A beautiful small and quiet rural house among the orchards and vines of an abundant part of the Portuguese countryside. It is spacious and has two terraces, one above a vegetable garden with its onions tomatoes, potatoes and beans, the other on the first floor and looking south at a beautiful view over the river valley. The house itself feels like a real, comfortable home, and its garden is full of lovely things. There are all the crockery and cutlery you could want, and also a large TV with cable channels; the wi-fi works well. There is access to an excellent modern pool across the road just two minutes' walk away. We also found lovely river swimming not far away. Nearby Lamego is an attractive historic town and we ate well in a reasonable restaurant next to the cathedral. Best of all was the warm and very helpful welcome from Anibal, who speaks good English, and his father, who gave us some red wine from his press right next to the house. We hope we can retun another year!
