Response from the owner Ola Miguel! Thank you very much for you sincere and honest review. Thank you very much for taking so much care of the garden; green and plants were carefully watered! , the pool was perfect (water and floor were patiently cleaned!) . The house was clean and tidy and no item was damaged.Thanks again. As regards to the ' high temperature ' inside the house: the house is antique and an air conditioning is inappropriate. We have a fan per room and lounge. The house is totally stone walled (60-90 cm depth) and naturally fresh and has an extra isolation material (4 cm depth ). What I use to do is to keep doors and windows perfectly closed all day long and to open windows at bedtime. I will try a climatisor next year. You are welcome. I strongly recommend your families to other owners! Ricardo

“Amazing villa, can't wait to return!”

Reviewed 11 Apr 2018

We were a family of 6 and went on a fortnight stay in this beautifully renovated villa located in tranquil and lovely countryside village only 5 minute drive from motorways to the northern Portugal and Spain. Very confortable and clean, well appointed, Owner and their representatives very friendly. The stone tile floor sets off the majestic fireplace that features hand cut and split granite stone. This lovely place will embrace Spring visitors who want to relax in front of the fireplace just as much as those cooling down after a day of Summer fun. The rooms were nicely presented with all you could need. The villa has a fully private lawn and a very pleasant outdoor area with a superb pool! which we enjoyed very much. The laundry is well equipped with machine washer and ironing board. The large kitchen had all the necessary appliances to cook and feel like at home. We would like to thank owner of the villa for giving us a very warm welcome and providing everything we need for making it confortable. We hope to return!

“Un séjour merveilleux”

Reviewed 6 Mar 2018

De l'arrivée jusqu'à notre départ, nous avons bien apprecié cette belle Villa typique en pierre. Villa très agréable, confortable, fonctionelle et très bien entretenue par le propriétaire très sympathique et discret. Il y avait tout les équipements utiles comme décrit dans l'annonce : barbecue, une très belle piscine, des jouets gonflables, un étendeur à linge, place pour voitures, machine à laver. La maison est bien située pour circuler dans le nord du Portugal (avoir une voiture est préférable car les plages sont accessibles en 15/20 minutes et l'autoroute en 5 minutes). Très bien accueillis par le propriétaire, nous garderons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour et nous y reviendrons sûrement !!
