Description

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We are not allowed to discuss prices, special offers, discounts, etc directly with clients - Hollidaylettings will censor all such communications. Pay via Holidaylettings then once the booking is confirmed we may discuss refunds for special discounts for long stays for example. You can also pay for 12 nights but we allow you to stay 14 nights if there are vacancies. We are flexible even if the website is not...Any problems with booking payment pls contact Holidaylettings directly. ALSO: the calendar managed by TripAdvisor is not working as it should so that it often states "not available" on your chosen dates when in fact that is not the case. We strongly advise you to try and contact us directly.

The bungalow is located in a garden with a large lawn area and a 10m X 5m pool.

It is a vey secluded garden neighboring an agricultural field and facing the sea.

The beach is 2km away. The property is situated in a very narrow country lane so large cars do not fit which means that it is an almost private road with practically no traffic. and so we breath very clean air.

This is ideal for those who enjoy quiet holidays and seeing the many historical towns and villages in northern Portugal, including nearby Viana do Castelo. Very near Galicia northern Spain as well. As a border location you get "two countries for one".

Afife has two restaurants and three cafés, a Mini-Price supermarket, a pharmacy open daily from 9:00am to 12:00 midnight . There is also a river beach. The ocean beach is very long and there is an area for surfers. In summer one can get surfing lessons. In nearby Caminha 10 kms north, there is Kayaking both in the bay and in the river as well as regular ferry crossings to Spain.

Further details

With booking confirmation we require a 20% of total amount payable. We also ask for a "security deposit" on arrival of Euro-100 payable on arrival in cash which we refund at end of stay.

By request we can provide you with comments/reviews from our guestbooks.

We are very sorry but at present we cannot accept pets.

Further details indoors

The bedroom has two twin beds. The living area has a sofa-bed for a third person (three people only for short stays: 3/4 days) or a child aged 10 - 16.
The bathroom has a large shower area with hot and cold water, WC, large modern wash basin.
The bungalows have heating in winter .
Unfortunately no TV this year but we can provide a DVD player and you can borrow from our good DVD collection. We provide clean linen on a weekly basis. When possible we can try to get someone to clean the bungalow or change the beds 1x week.
The kitchenette has two cooking hot plates, microwave, fridge/freezer, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, linen, etc.
You can borrow our beach towels and beach umbrellas.
Short stays in July and August - 4 nights -rest of the year 3 nights.
Long stays (over 14 nights) prices negotiable but not through any Holidaylettings messages as they censor all discussion on payments and prices, etc.

Getting around

You need to have a car. Public transportation is not very regular in this area. There are about three buses per day to and from Viana do Castelo and two trains pass by going to or coming from Oporto to Vigo in Spain. A small car is the ideal vehicle for these narrow roads. If you can't drive we may be able to negotiate a special arrangement with you and organise driving you to the supermarket, or to/from the beach and restaurants, just ask.

House rules

This is a place for those wanting a quiet tranquil place to stay for a few days. It is not suitable for children as the pool is not safe and the bungalows not suitable for any type of overcrowding. We expect guests to realise that self-catering means they have to take care of basic day-to-day cleaning and tidying of their bungalow. We do not allow parties nor sleeping-in guests other than our own guests. Our guests can invite two or three friends for a meal.

“wonderful week in lovely accommodation near sea”

Reviewed 23 Jul 2012

I cannot rate this accpmmodation highly enough - very comfortable, adequately equipped and set in beautiful private gardens within the onwers property, together with another bungalow. The gardens are full of shrubs and flowers and laid out to ensure maximum privacy, shielding the owneres house and bungalows and bordering the lovely pool, from where you can see the sea. The owners were extremely welcome, friendly and informative about the area, without being intrusive - nothing was too much trouble. The location is excellent - not too far to walk to the beach, easy access to many lovely towns and villages, including crossing into Spain, and some good walking up the wooded hills at the back - well worth a visit to the wind turbines at the top - the views are amazing . We only had time to sample 2 of the 3 restaurants but both were excellent, with one only a few minutes walk away.
