Disappointed that pictures of garden did not reflect that middle section between house and pool was fenced off and included a property that the host lived in.Also no mention of building works on neighbouring property that was right next to pool with no screening.Really disappointed that property was described as quiet and romantic when really load music and singing regularly occured. Not a relaxing break!

We spent a dream vacation week, wonderfully relaxing in this stone house that exactly matches the photos and description; it is beautifully located. The house is fully furnished and equipped. We lacked nothing. All the appliances worked perfectly! The property is located among the vineyards, in a quiet neighborhood, and offers breathtaking views of the Lima Valley and the Roman bridge of Ponte de Lima. It is planted with fruit trees, oleanders, and olive trees. The owners, Detlev and Mei, who live in the neighboring house, are very helpful and discreet and gave us many tips. In summary, the house is highly recommended, and the area offers many activities (beautiful beaches, ancient villages, hikes in the national park, bike rides along the Lima River). Ponte de Lima is a lively little town with several restaurants and supermarkets. You will find everything you need there. A car is essential.The owner, Mei, is very kind, welcoming, available, and discreet. The house is simply magnificent, the view of the Ponté de Lima is sublime, the vegetation is incredible and there are plenty of things to do and see. We highly recommend this place, thank you very much, see you soon

El alojamiento es lo que buscábamos visto en su conjunto: una casa en la montaña, rodeada de árboles frutales y jardines y con piscina. El equipamiento de la casa es enorme, cualquier cosa que puedas necesitar la tiene. Pero también tiene sus puntos débiles y para mi uno ha sido importante: el colchón. Creo que ya ha llegado el momento de cambiarlo. Llegué con necesidad de descansar y no conseguí dormir del todo bien ninguna noche. El otro a mi no me ha afectado porque no lo he utilizado, pero el segundo dormitorio está en una planta inferior que tiene olores de humedad. El trato con el anfitrión fue excelente y una gozada levantarte cada mañana y poder coger una pera o una manzana directamente del árbol.

Het huis zelf was netjes en had alle benodigde faciliteiten.De foto's van de tuin, het zwembad en de directe omgeving waren niet volledig cfm de werkelijkheid. De fotos gaven niets aan van het in aanbouw zijnde huis direct naast de property en gaven ook niets aan van het andere huis van de host/eigenaar direct naast het property. Beide liggen direct naast het zwembad en beperkten de vrijheid. Dit was volledig niet zichtbaar op de fotos. Bovendien waren de terrassen met trappen tussen de terrassen niet zo herkenbaar / open en bruikbaar als op de fotos aangegeven. Het romantische gevoel in de tuin werd zo wel wat te niet gedaan.Het (mooie) uitzicht over de vallei was wel goed.Ook de contacten, communicatie en support met onze host (Mei) namens de eigenaar Detlev was goed.Ook Detlev zelf nam vooraf nog netjes contact op.

Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Der herrliche Garten und traumhafte Ausblick auf das Tal und Ponte de Lima haben sehr zu Entspannung und Entschleunigung beigetragen. Dank des Pools waren die hohen Temperaturen gut auszuhalten. Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Urlaubsort - das Haus könnte allerdings ein wenig Auffrischung/ Renovierung vertragen.

Entspannte Ferien in Nordportugal

Wir hatten in dem toll gelegenen Steinhaus einen wunderbar erholsamen 3-wöchigen Urlaub. Das Haus ist komplett eingerichtet, geradezu üppig sind Geschirr und Küchenutensilien vorhanden. Wir haben gar nichts vermisst. Alle Geräte haben bestens funktioniert, auch Wasserzuläufe und Abflüsse waren einwandfrei. Die Dusche war 1A!! Das Grundstück liegt mitten in Weinbergen völlig ruhig mit sensationellem Blick über das Limatal und die römische Brücke von Ponte de Lima. Es ist bewachsen mit Obstbäumen, Oleander und Olivenbäumen. Der sehr hilfsbereite und gleichzeitig zurückhaltende Eigentümer, der im Nachbarhaus wohnt, hat uns viele Tipps gegeben. Insgesamt ist das Haus sehr empfehlenswert und die Gegend für viele Aktivitäten attraktiv (tolle Strände, alte Städte, Wandern im Nationalpark, Fahrradfahren am Lima entlang). Ponte de Lima ist eine kleine quirlige Stadt mit ettlichen Restaurants und Supermärkten. Man bekommt alles, was man braucht. PKW ist unbedingt erforderlich.

Ruhe und Idylle

Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche in dem sehr geschmackvoll renovierten Steinhaus verlebt. Der Garten und die Aussicht auf das Tal und Weinberge sind sehr schön. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hat viele Tipps parat. Ponte de Lima ist ein sehr hübsches Städtchen. Man kann im Fluss baden oder auch den Jakobsweg ein Stück entlang wandern, der durch diesen Ort führt. Auch zu anderen Städten und zu vielen schönen Stränden ist es nicht weit. Nordportugal hat uns insgesamt sehr gut gefallen und wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Idyllisches Häuschen

Sehr entspannende Woche, die Lage des Hauses ist kaum zu überbieten! Sehr zuvorkommender Vermieter, hat uns gleich unsere vergessenen Sachen nachgeschickt - DANKE nochmals dafür! Kleines "Aber": das Haus könnte ein bissl einen "Relaunch" vertragen (z.B. neue Pölster & Teppiche, neuer Duschvorhang im Keller oder ein wenig neue Farbe in der Küche). Der Hund des Besitzers ist allerliebst - wir wollten ihn schon fast mitnehmen :-)
