A relaxing, comfortable stay in a beautiful spot
Dikitaru is located on the banks of the Rio Cavados on the edge of the Peneda-Geres national park, which is a beautiful area to explore and was remarkably free of tourists when we were there at the beginning of July. In the national park there are many hiking trails, some with waterfalls along the way that you can swim in, though the roads can be quite winding, so driving in this area requires concentration! The house is quiet, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking across the river to the hills of the national park on the other side. The pool was super, and enjoyed by all; very necessary to cool off in given the 30 degree temperatures when we stayed! You can also swim at river beaches in the area. We tried a number of local restaurants, all good hearty fare and reasonably priced. The lovely Medieval towns of Guimaraes and Ponte da Lima are around an hour away and well worth a visit.

Lovely house with a beautiful garden
We had a really happy stay at this lovely property. The location is good, you can walk down to the river in 10 mins, and the area is so peaceful. The pool was enjoyed by us all as were the stunning views. Of particular note is the interesting garden which is filled with all kinds of plants and fruit trees. We had fun playing table football and bat and ball in the pool. Gloria was a very attentive and kind hostess who was always available to help us. I highly recommend this property to anyone.

Glorious home in stunning location
What Can I say about Gloria’s home? It is a real treat! A restful home away from home. Gloria was a delight to deal with, from pre holiday communications to meeting her on our arrival day. Everything was perfect we were given such a warm welcome and home made treats which we were very glad of having arrived hungry from the airport. The property is beautiful with everything you could possibly want there. The gardens and pool area are particularly lovely and we made good use of the stone built barbecue. The house is so well equipped that you could easily spend your whole time there and not be disappointed. The area is a delight and there is lots to do locally should you wish to. We had a fantastic day travelling into the mountains on quad bikes and an equally great time visiting a local vineyard. There are some beautiful sights nearby some of which are deserted even in August. It was my first time in Portugal but I will definitely be back. It is a beautiful area of a beautiful country and the locals are so welcoming and accommodating. One note of caution, bring plenty of cash, not many of the local restaurants and attractions take international credit cards. If you are looking for an authentic and relaxing holiday this is definitely the place for you.

Fully equipped beautiful villa with gorgeous gardens and private pool
We had a wonderful time relaxing here for 2 weeks. The kids (11 & 8 years old) enjoyed the pool, as did the adults. We were made to feel so welcome when we arrived. The villa is fully equipped with all you will ever need for a holiday. It has plenty of space and storage, the beds were very comfortable. We often stayed at the villa for dinner and enjoyed local produce done on the brick bbq and ate at the fantastic dining table. The views over the lake were lovely with a fantastic view of the sunset in the evening. The mature gardens are lovely. Vieira Do Minho, the local town, had everything we needed including some great places to eat. Beautiful historic town of Braga was approximately 30 mins drive from the villa and well worth a visit. The local people were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again. The Broster Family from Edinburgh.

Obrigada por tudo, Gloria!
Liebe Gloria, wir haben uns sehr gut erholt in Ihrem schönen Refugium. Es war ein Traum, jeden Morgen mit Aussicht auf die Berge und den See zu frühstücken, im Pool zu baden, der mit Palmen in dem schönen, gepflegten, blühenden Garten liegt. Es gab Eidechsen und Kröten zu entdecken. Wir lieben es, ungestört für uns zu sein, niemand schaut in das Grundstück hinein. Es gab Wassersportgeräte, Tischtennis (lieben wir), Tischkicker (machte viel Spaß), genug Geschirr. Alles war schön eingerichtet. Klar, man braucht ein Auto, aber wir waren auch wandern, haben im Stausse und Rio Cavado und im Atlantik gebadet. In Braga waren wir oft, haben sogar ein Fußballspiel im tollen Stadion gesehen. Guimaraes hat uns auch sehr gefallen. Sonnenuntergang in Bom Jesus war sensationell. Die Restaurantempfehlung "Pedra Verde" teilen wir. Cafesinho mit Pasteis de Nata ging immer und überall. Wir könne Ihr Haus nur wärmstens empfehlen. Danke für alles! Ihre Familie Reincke

A gem in the country side
It's a little house but still you have privacy and plenty of room. We loved the pool area with sunbeds, football table and shower/toilet. The house had a great wifi-network (the best one we have ever had in a rented house across Europe (the teenagers was happy). Three good bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen (a bootle of Portugues wine as a welcome is always appreciated!). It's plenty of very good restaurants in the nearby area (a car is though needed). If you get tired of laying in the sun. day trips to Porto, Braga and Guimaraez are a good thing to do. All in all, living here for a week was a perfect end of this year's holliday in lovley Portugal!
