Excellent stay

The communication with the owner from the time we booked until check-out was excellent. The service provided was top-notch. The location is excellent, and the place is absolutely gorgeous, offering endless views of the mountains. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to experience rural Portugal. We will be back for sure.

My stay at Anissó

Unique place in a village! Very quiet and peaceful setting with a stunning view of a valley. Dona Cila was particularly helpful and pleasant! The access to the place was a bit challenging. Other than that we enjoyed it very much.

You decided to follow the GPS instead of the indications I provided, which warn visitors not to enter narrow streets. Even so, some guests seem to prefer getting stuck on the way, instead of following the indications. This behaviour always puzzles me

Site agréable. Bon accueil. Accès en côte et sinueux en voiture. La maison est juste en taille et en équipement pour 6 personnes (lits en 120/180, pas d'étagères de rangement). Point d'améliorations : un étendage à linge (autre que les fils du voisin), et le fonctionnement du parasol; A noter: Nous sommes arrivés au moment des 3 jours de fête annuelle à Anisso avec une diffusion très sonore via Haut parleurs en journée.

O lugar é Lugar a Paisagem de tirar o fôlego, mas para chegar é bem complicado, estreito e fica no top da montanha, ideal para casais, pessoas de idade com dificuldade de mobilidade não recomendo. Mas para casais apaixonados é uma aventura é tanto.

Excelent ! We strongly recommend. Recomendamos com certeza !

Owner and his assistant Cila were always available and very attentive. Property has just been remodeled. The days we spent there were particularly hot days. We suggested owner to provide a couple of fans to what owner was promptly responsive. This property is located on a cozy small country village where one listens to the church bells and can collect fresh drinking water at a nearby spring. Yet it is not far away from the town of Vieria do Minho where one has access to restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.
