In a secluded rural setting, this lovely 4 bedroom stone farmhouse offers the perfect retreat. Unwind in the large garden on terraces with pool, barbecue area and magnificent views of the valley and surrounding hills. With spacious open-plan kitchen/living room, table football and games in the adega (old winery) with bar, there's plenty to enjoy.

The property was fantastic and exactly as advertised. It was clean and everything we needed was available. It was ideal for our group and everyone really enjoyed their stay
We had a very good time together as a family. It helped that the house is so fully furnished and you can can find virtually all you need in there!

Beautiful Villa in fantastic Location
Thankyou for such a wonderful holiday. The villa was very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished . It has a large pool that isn’t overlooked and fantastic views. We would definitely come back .
A fantastic lovely house! Lots of space and privacy. A nice pool. A great and beautifully maintained garden. And the view was to die for. We enjoyed our stay very much. Fully equipped house. The hostess was very friendly, responded very quickly to messages and was able to help us when we needed something. Thank you very much!
We loved our week in this fabulous place. The house is really comfortable and well-equipped, with lots of different places to sit and eat outside or enjoy the wonderful view. We much appreciated the many small extra touches which made us feel at home, including fresh bread and breakfast things waiting on arrival, books, games and beach towels. (The big pile of Asterix books and the National Geographic were much enjoyed in our group.) The area is really beautiful and unspoilt, with lovely beaches about 45 minutes drive away and plenty to explore closer to home including rivers and waterfalls to swim in. It was very hot when we were there but we would love to come back when cooler to do some longer walks. The wifi was great in the living area, not so good in the bedrooms (which is also perhaps a plus!)
My family consisted five adults, two children aged 5 and two infants. The Villa is in a beautiful location on a hillside overlooking a valley, if you are seeking seclusion, peace and quiet and out of the rat race, this is for you. A very well appointed Villa, well equipped a lovely pool and garden area that the kids really enjoyed and is ideal for barbecues. The owner Adria was lovely too, very helpful and her attention to detail was great. Would certainly recommend this place to others.

An outstanding holiday in a wonderful house
This property is a beautiful old renovated farmhouse, well equipped and big enough for nine of us. The views are spectatular and eating our evening meal on the terrace looking down over the valley was a real highlight of the day. The pool is large and carefully fenced in. The children had many happy hours there. Northern Portugal is a great place to be and Adria was always on hand if we needed her, as a good host. Many thanks. We would love to come again one day.

Superb vacation! Great house, setting & area.
We are the 5th to review and we second all that was said before. We have spent a week during August 2011: two families with a total of 4 adults and 4 kids; 6,7 and 8 years old. House was plenty big and comfortable for our group.
We are lucky enough to spend over 12 weeks every year on vacation in Europe and the US, always renting houses for our family. This is definitely one of those properties that as you walk in you immediately realize the photos and description on the internet DO NOT do it justice - it is MUCH better.
The only real problem is that once you settle in, next to the swimming pool, you no longer feel like leaving to explore the area....
very nice place and classical house in the mountain with incredible view and nice swimming pool
we had a lovelytime here with the whole family, 9 pax and 2 dogs
you just have to keep in mind you are tucked in the mountain and need about 30mn to the next supermarket, but this was just perfect for us
from there you can easely visit Braga, Porto, Guimaraes, Ponte de Lima etc... and go to the sea
it was perfect also with the dogs as there are many hiking trails in the mountains just around the house
thank you Adria, it was nice to meet you
Wir fühlten uns vom ersten Moment sehr wohl. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet gerade für größere Gruppen viele Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Die Terasse lässt sich super gut nutzen für gemeinsame Mahlzeiten. Der Pool war angenehm groß und das Salzwasser im Pool hat wirklich wenig gestört. Dafür gibt es auch direkt am Pool ein kleines Poolhaus mit Dusche und WC. Wir können das Haus wirklich nur empfehlen!Die Gegend ist weniger touristisch aber dafür hat man mehr Ruhe und entspannte Sandstrände.
Virkelig dejligt sted, smuk udsigt, behageligt klima, masser af plads i boligen, hyggelig og rustik indretning, meget rent, og med en dejlig og stor pool. Vi var 7 personer, voksne og teenagere, og havde en skøn ferie her. Alt hvad man skal bruge er tilgængeligt, udlejer er venlig og svarer øjeblikkeligt. Vi kan virkelig anbefale stedet.
Gern wieder!!! Wir haben 10 schöne Tage in dem traditionellen Haus verbracht. Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht ist dort richtig. Das Grundstück ist sehr gepflegt. Aussicht und Pool außergewöhnlich. Das Haus sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin lief problemlos.
Très belle maison dans un cadre verdoyant avec une vue à 360 . Séjour au calme en famille et amis dans le nord du Portugal qui reste une superbe région à découvrir.
Großes Haus. Etwas einsam gelegen, mit schönem Blick ins Tal. Auto unbedingt notwendig. Schöner Pool, aber leider sind die Sonnenliegen kaputt und müssen unbedingt ausgetauscht werden. Sonst recht gute Ausstattung. Sehr netter Service, Frühstück- Erstaustattung im Kühlschrank. Schöner Garten.
Fantastisch familiehuis op het Portugese platteland!
Met ons gezin en de familie (7) hebben we genoten van een heerlijke week in dit fantastische huis. Het is stijlvol en compleet ingericht, je grijpt nergens op mis. De omgeving is landelijk en rustig. Je hebt een mooi uitzicht over de valei en in het zwembad is het goed vertoeven. Bij aankomst waren er verse broodjes, melk en zelfs een flesje wijn. We hebben ons erg welkom gevoeld. De gastvrijheid van Adria en haar coöperatie en flexibiliteit zijn ons erg goed bevallen. Echt een paradijs in Noord Portugal op een uurtje rijden van Porto!
Estivemos em Covas, um fim de semana excelente.
Claro que o tempo ajudou. Mas a casa e as suas comodidades foram imprecindiveis.
A piscina e a sua vista permitiram usufruir do sol de uma forma unica.
Vamos voltar!
Casa excelente com uma vista muita bonita - tranquila
não nos faltou nada tem todo o tipo de eletrodomésticos muito uteis.
foram 10 dias ótimos e podemos ter connosco os nossos patudos. Adoramos - podemos voltar certamente.
obrigado à Srª Adrian muito gentil e presente sempre e quando solicitada. Um grande beijinho
Muito obrigado por nos ter recebido neste recanto verde e com uma vista deslumbrante. Foram uns bons dias de descanso, jogos, brincadeira e contacto com a natureza. Bem haja por manter este refugio maravilhoso! Um abraço, francisco e família
A propriedade correspondeu às expetativas, é um ótimo local para umas férias em família sobretudo com crianças pequenas. A casa é muito espaçosa e equipada com tudo o que é necessário e os locais no exterior muito bonitos. A piscina é muito boa e as vistas são fantásticas. O local é super tranquilo rodeado de natureza.
