This nature house models the typical beauty of the Minho region. The house is located in a beautiful spot, surrounded by the acclaimed green fields as found in this region. It is a historic house with many characteristic details, but it has been adapted to modern times and equipped with all the comforts for comfortable enjoyment. On the estate you will find a covered area and the threshing floor where once the grain was laid out to dry and also the large, special "espigueiro"; these are the typical, oblong silos of this region where the grain, and especially corn, was then stored. The people of Abadim are warm and cheerful; they are simple and hospitable people who live largely from farming and animal husbandry. They often carry out their tasks in a very traditional way, and you will frequently see cows and goats grazing in the adjacent pastures.
Nature and surroundings
Three kilometers away from the house, still within the village limits of Abadim, you can visit several water mills built by order of King Rei D. Diniz (13th century) and thus bearing the name "Moinhos de Rei," or the king's mills. They are scattered in an extensive, protected forest area of the same name.Along routes you will also get to know the rich variety of flora and fauna found in the Serra da Cabreira. At some distance there are two beautiful national parks, Alvão and Peneda-Gerês.The attractive geographical location of the nature house allows you to enjoy both the beneficial tranquility of the countryside and the mountains, as well as the proximity of beautiful cities with a rich offer of historical heritage, such as Porto, Braga and Guimarães. The coast, with beautiful beaches, can be reached in 45 minutes.A 10-minute drive away, in Cabeceiras de Basto, you can do your shopping and there is a weekly market with local products.

Ellen July 24, 2025 General rating:Never before have we stayed in a cottage so well equipped. Everything was provided. I love to cook and there really was nothing missing to create deliciousness for my 7 person party. The game room is also fantastic. The house is very well maintained, very clean and large enough to get lost in. Furthermore, Teresa is a fantastic hostess who is very approachable and left an incredibly welcoming feeling. I could only recommend this house and would love to stay there again myself.
Nooit eerder verbleven wij in een huisje dat zo goed geëquipeerd was. Alles is voorzien. Ik hou ervan om te koken en er was echt niets dat ik miste om voor mijn 7 koppige gezelschap heerlijkheid te creëren. Ook de spelltjeskelder is fantastisch. Het huis wordt erg goed onderhouden, is erg proper en groot genoeg om in te verdwalen. Verder is Teresa een fantastische gastvrouw die zeer bereikbaar is en een ongelooflijk welkom gevoel achterliet. Ik zou dit huis enkel maar kunnen aanraden en zou er erg graag zelf ook nog eens een keertje terug verblijven.
Nature, peace & environment:The cottage is quietly located and offers to support the feeling of nature: whistling swallows, tinkling bells of the cows and croaking frogs. Delightful!
Het huisje is rustig gelegen en biedt ter ondersteuning van het natuurgevoel: fluitende zwaluwen, rinkelende bellen van de koeien en kwakende kikkers. Heerlijk!

Prachtig groot huis wat in werkelijkheid veel mooier is dan op de foto's.
Het zwembad is ook heerlijk.

Op 10 minuten rijden zijn 2 supermarkten waar alles te krijgen is.This text is automatically translated. -
Rachel April 25, 2025 General rating:We enjoyed the house and surroundings, and the very welcoming reception and help and tips from Teresa. In summer the house is even nicer we think, in the heat it must be lovely and cool and dark.
We hebben genoten van huis en omgeving, en de zeer gastvrije ontvangst en hulp en tips van Teresa. In de zomer is het huis nog fijner denken wij, in de hitte is het dan vast heerlijk koel en donker.
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful large old country house in traditional North Portuguese style with very many rooms, beautifully decorated with lots of wood and fully equipped.
Prachtig groot oud landhuis in traditionele Noord- Portugese stijl met zeer veel kamers, mooi ingericht met veel hout en van alle gemakken voorzien.
