Stay in Cete

Cete is a great location for visiting Porto. It is a 30-40 min train journey and 10 min walk to the station. Very reasonable for food although more of a suburbs location than a tourist place - restaurants are traditional, reasonably priced but cafe come restaurants. Our host Afonso was very helpful and available. House was lovely traditional Portuguese - only complaint would be the cooking stove which was quite temperamental and caused the electric fuse switches to flick off. Also not enough electrical plug points but we accepted it was old and traditional and we liked that. Swimming Pool was lovely - cold but nice size. Scenery was lovely from house too. We would recommend this place for a good base for seeing Porto and surrounding areas and relaxing around a pool

Cete villa

Great location for exploring Porto with only a short train journey to the city. Lovely pool area and excellent communication with the host who was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Property would benefit from updating and it would be nice to be provided with more essentials such as bin bags, washing up liquid and tea towels. It is a self catering property. Overall though a very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful and peaceful location

This is a very charming old property which has been lovingly cared for by its owner. Although in the centre of a small village in the vicinity of Porto, it has a beautiful aspect and view over farmland - maize and vines. The pool makes this a perfect family holiday venue. You can walk to a baker and a butcher and fruit shop in the town and the supermarket is not far by car. It also benefits from being within a 40 minute train ride of Porto - which is a magical and architecturally stunning city full of energy. we loved our stay.

A tranquil, traditional house in the countryside

We enjoyed our stay at Afonso's house. It is a lovely rustic, secluded house just on the edge of Cete. The house met our needs perfectly, being my husband & I our two older daughters & their partner. We really enjoyed the beautiful garden, outside seating & dining areas. The view across the valley was lovely (even the trains passing in the lower valley remind us of home). We really enjoyed using the large swimming pool (a bit chilly but to be expected in October). The garden & pool were so well kept a beautiful place to spend time in. The house is rustic & homey we felt comfortable there. The dining area was huge, plenty of room to enjoy a meal together. We cooked a lot at the house as two of us are chefs & enjoy cooking, we also used the barbecue outside. The house is situated perfectly to catch a train into Porto, which we did on a couple of days. Afonso left recommendations for local restaurants & places to visit in a handbook. Which helped us find a lovely restaurant & a visit to a vineyard about a 15 minute drive away. Afonso & his wife were very patient hosts, we had a disastrous day on arrival with travel plans, delays, air strikes, hire car problems & getting lost. Thank you Afonso for your patience & kindness. To summarise a beautiful house & wonderful host. We had a great stay & thank you Afonso.

A little gem in the Portuguese countryside

My girlfriend and I spent a lovely week in this property in July 2022. A stay here is highly recommended due to the peace, quiet, beautiful views and tranquil surroundings. The temperature hit 37 degrees while we were there and so we very thankful of the good size pool and multiple shady areas in the grounds. The property itself is best described as traditional and rustic, and it all works well. Particularly pleasing (and necessary) was the air conditioning in both downstairs bedrooms. There is a comfortable sitting room, with a terrace on the first floor, but we did not use very much because of the hot weather. Cete, the place where the property is located, is not a tourist town. But the shops there have everything you need including cafes, a small supermarket (a larger one is located in the next town), a butchers and bakers. We would recommend that anyone who stays here does hire a car as it would have helped us massively with our big shop when we first arrived The day to day shopping is a short walk away. The only other thing to mention is that being located in the countryside you will have insects aplenty, which can be annoying occasionally. Fly swatters were provided! :) All in all, a thoughly recommended property if you are looking for an escape from everything.
