Special Stay in Northern Portugal
It was a very special time for us to be in Fatima’s “A Casita” for our winter rental of nearly 3 months. The house is one of the most attractive we’ve rented during almost 50 years of travel. It has everything in the ways of convenience and need--- light, roominess, comfortable furnishings, exceedingly well-stocked kitchen, large bathrooms, washing machine and dryer, reliable high-speed internet, private parking. Too, there are delightful hangings and a wonderful variety of objects all around the house. And to start every day, while making coffee in the morning you’re treated to watching the sun rise over the forever green field below. The area is a hiker’s delight with many, many trails along the ocean coast and rivers and in the nearby hills and mountains. The entire region, in fact, is richly filled with varied villages, towns, and landscapes. Viana do Castello is the close go-to city, and other cities of historical significance, attractiveness, markets, and shops are not very far away: Ponte de Lima, Caminha, Valenca, Esposende, Barcelos, Braga, Guimaraes. Added to all of this is Fatima’s kindness, thoughtfulness, and helpfulness. Simply put: our entire stay, day after day, was pure pleasure.
