This property is in a beautiful location and was ideal for our 2 families to meet up for a long weekend. The kitchen is well equipped and we really appreciated it being stocked with things like salt, pepper, oil, tea & coffee and laundry tablets etc we did a lovely walk from the doorstep and drove into the national park for another spectacular hike. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your kind comments, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Lumi and would welcome you to stay again at any time
We had a lovely time at casa lumi, such a stunning and unspoiled area of Portugal. Our family enjoyed hikes to amazing waterfalls, swims in the river homem, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and visits to Braga and Guimares. The house itself is perfect for 8 people, spacious and well equipped with a beautiful garden area/pool with gorgeous views. Diane was very helpful and responsive to any queries. The local pizza restaurant and O Vaticano were great. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to escape the crowds and holiday in beautiful nature!

Logement irréprochable et parfaitement conforme à la description. Attention cependant pour les voyageurs au sommeil léger, car l' environnement extérieur est assez sonore ( chiens du voisinage jour/nuit , et cloches de l' église de 7h à 22h)
Ficamos fascinados com a casa! Tivemos uma semana espectacular e será sem dúvida uma experiência a repetir.

We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Lumi, we look forward to welcoming you back and thank you so much for the comments :)
Casa e ambiente agradável. No entanto, em dias muito quentes sentimos a falta do ar condicionado e o sino da igreja toca extremamente cedo para quem está de férias. Restaurantes muito bons e proximos da casa.
Excelente alojamento, com ótimas condições para famílias com crianças que adoraram o espaço exterior. Proprietária muito atenciosa e disponível. Esperamos regressar em breve. Obrigada Diane

A week of paradise
We arrived quite late & were pleased to have the welcome pack there. The villa is very spacious & the pool area lovely. Local restaurants were very good especially with the local beer at 1 Euro, food is amazing.
We had a fantastic holiday and hope to return again.

Lovely casa in an equally lovely unspoilt partof northern Portugal
Very well equipped, plenty of space inside and out. The views are stunning of the mountain ranges. Walking distance to 3 places to eat, though bbq area at Casa is fab for chilling in the evenings.

Super
Lovely remote setting in the hills. Peaceful and relaxing holiday had by all. Didn't need a watch as the charming church bells allowed me to keep times. Locals very pleasant and friendly with bread van and fresh fish brought to the local square each morning. The local eateries are reasonably priced with large portions of good local wholesome food. We loved the BBQ area and pool with fresh oranges and lemons growing in the garden and lovely views of green hills. The national park is beautiful and will return definitely.

Beautifully relaxing
This was our first visit to Portugal and whilst it was November we were very lucky with the weather, the villa is large airy and also cosy too in the evening with the log fire burning away. The little village of souto was so friendly with a festival taking place over the weekend we stayed and we were invited to take part in drinking all the local wines they had made together with BBQ and roasted chestnut and dancing it was such a wonderful evening despite them speaking little English and us speaking no Portuguese. We could not believe how cheap it was to eat & drink out there, the wine in the nearby supermarket started from 1 Euro a bottle! We ate out at the pizzeria which is a short walk away but the owner gave us a free lift back up the steep hill, everyone if just so friendly. We also ate twice in the Ovaticano restaurant who's meze meal is huge and so welcoming for my husbands birthday which resulted in them all singing and presenting him with a cake. We also went to Geres for a spa day, which was very relaxing. I would also recommend Quinta Cova de Raposa for the wine tasting tour in Braga which was such a lovely day. Thank you Diane for everything we love your villa and will definitely be back, highly recommended.

"EXCELENT"
Beautiful Villa, garden end swimming pool. a place to come back to, in beautiful North Portugal. Non touristic, you can have long walks in the mountains, taste wine at the neighbors, enjoy the lovely flowers and have a good bbq in the garden. We stayed for two weeks last summer and will be back this summer.

Great stay in North Portugal
We had a lovely two weeks staying in this very light and spacious villa with great mountain views. The children made good use of the pool table in the games room and the swimming pool and we enjoyed many barbecues on the kitchen veranda next to the orange and lemon trees.There are some very good local restaurants within walking distance (especially O Vaticano opposite the villa) all of which are reasonably priced, the local shop stocks basic items and bread from the daily van is a must ! We found plenty to do in the area and particularly enjoyed swimming in the local rivers and lake at Rio Caldo. This is a great place to stay if you want to experience the non-touristy Portugal where very little English is spoken and 1 euro will buy a bottle of beer or a glass of vinho verde !
