The Fox House - Exclusivity & Nature

After enjoying the Viking River Cruise from Porto for a week, we were thrilled to have a home base at The Fox House close to Sao Pedro do Sul.

The owners, Miquel and Mafalda, met us at The Fox Club House for champagne before taking us on a tour of the property and house. Each room had an en-suite and each entertainment area had restrooms available. The view was phenomenal. We enjoyed many mornings out on the deck overlooking the valley and pool. Each time we went outdoors, I took my camera and discovered new photo opportunities.

The housekeeper made us breakfast every morning ( cold cuts and pastries). It was a very much appreciated beginning to our day. She cleaned up our rooms while we ate and drank coffee, and afterwards cleared the table. She was a pleasure to be around.

We traveled daily to many of the suggested communities in the area. It took less than an hour to travel to Costa Nova, where we enjoyed the restaurant Nori, and bought sardines and red fish from the fish market to cook on the outside fire Barbeque. So Much Fun!!!

Thank- you for a wonderful 5 nights. We did not want to leave.

Also, we enjoyed one fantastic dinner at the Fox House where the owner and chef from The Palace Restaurant served fantastic prawn salad and monkfish and prawn stew ( requested by us).

Cheers!

Stunning villa with amazing attention to detail. Mafalda and Miguel were there to welcome us with champagne and to show us around which was so nice after a long drive from the UK. The spacious bedrooms and bathrooms were cool (air con) and furnished beautifully. The swimming pool was clean and the sun beds were very comfortable with each having an additional pool towel. The pool area including additional shower and toilet facilities. Superb outside BBQ area adjacent to outside dining area. The "Fox Club" included a great party room with dining, seating and large TV screen for sports enthusiasts. We had a superb chef who was able to use the additional professional kitchen. Mafalda was kind enough to organise the chef who was exceptional and provided us with the most amazing meal. The housekeeper was a gem. We were served with the most delicious breakfast every morning, something we were not expecting. We were spoilt with superb service, more like a five star hotel ! Thank you, it truly was the most relaxing holiday and we would have no hesitation in recommending to our friends and family.

We had an unforgettable time at the Fox House. Everything was amazing! The house, the spaces, the weather! Mafalda and Miguel are excellent hosts! We would love to come back to the Fox House.

The Fox House is perhaps the most beautiful home we’ve ever stayed in. The ancient stone walls, the gorgeous antiques, the bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom are all perfection. The grounds are beautiful. The pool is great. We loved waking up to the amazing breakfast spread every morning on the outdoor table. The Fox Club (an adjacent building) was fun to retire to at night for games. The location is very rural and peaceful. About an hour from Porto. We really loved visiting the hot spring spa and swimming in the natural swimming hole at Poco Azul. But the house was so great we didn’t even want to leave.
