What a wonderful place to stay. We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful house, we didn’t want for anything and the gentlemen who owns the villa was positively charming. He took so much pride in showing us around and letting us pick fruit from the orchard. The pool was wonderful and a lovely temperature. The house had stunning views and catered for all our needs and some. Location wise, it ticked all the boxes for us. Thank you for having us! ##### Kirsty B.

C'était l'occasion de nous retrouver en famille et de pratiquer diverses activités nautiques, comme le surf, la natation. Cette résidence était l'endroit idéal pour se retrouver : espace, séparation des pièces, mais aussi lieux de loisir comme la piscine et le billard. Tout est bien fourni dans le logement : vaisselle, modilier, accessoires de toilette, etc.., ce qui est très appréciable pour un séjour d'une semaine avec de nombreux occupants. ##### Jean Yves R.

Chaque famille avait son espace tellement elle est grande. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les jus d’orange frais et les fruits frais le matin grâce au propriétaire qui nous autorise l’accès au verger. La piscine est top et clôturé, ce qui est rassurant lorsqu’on a des enfants en bas âge. La villa est à proximité de petits commerces (boulangerie, tabac, pharmacie) et à moins de 10 min en voiture d’un supermarché Continente. Elle est aussi bien situé pour visiter le Nord du Portugal. Nous avons visité Braga (- 45 min), Porto (1h), Guimaraes (45 min), Aveiro (1h), le grand marché à Barcelos (20 min) qui dure toute la journée le jeudi. Le soir, nous avons été nous balader dans la ville d’a côté (15 min en voiture) : Vila do Conde et Póvoa do Varzim où il y a restaurants et plusieurs terrasses pour manger gaufres , crêpes ou glaces! Et plusieurs bazars à souvenirs. Villa entièrement clôturée avec tous ce qu’il faut pour passer un séjour agréable. Nous avons été conquis. Le propriétaire passe au moindre souci et est très discret et sympathique. Nous avons loué pour 2 semaines et le ménage à été fait à la fin de la première semaine ( changement des draps, des serviettes et ménage général) ce qui est très appréciable également. Je recommande vivement cette villa, vous pouvez louer sans aucun soucis! Encore merci au propriétaire. ##### Heidi T.
