w/ traffic) drive to old town Porto. Will definitely go back there!

Didn’t want to leave!!!!
What an amazing property. 8 of us arrived (13-54) for a week and just didn’t want to leave. Everything about this place was perfect and we’re all so relaxed after our time there. The pool table, the tennis court, basket ball, swimming pool. There was plenty for everyone to do. We used Uber a couple of times to go into Porto but literally couldn’t wait to get back to the villa. The local town has good amenities and we did go off and explore and find some lovely walks among vineyards and some old cobbled streets. Cannot wait to go back

Amazing gem near Porto
Some of the thinsg we didnt quite realize when we booked: - The house is way bigger and a lot nicer then presented on the pictures. - The house is extremely clean and cosy - The house is basically an old portugese farm whereof two of the main buildings are rented out and the other main building is where the owners live, they are on the other side of the inner square of the house, you wont notice they are around. - The owners speak french and portugese but no english, however they are the nicest couple. They even made us a warm cake after a day or two being there! - The location is about 20-30 minutes from the center of Porto but Braga and Guimaraes are both beautiful cities too and both within appr. 30 - 45 distance too. - You will need a car / van/etc. to get around, sure public transport is an option, but no, not really. - Overall, amazing house, 12 people (assuming they can share double beds (e.g. couples or children) can easily stay there, we were with 4 teenage kids, which meant they all had there own room and almost all there own bathroom. - HIGHLY recommended for larger families!! P.S. Helder is a familymember too and is the one who does speak english and will be your main contact for the house.

MAGNIFIQUE/SPENDIDE
Nous sommes partis quelques jours entre amis à la découverte de Porto. Le domaine est magnifique, tout y est pour passer un agréable séjour. Le jardin est splendide et très bien entretenu, sans compter la piscine que nous avons apprécié, même en ce mois d'octobre. Immense pièce à vivre avec billard! Des chambres spacieuses avec salles de bain attenantes et d'une très grande propreté. Selon le contrat de location, nous aurions dû arriver à 15h. Sébastian et sa femme nous ont chaleureusement ouvert les portes du domaine à 9h et le jour du départ, nous avons pu profiter des lieux jusqu'à 17h. Un immense merci à eux deux. A notre arrivée, Carla nous a préparé un délicieux repas, servi sur nappe blanche, que du bonheur! Les propriétaires sont d'une immense gentillesse et amabilité. Nous remercions également Helder pour l'organisation. Nous recommandons vivement cette location et espérons y retourner très vite. Laurence & Co

Traumanwesen für eine große Familie
Das Anwesen ist wunderbar! Durch ein eineinhalb Jahrhundert altes Tor gelangt man auf das Gelände eines ehemaligen Nonnenkloster. Es ist wie der Eintritt in eine Oase. Schon die Auffahrt ist wunderschön bepflanzt. Durch ein zweites Tor gelangt man in den großen Innenhof. Dort gibt es unter anderem Zitronenbäume, eine Vogelvolière und einen überdachter Grill mit Essplatz, wo wir viele tolle Abende verbracht haben. Vom Innenhof aus gelangt man in das Pool Haus, in das Haupthaus, es gibt einen Zugang zu dem zum Haus gehörenden Garten mit Pool und Tennisplatz; rechts vom Innenhof befindet sich der Eingang zum Hause der Vermieter. Das wichtigste zuerst: Das Eigentümer Ehepaar ist einfach wunderbar! So viel Gastfreundschaft, Herzlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft haben wir selten erlebt. Unsere vierjährige Tochter wäre bei Sebastian und Maria am liebsten eingezogen. Zurück zum Haus: alle Zimmer sind sehr hübsch eingerichtet, die Küche ist voll ausgestattet, der Grill ist hervorragend, der Pool ist wunderschön und unsere Kinder – Im Alter zwischen vier und 17 – haben dort, auf dem Tennisplatz, beim Tischtennis, Pool Billard oder beim Verstecken-Spiel auf dem weitläufigen Grundstück tolle Tage verbracht. Keiner wollte zurück. Und wer Kinder hat weiß - sind die Kinder glücklich und beschäftigt - wird es zum richtig guten Urlaub. Wir waren mit 11 Personen dort und der Platz war mehr als ausreichend. Wir haben einmal den „Koch-Service“ in Anspruch genommen, und auch das war sehr, sehr gut und reichlich. Der Tisch war liebevoll gedeckt, es gab viele verschiedene Landestypische Vorspeisen, Auf keinen Fall sollte man sich den Cheesecake entgehen lassen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Happy Holiday
It was a beautiful property and very well looked after, with everything we needed. Pool was spotless. Very easy to get to airport, beach and into Porto. Not the most scenic immediate area but in the villa you are totally secluded and there are two big supermarkets within walking distance so shopping easy. Owner delightful, as was his dog!
