I can only say it again—I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. We would have loved to do even more.
Ich kann mich nur wiederholen - jederzeit wieder. Wir hätten gerne noch mehr unternommen.
Helena and Luis gave us a very warm welcome, and we felt right at home. The location and the view are fantastic. Helena is very helpful and happy to give tips on activities, shopping, and anything else you can think of. We paddled the SUPs on the river, strolled through Amarante, and went on day trips around the area. Unfortunately, our time was too short, but that’s just another reason to come back. Thank you so much for having us as your guests. The Müller Family
Wir wurden von Helena und Luis sehr gastfreundlich empfangen und haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Die Lage und die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Helena ist sehr hilfsbereit und gibt gerne Tipps für Aktivitäten, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und alles, was euch sonst einfällt. Wir sind mit den SUP's auf dem Fluss gepaddelt, sind durch Amarante gebummelt und haben Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht. Leider war die Zeit zu kurz, aber das ist ein weiteres Argument wiederzukommen. Herzlichen Dank eure Gäste sein zu dürfen. Die Müller Family

The house is not easily accessible because of the steep slope, which was the only comment. I
Het huis is niet makkelijk bereikbaar vanwege de steile helling.
Dat was de enige kanttekening. IA cozy, top-notch place to stay
Een gezellig, op en top verzorgde verblijfplaats

That I didn't give a 10 is because of the steep roads on the property and the narrow road to the location.Other than that, it's great!
Dat ik geen 10 heb gegeven is vanwege de stijle weggetjes op het terrein en de smalle weg naar de locatie toe.
Verder is het geweldig!There are 3 cottages and they are in a wonderful location in an oasis of peace. Helena and Luis are incredibly nice hosts. They take all the time and make every effort to make you feel comfortable. The cottages are very clean and stylishly decorated. They have air conditioning, blinds, are very fully equipped ( incl herbs, olive oil etc) and they have a beautiful view of the river. The pool and the river offer coolness. Everything has been thought of such as sups, boat, hammocks, seats in sun and shade, an outdoor shower, barbecue opportunity. The village of Amarante is also well worth a visit. We would love to come back again.
Er zijn 3 huisjes en die liggen op een schitterende locatie in een oase van rust. Helena en Luis zijn ontzettend aardige hosts. Zij nemen alle tijd en doen alle moeite om het je naar de zin te maken. De huisjes zijn zeer netjes en stijlvol ingericht. Ze hebben een airco, zonnewering, zijn zeer volledig ingericht ( incl kruiden, olijfolie etc) en ze hebben een mooi uitzicht op de rivier. Het zwembad en de rivier bieden verkoeling. Aan alles is gedacht zoals sups, bootje, hangmatten, zitjes in zon en schaduw, een buiten douche, barbecue gelegenheid.
Het dorpje Amarante is ook zeker het bezoeken waard. Wij komen graag nog eens terug.This text is automatically translated.
