Ganz tolle Unterkunft in einer genialen Umgebung! Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Der Pool ist unglaublich. Er ist riesig, ideal zum Schwimmen und Spaß haben. Die Wohnung ist auch riesig und hat drei Badezimmer. Alles topp. Auch die Außenanlagen sind topp. Der Ort selbst ist wunderbar. Die Einheimischen super hilfsbereit, nett und noch überhaupt nicht durch Tourismus betroffen. Man kann so richtig eintauchen in diese Gemeinschaft.

Superbe endroit et hôtes très accueillants

Casa Brandao est un lieu magnifique les extérieurs sont très beaux la piscine superbe et l’emplacement est idéal pour visiter le nord du Portugal. L’appartement est très très spacieux et très bien équipé. Les hôtes Mita et Antonio sont adorables et plein d’attentions. Il y a 2 appartements à louer dans la maison alors beaucoup de place dans la très belle piscine. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille, gâtés et dans un havre de paix ! Nous y retournerons sans faute !

Desde já queria agradecer a simpatia e a boa hospitalidade que D.Arminda e Sr.António nos ofereceram. Passamos 5 dias magnificos. Sentimo-nos como se estivéssemos em casa. Ótimas condições, dentro e fora de casa com 3 simpáticos cães " Joli, Picasso e a Branquinha" mas de realçar uma piscina fantástica. Aconselhamos vivamente para quem quer descansar e desfrutar de um pouco de sossego.
