Accommodation: Old rustic house and typical of the houses of the North of Portugal, I renovated this small "quinta" in order to keep the authenticity of the local culture while modernizing the comfort and the habitat for more well-being. No internet or television to treat yourself to a real detox cure in the middle of the Minho mountains, 15 minutes from the ocean! It is made up of 2 floors. On the garden level, a relaxation area with bay window, fireplace and stereo for music lovers. A large double bedroom (160 bed) and a shower room between white and wood. Upstairs, there is another double bedroom (140 cm bed), a bedroom with a pull-out bed that opens to make 2 single beds (ideal for children), another shower room. There is also the living room with table, bench and armchair opening onto a large picture window. The kitchen is new and fully equipped and for lovers of the authentic, there is an old bread oven for making pizzas and meats. Outside there is a large terrace with wooden table and a second terrace which overlooks the valley with sun loungers. Parking for 2 cars is located at the entrance of the house.
Around : At the gate of the house, there is a small path that leads directly to a small mount of eucalyptus and fir trees. By borrowing it after a 10-minute walk, you will find a relaxation area with a natural water pool and stone tables for picnics. For lovers of swimming in the river, you will find river beaches from 10 minutes by car on the Lima river. The Ocean and the beach is a 15 minute drive. For those who prefer the mountains, the house is located 45 minutes from the Geres park.

Nous avons été accueillis (en français!) par les parents du propriétaire, extrêmement chaleureux et disponibles ! Le propriétaire était aussi préoccupé et attentif à notre bien être, disponible si nous avions une question.
La maison est très bien équipée, pour y vivre et non comme une location. Tout est soigné, adapté, de qualité (literie, vaisselle, électro ménager...).
L'environnement est agréable dans un village rural. Les voisins ont été très accueillants lors de la semaine de fête patronale.
Cette maison permet de rayonner largement, en voiture, vers la côte, Porto, le Nord... L'accès à la maison, en voiture, est un peu difficile. Les nuits restent fraîches et agréables.
Le seul bémol est la présence, dans le village, de chiens et de coqs bruyants.
The house is very nice and beautifully located. The host was very helpful and responsive. We had a great time. Our children enjoyed the garden and the lemons falling from the lemon tree. Thank you!
Estuvimos ,en familia, unos días en esta maravillosa casa y el tiempo que pasamos fue maravilloso. Realmente es un lugar para desconectar, desintoxicarte de movil e internet y simplemente disfrutan de las vistas, la casa y la música.
Los paseos por los alrededores son maravillosos y la zona es muy bonita y verde. Una vez que entras en la casa no tienes muchas gana de salir ya que cada rincón de la casa sugiere cosas nuevas y la música junto el entorno te hacen disfrutar mucho. La casa es muy cómoda y muy bien decorada, con miles de detalles a todos los niveles. Los padres de Jean Philippe son muy agradables y te dan una cálida bienvenida. Recomiendo 100% la casa si quieres disfrutar de un maravilloso entorno, disfrutar del tiempo, desconectar del stress y conecta contigo mismo.
Muchas gracias Jean Philippe
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison typique pleine de charme. Proche des principaux lieux touristiques de la région, la maison a l’avantage d’être un peu dans l’arrière pays ce qui offre une tranquillité absolument géniale. Belle terrasse avec superbe vue. Jean-Philippe nous a donné plein de conseils de visite.
sitio ideal para quem pretende escapar da balburdia citadina
