What can I say? We had all we needed and more for a lovely week in a real country house with the comfort of a home. We enjoyed the generous hospitality of our host. I love knowing about peoples stories so I also enjoyed the couple of conversations I had with her and her partner. All was thought of and whenever we needed anything there was always a solution ready. The many enthusiastic and grateful comments (and kids drawings!) that I spotted on the guest book converged very much with our experience. A place to return when we have the chance!

Staying at Casa da Bouça was a blessing for a much needed week of rest. The house was lovely and everything we needed was provided. We had the flexibility and warmth of our host (including necessary ingredients for breakfast the first day(s)). Our kid was overjoyed to be able to swim every morning and in the evening we fell asleep in the fragrance of the clean sheets and of the quiet outside.

Das Haus liegt sehr gut zwischen Braga und Porto. Atlantik 25 Minuten, Penedes de Gerres 45 Minuten, schöne Städte 20 Minuten.
Maria and her husband's cottage is cozy, if a little old-fashioned. It is in an idyllic location and has a very nice outdoor area. The pool is a dream. The kitchen is functional, not for amateur chefs. Maria and her husband are super nice hosts. They are very helpful and always available. The Vino Verde is very tasty!!!
Das Häuschen von Maria und ihrem Mann ist gemütlich, wenn auch etwas altmodisch eingerichtet. Es liegt idyllisch und hat einen sehr schönen Aussenbereich. Der Pool ist ein Traum. Die Küche ist funktionell, nichts für Hobbyköche. Maria und ihr Mann sind super nette Gastgeber. Sie sind sehr hilfsbereit und immer ansprechbar. Der Vino Verde ist sehr lecker!!!
