2 beautiful individual houses and not just one big one with lots of rooms squeezed in - here you have all the benefits! No need to queue for a bathroom or to eat the same food as everyone else. Each house is as good as the other and is fully equipped - everything is in duplicate but totally different. You can come on holiday with people you love but one group can be in the main house and one group can be in the Pool House - you can flit from one to the other (not even 1 minute apart).
The farm is in a beautiful setting - there's lots to do around the house (walks, pool, bread man/ fish monger coming to our door, Taipas spa nearby, churches and world heritage monuments within 10 minutes. There is a brand new Netflix/party room, where you can enjoy wine and cheese tastings. You can also use the room for exercise - yoga, skipping - it's all there for your benefit.
You're welcome to join V. on her daily dog walks through the forest behind the house.
Near here there is a bit of everything: nature - Gerês; cities - Braga, Guimarães, Viana, and Porto; the seaside - Esposende, Apúlia, Ofir, Viana do Castelo.
As these are two independent houses, one person won't end up looking after everyone - each house has its own dishwasher and washing machine/clothes line.
Here you can be sure you'll arrive to a warm welcome, lots of goodies from the farm (oranges, lemons, eggs, wine) and individual attention. If you need advice about how the TV works, or how the washing machine or dishwasher works - you'll see the owners around and they are more than happy to help you out.
This is a good central base to explore the North of Portugal - many people just like to stay around (as the setting is quite idyllic), visit the countryside around and come back home to relax and enjoy what the farm has to offer.
