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! ##### Rune S.

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. ##### Tricia P.

Die Lage des Hauses ist traumhaft (allerdings braucht man natürlich überall hin eine Weile). Vielleicht war es ein "end of season"-Phänomen, aber während unseres Aufenthaltes gingen zuerst ein WC-Abfluss und dann ein elektronischer Rolladen kaputt. Es wurde beides repariert, aber es war nervig, sich darum kümmern zu müssen. Auch bei den neuen Handtüchern und der Bettwäsche nach einer Woche war es so, dass ich mehrfach nachfragen musste. Außerdem hatte ich gegen Ende den Eindruck, dass der Pool nicht mehr morgens gereinigt wurde, obwohl es aufgrund des Windes durchaus nötig gewesen wäre. Das musste man dann auch selber machen. Diese Punkte haben den ansonsten guten Eindruck dieser eigentlich schönen Unterkunft leider ein wenig getrübt... ##### Adrian M.

Casa Dikitaru est vraiment une maison très agréable et parfaite pour respirer au grand air et déconnecter de la vie en ville plus stressante. Le jardin absolument magnifique est tellement grand qu'il permet de se faire des balades pour digérer après manger ^^. La piscine et le baby foot en contrebas de la maison sont vraiment la cerise sur le gâteau de cette prestation. Je rejoins un autre commentaire disant qu'on s'y sent tellement bien que l'on a pas envie d'aller autre part haha ^^ De plus le contact avec la propriétaire de la maison était excellent, une personne vraiment à l'écoute, qui a su réagir très vite pour les questions et imprévus du séjour. Nous avons vraiment apprécié sa gentillesse et sa réactivité. Un grand merci à elle pour nous avoir offert de très belles vacances !

Property completely secluded and extremely quiet. We cater for ourselves rather than eat out, there seemed plenty of local restaurants while driving around. Really easy to get to supermarket in Viero du Minho, everything you would need there. We were unlucky with the weather, had a few rainy days but sun came out and it turned hot, pool was used. We went for R and R property and area suited our purpose. Worth a trip to Ponte Lima and the scenic drives, not for the faint hearted!! My only comment would be to have improved views to the river from the terrace, some of the shrubbery needs pruning. We had added company from Trevor the Toad and Larry the Lizzard !!

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 ##### Anj R.

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. ##### Anna Kerr-Smiley Stayed 13 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor O. 1 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excelente experiência!

Alles ist noch viel schöner als auf den Fotos und das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, sauber und schön hell. Das Haus bietet viel Platz und viele Dinge sind automatisiert (Rolläden, Pool, Licht etc.). Draußen gibt es eine Vielzahl von Plätzen zu entdecken und man findet auch bei Hitze immer einen schönen schattigen Platz. Ein wunderbarer Garten mit ausgeklügelter Bewässerung umgibt das Haus. Die Lage ist ruhig und man sitzt mitten in der wunderbaren Natur. Der Pool ist komfortabel angelegt und eine tolle Gelegenheiten sich nach einer Wanderung abzukühlen. Das war nicht nur bei den Kindern beliebt und man muss dazu sagen, dass er nahezu täglich gereinigt wurde. Die Tischtennisplatte und der Kicker sind in einwandfreiem Zustand und waren bei den Kindern immer für eine Abwechslung gut. Die Küche haben wir viel genutzt und sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Vom Haus aus lässt sich der Nationalpark Peneda-Gerês sehr gut erkunden, bis zur Atlantikküste sind es etwa eine Stunde Autofahrt und auch das haben wir genutzt. Braga und Porto sind lohnende Ziel, gut zu erreichen und auch das Douro-Tal (zu empfehlen: Passadiços do Paiva durch die Serra da Freita) ist erreichbar und einen Tagesausflug wert. Nach unseren Wanderungen und Ausflügen war es immer wieder eine Wohltat "nach Hause" zu kommen, in den Pool zu springen und auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und den Sonnenuntergang zu bewundern, wir haben sogar den Kometen Neowise ohne Probleme und ohne störende Lichter bewundern können. Gloria hat uns sehr nett willkommen geheißen, wir haben uns über das Begrüßungspaket und auch das Abschiedsgeschenk sehr gefreut und man hat gemerkt, dass Sie alles für unser Bestes vorbereitet hatte und Sie war immer ansprechbar. Alles war hervorragend organisiert, die notwendigen Prozesse rund um Corona waren für uns perfekt und überhaupt nicht störend und somit für uns als 5köpfige Familie sehr gut gelöst. Es war ein rundum gelungener Urlaub in einem perfekten und gemütlichen Ferienhaus. Wir haben Portugal nach unseren Erfahrungen in Madeira und auf den Azoren noch mal auf eine ganz besondere Weise kennenglernt und können den Norden von Portugal somit auf jeden Fall empfehlen. ##### Susanne S.

Está perto das prinicipais atrações do PNPG, mas é tão agradável que dá vontade de nunca sair. Destaco a cozinha bem equipada, a privacidade da propriedade, a zona exterior, onde está a piscina, a zona de churrasco, a mesa de pedra, os matrecos e a mesa de ping-pong. A vista é muito bonita e permite ver os mais bonitos pores-do-sol. A casa está extremamente bem tratada e, mesmo a ausência de algumas peças de decoração - devido às atuais medidas de segurança - não lhe retira o encanto. Junto ao portão há espaço suficiente para estacionar quatro carros, sem problema. A anfitriã é muito acessível e simpática, fazendo questão de saber se está tudo bem e se não precisamos de nada. Repetiria a experiência. ##### Ana S.

Am Pool, beim Tischtennis oder der selbst gegrillten Dorade nebst Vinho Verde lässt es sich herrlich entspannen, begeistert haben uns auch der Nationalpark, Land und Leute. Vielen Dank an Gloria, der unser Wohlbefinden sehr am Herzen lag. ##### Jens B.

La vue sur le lac, le jardin arboré, et la piscine agissent comme un aimant. Trés belle prestation, un acceuil trés chaleureux des propriétaires et une région superbe. ##### Henry F.

The house was nice, with all modern comfort present. We received some delicious welcome gifts in the fridge, what was very thoughtful. We received fresh linnen each new week and the swimming pool was cleaned every morning. Also for the kids there were a lot of extra activities besides the great swimming pool (ping pong table, swimming pool, table football, games in the kids bedroom, ...). The garden was nice and we enjoyed the terras for eating with a beautiful view on the valley. The sunset was amazing every night! We surely recommend this place and location to all our friends and relatives and will be more than pleased to come back! Gloria charmed us from the first minute we arrived and made us feel at home instantly! ##### Sara V. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018
