Located in the heart of the Minho, this authentic nature house combines rustic charm with modern comfort, surrounded by green fields and mountains. It is a private haven where you can fully unwind and enjoy silence and nature. Inside you will find a warm and inviting atmosphere, with natural materials, traditional details and a bright, open layout. All rooms are air-conditioned for extra comfort. The old threshing floor and the espigueiro give the house a unique character. The living room and playroom invite you to relax moments with family or friends, while the saltwater pool provides refreshment and pure enjoyment. On the terrace you can read a book in peace, eat together or just enjoy the view. At sunset the fields and mountains turn golden - a special moment of silence and beauty that makes every day feel different.

    We give our stay a 9 because we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the peace and quiet, and the special atmosphere of the house for three weeks. The location in the authentic village, the view of the valley and the mountains, the beautiful garden, and the pool made our stay extra special.

    The house is spacious and has a lot of character thanks to its authentic and historic charm. The combination of peace and quiet, nature, and the village atmosphere allowed us to truly relax here. The friendly and helpful owners also contributed to a pleasant stay. Whenever we ran into any issues, they were quick to offer advice and assistance.

    The combination of tranquility, nature, space, atmosphere, and the beautiful location ensured that we had a wonderful vacation and would definitely recommend this place.

    As a family of five, along with our dog, we spent three wonderful weeks in this vacation home. What a beautiful place! The house is located in a quiet, authentic little village, with a fantastic view of the valley and the mountains. The sunsets were special every single evening. The house is spacious, cozy, and fully equipped. Its authentic and historic character gives it so much charm. The beautiful, blooming garden and the pool made our stay complete. The pool was cleaned regularly, and swimming and play equipment were provided. The outdoor area with the barbecue was also wonderful for dining together. Because of its authentic character, not everything is equally modern, but for us, that’s part of the charm. Whenever we ran into any issues, we were able to contact the owners easily and quickly. They were very helpful and came up with solutions right away. We enjoyed the incredible peace and quiet, the nature, the flora and fauna, and the villagers.

    In 1 word: sublime! Never before have we stayed in such a large, fully equipped and characteristic old vacation home. Beautiful views also from the balcony. And fine barbecue available. In real life the house is much larger and more beautiful than in the pictures. After a very warm welcome with a surprise basket full of goodies, we and the children enjoyed this place for a week. The saltwater pool (so no strong chlorine smell or dry skin) and the play basement with pool table (not a table tennis table as it says in the text, which appears to be a translation error) were a great success. The mattresses are firm, which I personally liked. Over an hour's drive from the beautiful city of Porto. And also closer to home there is much to see and experience. The hostess gives great tips for this. We did not have a dog with us but even that could have been good, with an outlet field opposite the cottage. I would definitely recommend it and do not rule out coming again.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Beautiful view from the balcony. Complete privacy. Quiet surroundings. Wake up to the sound of birds and cow bells in the distance.

    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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is quietly located and offers to support the feeling of nature: whistling swallows, tinkling bells of the cows and croaking frogs. Delightful!
