About this property

Great-grandfather Brandão's house

Casa Brandão, the home of our great-grandparents
Here, so close to the centre of Vale de Cambra, with one foot by the river and the other in the house’s courtyard, we spent our childhood holidays. At the first call from Aunt Rosinha, we’d drop everything—the fishing rod, our bikes, and—dragging our playmates along—we’d run to a plate of roast veal, a dish so typical of the region, a piece of marmalade, or a slice of her delicious chocolate roll.
We grew up and wanted to honour this legacy, so we renovated and modernised the holiday home of our childhood to make it possible to continue inviting people from near and far to create new memories there....
Welcome!

Amazing getaway!

Set in a little town surrounded with mountains, this house is the perfect getaway from the hustle of the city. The house is simply magnificent and it's spacious enough to fit a small group (we were 7). All the rooms are super comfortable (even the small single one) and the suites are big and spacious. The house is fitted with AC in every room so we were never cold and the smart TV allowed us to connect our streaming platforms for some cozy night ins. The private parking fits up to 4 cars and its big lawns are perfect for pets or lounging in the Summer. The owner was extremely nice, greeting us at check in and check out and helped us find our way around town for the best places to eat. The location of the house is close to petrol stations, supermarkets and restaurants so you will have everything you need. I would like to thank the amazing hospitality shown and i would recommend this property for a family or a small groups of friends.
