Barcelos: villaer

This villa is fantastic and very modern. It is very spacious and clean and the kitchen is well equiped. There are many activities both indoor and outdoor with the pool, tennis court and football field and indoor with the combined table for pool and table tennis. We all enjoyed these activities very much, especially the teenagers. We also enjoyed the covered terrace very much. It is just a short walk to the beach which is nice with a board walk along the coast line. The villa is within a one hour drive from the center of Porto which is a very beautiful city.

We were a big family group of 23 persons from 1 to 70 years of age. There were plenty of bathrooms - the grown ups had seperate rooms, and the teenagers shared their rooms but it worked well. It is a very charming house with lots of space especially outside. The garden is quite exceptionel, very extensive, romantic with a mazelike character, fruittrees, football ground and two stonepools, which everybody loved for refreshing or playing. We had all our meals outside under a roof or on the big terrasse in the open. Paolo was very helpful with everything, and we had very good breakfast with freshly pressed orangejuice etc served every day. Dinner was an option too. It is highly recomendable for a big group with a lot of different activities. Of course you have to keep a very vigilant eye on a small child regarding one of the pools that is rather easily accessible.
