peaceful, beautiful

Beautiful, comfortable home on the mountainside. House is very clean with all that you need for a vacation. Antonio was very helpful in getting us situated and was available for any questions. Very much enjoyed the mountain retreat and would highly recommend to friends or family.

Wonderful holiday

We had a fabulous 12 nights in Geres. The house is perfectly situated with Mountain Views. Well equipped and spotlessly clean with a wonderful pool area. So many places to sit and relax and take in the tranquility. Geres has everything you need and kept two teenagers happy also. Antonio and his wife greeted us and showed us around the house and made us feel very welcomed. We would love to return.

Mountainside Retreat

This home was a true mountain paradise. Situated up a narrow drive it is fully equipped with everything you need complete with wood for the outdoor bbq and fully equipped kitchen. It is modern and cozy at the same time. The owner was prompt and very helpful. The pool was marvelous with views of the moutains. There were plenty of towels and linens. Great for a family vacation, would certainly return.

Spacious property with wonderful pool with stunning views

Wonderful spacious well equipped property on a hill above the delightful town of Geres where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants and just enough shops. The hill to the property is quite steep so a bit tough after a meal out so not advised for young children or the unfit. But this means you have a very peaceful private location and the views from the pool are stunning. The National park is beautiful but be warned the roads are windy so you may not want to travel too far once you are here. Antonio was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended.

Beautiful relaxing property

Excellent holiday home for a group. Plenty of sitting areas. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of towels supplied. The home was very clean. Mattresses not the best. No mirrors in bedrooms. Internet extremely slow and not available in some areas of the house. Could have used more umbrellas for shade at the pool. A car is definitely a must. Very steep incline from town back up to villa. Town of Geres about 8 minute walk. Lots of cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, gift shops, bus stop for Braga. About 20 min drive to sandy beach. Lots of great walking trails. Check in is late at 5pm and very early check out at10am, basically losing almost most of a day. Antonio and his family were very welcoming and were quick to return messages. Very good hosts.

Séjour en famille

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille 3 adultes, 4 enfant et un bébé de 2 ans. La Villa est très spacieuse et confortable. L’espace piscine est aménagé avec goût avec une magnifique vue sur la montagne. L’accès à la villa est un peu difficile mais cela permet d être au calme complet.

Brilliant location and stay

We had a great time! The property is a great base for exploring the national park, one of the circular walks starts within 100m of the house. Particularly enjoyed a swim after a days walking.

Amazing

What a great house and environment. The house is secluded on a mountain slope, but the village, with all restaurants and shops, can be reached within 10 minutes on foot. The house is spacious and fully equipped, especially the kitchen. In the morning it is great to gaze at the mountain wall opposite the house while enjoying your first cup of coffee. The silence, peace and beauty of the house and surroundings is unparalleled.

superbe

nous avons passé un séjour de 6j très agréable, la météo etait là mais en plus la maison est très bien équipée jusqu'au moindre accessoire de cuisine. le jardin et la vue de la maison sont magnifique. La piscine profonde de 1m40, c'est exactement ce qu'il faut pour se baigner et que les enfants puissent vraiment en profiter en toute sécurité. Une climatisation dans chaque pièce, une bonne literie dans chaque chambre sauf dans celle de lits jumeaux qui est un peu moins confortable mais rien de bien grave. La suite est génial. Bref, je recommande vivement car les prestations et l'accueil des propriétaires est à la hauteur de ce que l'on peut attendre d'un bon séjour!! Encore merci à antonio et sa femme pour leur accueil et leur disponibilité

Beautiful setting and very private

A clean, modern and well equipped property in a beautiful location. The location of the pool is unconventional which might be a problem for families with small children because if they are in the pool they are invisible from the villa. However, the planting around the pool is very attractively landscaped with great views. The short drive up a steep narrow road could prove a problem for less confident drivers. Gerês is a nice village to mooch around with some shops, bakery, butcher, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. There is a park with a small boating lake. Travellers need to be aware how long it takes to drive anywhere because the the roads are so steep and winding. We didn’t want to drive more than 40 minutes in each direction every day so actually very few places are accessible in that time. Highlights for us were Bom Jesus near Braga and Portem da Homem and Sao Bento. When you are driving around there are multiple places you can stop and admire the amazing views down into the valley. Overall a great holiday.

A lovely property. the main bedroom is gorgeous but the three smaller bedrooms and bathroom are dated and need revamping with more bathroom facility upstairs to these rooms. one bathroom for three double bedrooms is not enough.

Good getaway location but Geres is quite dull

We had a very enjoyable week at the house with the family. Geres is quite dull - the shops are basic and the restaurants poor - the countryside up the hill is spectacular and swimming in the reservoir was wonderful. It's not really a base to explore as the last part of the route to Geres is quite slow. The house sort of works although the pool feels to be in the wrong place. There is no air con so the three bedrooms (which are quite small) get very warm. It was very peaceful until the local public pool start blasting music on Saturday and Sunday throughout most of the day. The owners were helpful and very responsive.

Great holiday with many possibilities to enjoy the country

We (family of 4 with two sons, aged 17 and 15 from Germany) stayed for two weeks at the end of July / beginning of August. The house is very nice and invites on the one hand to spend time here, but on the other hand is an ideal starting point for a variety of activities. In the Peneda National Park we hiked some very varied trails (the app Wikiloc has saved some good routes here, otherwise there are good suggestions on the website or in the tourist office). We have also made trips to Braga, Guimarães, Porto, Santa Cruz, the coast and the Douro Valley. The house is very well equipped and even the kids were happy with the WiFi :-). The pool is large and offers beautiful views. Gerês offers several restaurants where you can eat at very reasonable prices. If you do without the car, you have will loose the calories as quickly as you eat them, because the way to the house is not long but quite steep. The morning walk to the bakery replaced in any case the jogging. But the house offers a great view, where you can enjoy the evenings with a good glass of port wine in absolute peace. Two highlights around the topic of port wine: - Lunch at Graham's Port Lodge in Porto with a fantastic view of Porto. If you want to avoid the not quite cheap food you can just enjoy a glass of port wine on the terrace. - In the Douro Valley, we visited the Sandeman Winery (Quinta de Seixo), with a magnificent view over the vineyards. Overall, a great holiday for each of us had something to offer, in a beautiful house with very nice hosts. Highly recommended, as long as you are not aiming for the classic beach holiday, but a healthy mix of activities and chill out at the pool.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful holiday. The property is wonderfully situated with fabulous views from the all rooms and, of course, the great pool area. Pool area was a real feature with plenty of space, shade and chairs. House was in great condition, very impressive master bedroom with large and modern en-suite. Lovely welcome drink provided by the hosts too. The house is a short, but steep (!) walk to Geres which is a charming place to wander around. Highly recommended.
