Perfect property - peace and tranquility,
We stayed in Sept 2019. This property was just first class. The communication and check in process made very straightforward by Paula - and many thanks to her brother Pedro who greeted us very efficiently on arrival.
The setting is so tranquil and the garden truly private and peaceful with many areas to relax and enjoy. The pool (no chemicals, such a bonus) is just lovely.
The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped and has everything you need for home comforts, Particularly enjoyed the small area for rest and relaxation - (lovely for a bit of yoga!) and also late in the evening eating by the open fire in the dining room was fabulous.
Although there is peace and privacy the property is not isolated and within less than a 10 minutes walk there is a small general store, bread shop and a bar all of which were a real bonus. Short drive to Ponte de Lima for large supermarkets - the Lidl is well stocked and easy to access.
A short walk down the road takes you to a waterfall and old mill and to the banks of the River Lima where you can picnic. From there also you can walk (or cycle as we did) to Ponte de Lima and to Ponte de Barca on the beautiful ecovia path. On the doorstep and only a short drive takes you into the National park (Peneda- Gerres, visit Lindosa and the dam nearby- amazing views you and find the beautiful waterfalls - there are lots to discover)
Paula had left wine and water, milk and juice and some fabulous home made biscuits to greet us on arrival.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this very lovely property.
Thank you Paula, we had a truly fantastic holiday, loved the property and the area and loved Portugal and the Portuguese!.
