Hinter dem Einfahrtstor liegt eine schöne erholsame Welt mit großem Pool. Unsere Gastgeber Aminda und Antonio haben uns sehr gut und liebevoll betreut. Ein Highlight ist auch der sehr geräumige Grillbereich beim Pool.

Casa Brandao est un lieu magnifique les extérieurs sont très beaux la piscine superbe et l’emplacement est idéal pour visiter le nord du Portugal. L’appartement est très très spacieux et très bien équipé. Les hôtes Mita et Antonio sont adorables et plein d’attentions. Il y a 2 appartements à louer dans la maison alors beaucoup de place dans la très belle piscine. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille, gâtés et dans un havre de paix ! Nous y retournerons sans faute !

Desde já queria agradecer a simpatia e a boa hospitalidade que D.Arminda e Sr.António nos ofereceram. Passamos 5 dias magnificos. Sentimo-nos como se estivéssemos em casa. Ótimas condições, dentro e fora de casa com 3 simpáticos cães " Joli, Picasso e a Branquinha" mas de realçar uma piscina fantástica. Aconselhamos vivamente para quem quer descansar e desfrutar de um pouco de sossego.

Avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est très propre et bien équipée.Les abords sont très bien tenus. Quant aux propriétaires, c'est un vrai plaisir. Ils sont très accueillants et disponibles sans être envahissants.Si nous devons retourner dans cette région nous n'hésiterions pas un instant à redemander cette location.

Estivemos duas semanas na casa Brandão, passou muito pouco tempo, mas já estaríamos prontos para regressar, para um espaço maravilhoso, cuidado e onde a tranquilidade nos envolve. A simpatia e a disponibilidade da Sra. Arminda e do Sr. António estiveram sempre presentes. Foram umas férias repousantes e maravilhosas, ficam as saudades e uma enorme vontade de voltar.

Foi uma estadia em família maravilhosa! O espaço em si é simplesmente perfeito para umas férias tranquilas e confortáveis. O jardim e a piscina são uma delícia! Principalmente para as crianças que para além da piscina (maravilhosa) têm por onde correr e o que explorar ☺ Grata e os meus parabéns pelo carinho com que nos receberam e tratam deste espaço maravilhoso. Iremos regressar certamente ☺

Adorei a casa Brandão, A Dona Arminda e o Senhor António são pessoas fantásticas, super amáveis e discretas, quase nem nos apercebemos que estavam em casa. Prontificaram-se a tudo o que pedimos e ofereceram-nos um doce de frutos vermelhos delicioso. Passamos 3 dias de puro lazer e descanso na companhia de uma incrível paisagem e piscina que quase merece o titulo de olímpica e esta esteve sempre a uma temperatura super agradável de 24 graus. A casa Brandão tem 3 Caezinhos que são uns verdadeiros amores de tanta pureza e meiguice, muito dóceis e respeitadores. São o Joli a Branquinha e o Picasso :-) A única coisa que penso que poderiam melhorar na minha opinião para ficar uma casa perfeita é sem duvida a mobília antiquada que se encontra na casa, pois causam um pouco de cheiro a mofo e mais desconforto, na altura de usufruir dos sofás e dos quartos, contudo estava tudo muito assisado e super limpo, também passamos maior parte do tempo cá fora a desfrutar de toda a paisagem envolvente que é lindíssima. Muito Obrigada por esta experiência, e vamos certamente recomendar.

Passamos uns dias fantásticos! A zona era muito tranquila e qualquer coisa que que fosse necessário encontrava-se com facilidade. A casa era muito bonita, com excelentes condições já para não falar do jardim e da piscina. A juntar a tudo isto, 3 cães super meigos que nos fizeram companhia. Mas para mim, o mais importante foi a hospitalidade e simpatia do Sr. António e da D. Arminda. Duas pessoas que gostei de conhecer e que têm um lugar especial no meu coração. Bjs já cheios de saudades.

Afinal o paraíso existe aqui tão perto, uma estadia excelente de 4 dias desde a recepção calorosa da D. Arminda e o Sr. António até á hora de saída que é sem dúvida o que mais custa... deixar para trás algo que nos trás conforto e momentos únicos de felicidade. Eu vou voltar e recomendo. Obrigado!
