Ask a questionAbout Diane Wilkes Rodrigues
Casa Lumi was built in 2002 and designed by ourselves, we installed the pool a few years later and keep adding new additions every year. We are a family of four, with two boys. Our dream was to build a house and enjoy this region of the North of Portugal that is still totally unspoilt by tourism. There is so much to see and do, either by visiting the cities or exploring the National Park with plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied. We hope you will enjoy your stay as much as we do. We also donate at least one week a year for charity and this year we have helped Prostate cancer at a charity auction.
Diane Wilkes Rodrigues purchased this Villa in 2002
Why Diane Wilkes Rodrigues chose Souto
This region of North Portugal is still untouched by tourist prices, example of some prices: Less than one euro : white coffee, tea, soft drinks, bottle of beer or draught beer. Average bottle of wine in a restaurant around 6€, a set menu for lunch with wine and coffee 6€ per person. The euro definitely goes further in the North than in the Algarve. We have a guest book with recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. We can assist with booking restaurants for you or order that special cake for example for a celebratory occasion.
What makes this Villa unique
Newly built Summer terrace to enjoy the wonderful outside with views of the mountains and sunset and newly built shaded BBQ area complete with sink and our own unique olive trunk table. We aim to make the villa as comfortable as possible and hope that we have provided everything you need to feel at home and relax. Help yourselves to the oranges and lemons from the trees for fresh orange juice in the morning or for the perfect gin and tonic. Depending on the season, please help yourselves to avocados from our avocado tree and passion fruits in the summer
