Beautiful location surrounded by greenery, peaceful and quiet.Everything you need within 10 minutes.Great family holiday for 5 adults and 5 children. AMAZING!

Emily’s Apartment, was perfect for our seven day stay in Viana do Castelo. Luisa and José met us upon our arrival and directed to our parking space. They also aquatinted us to the apartment. The bottle of wine and chocolates were much appreciated. The apartment is very clean and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Most anything you want to see or do is a short walk once you step outside the door. I highly recommend this little gem to anyone staying in Viana do Castelo.

We had a lovely stay, with a friendly host who made sure we had information about the surrounding areas and places to visit. This is the first time a host had spent time with us in the evening for a glass of wine and talking.

Beautiful surroundings and well maintained pool and gardens. There are three really good restaurants and tapas bars in walking distance. Pam was very helpful with suggestions of where to visit and eat out. We swam in the river most days and enjoyed driving over the border to Portugal for the beaches and market. A very relaxing holiday.

Jose fully deserves to be rated as a ‘super host’. The property exceeded our expectations and Jose was a generous and thoughtful host. The property is extremely comfortable and well-equipped (including a superb music selection!), conveniently close to a supermarket (though Jose also provides restaurant recommendations) and the garden is a beautiful and relaxing space in which to eat or simply ‘chill’ after enjoying a walk along the coast. We also appreciated the loan of bicycles. We had a really super week. Thank you, Jose!

Rui was a great host, very helpful with suggestions for local area. Rustic house overlooking the sea. Several terraced areas to enjoy the views, relax under the shady vine or sunbath on an upper terrace. Well equipped and lots of attention to detail, eg areas to put a parasol, seat cushions for sun beds even shower soap, washing liquid etc. Best sandy beach to right of the house is approx 15min walk over rocks and path. House is spacious on three levels. We could relax separately from our teens if needed but I would not necessarily recommend for toddlers due to terraces and steps. Lots a character and excellent sea view, with a dramatic rocky coastline. Website images do not do it justice.
