Great place to stay with fantastic views

We had a lovely stay, with a friendly host who made sure we had information about the surrounding areas and places to visit. This is the first time a host had spent time with us in the evening for a glass of wine and talking.

Lovely, relaxing, unique location

We had a very relaxing time, and enjoyed ourselves doing very little, sometimes just sitting out on the veranda watching the trees and the day go by. Ellen is a lovely host, and made us feel very welcome.

A wonderful cottage in a special area of Portugal

This was our second stay at this cottage and we were not disappointed. The cottage sits in a secluded part of Ellens garden with spectacular views over Covas and the surrounding area. The cottage is well fitted out with everything you need for a self catering holiday although the restaurant's all serve up delicious food and inexpensive. Ellen has gone to a lot of trouble in identifying all the good spots to visit but you don't have to go to far to find your piece of paradise. The area, people ,food and wine makes your stay special and a must to consider time and time again. Ellen is a wonderful host and is always there to help if needed and of course Rafa the dog always their to greet you when you return home, making sure you are comfortable in the cottage before disappearing till the next time. Everything you need for a vacation, well done Ellen for letting us share your piece of Paradise

A cosy nest in the treetops

We arrived at the same time as a huge low pressure so had to wait until the end of the week before seeing Tree Top Cottage in all its glory. Fortunately Luis had very recently installed a wood pellet burner which fed the central heating and so we were cosy and warm in our treetop hideaway. When the sun eventually showed itself the views were amazing and we can quite understand why Ellen was drawn to this area, it is beautiful. Thank you Ellen for introducing us to village eating, the food was delicious and such good value. Where in the world would you be able to drink a jug of good wine and eat a three course meal followed by coffee for just 6 euros each? Being met by Ellen’s dog Raffa and showed to our accommodation was a first for us but obviously he is quite used to meeting and greeting. He really is adorable and we are surprised that no one has tried to take him back with them.

Retreat pur

Wir konnten uns 100%ig in Ellen's zauberhaftem Refugium entspannen und erholen. Versehen mit vielen Insidertipps haben wir einen Teil Nordportugal's kennen- und loeben gelernt. Ein wunderschöner Platz als Ausgangspunkt für viele lohnenswerte Ausflüge und eine super Gastgeberin.

Belle maison ( chalet)

cottage très sympathique dans un environnement verdoyant agréable et très calme, nous a charmé. Nous avons pu dormir sans entendre le bruit de véhicules. le chant des oiseaux à l’aurore nous a détendu et reposé. Merci pour votre amabilité et votre sincérité . Votre parcours de vie est très exceptionnel et très humain. Ce qui a transformé votre propriété en un havre de paix.

Petit coin de paradis

Magnifique, très reposant. Propreté et confort du logement impeccable. Nôtre hôte Ellen très conviviale, très serviable (elle a réussi à me prendre un rendez-vous rapide chez un ostéopathe) Nos deux chiens ont aussi apprécié le terrain ainsi que les compagnons à 4 pattes Rafa et Nina. Sejour tellement inoubliable que nous y retournerons l'an prochain.

Petit coin de paradis au coeur du Minho

Lieu idéal pour le repos et la découverte de cette tres belle région du Minho : collines à perte de vue, nature préservée, petites villes de caractère et océan à proximité. Gîte confortable et parfaitement entretenu, blotti au coeur des arbres, à quelques pas d'un parc naturel. Grande qualité de l'accueil d'Ellen, amoureuse des langues, soucieuse du bien-être de ses vacanciers et généreuse en conseils pour assurer le meilleur séjour. Une très belle destination !

Fantastic stay at Treehouse

Me and my husband and our two dogs stayed for 12 days at the Treehouse. We had such a fantastic and relaxing stay enjoying the house and beautiful surroundings. Great host who seemed to thought about everything you possible could need and provided for this. We highly recommend Treehouse!

Um paraíso em Portugal

Adorámos tudo. Desde a Ellen, ao Rafa, a tudo ao seu redor e principalmente o chalé. Foi tudo espetacular desde o início. A Ellen é a melhor hostess que já conhecemos com uma história de vida fascinante. O cão Rafa não há palavras para o descrever. Passava os dias connosco sempre a abanar a cauda. A propriedade é lindíssima e indescritível. Um sítio para todos conhecerem. E definitivamente para nós voltarmos!

Good basw

Overall Treetops is a lovely place to stay. Recommend not visiting out of season as local restaurants weren't open and travelling to other towns along narrow roads ar night is not ideal. The owner, Ellen, was very good providing details of places to visit in the area. Great location is you want to some walking as close to Serre D'Arga National Park. The location is very quiet and a nice place to escape the rat race.

Words cannot convey the beauty of Treetops!

A superior accommodation and location high above the beautiful village of Covas. Super comfortable bed and living areas, indoor and out, including barbecue. Fully equipped kitchen with staples provided. Hostess Ellen is like an old family friend immediately, yet never intruded on our stay. She provided excellent tour advice and directions to “secret” spots in the area. Welcoming community and restaurants, lots to see and do. Return each day to Treetops was like arriving in our own private sanctuary complete with a canary aviary! Seemed like the most pleasant spot on earth while we were there!

Amazing!

Our first visit to Portugal and it couldn't have been better. A warm welcome from Ellen, Rafa, Nina and Pumpkin! The location is absolutely stunning, everywhere we went was so picturesque. Lots of great recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants. It was so peaceful and the garden was totally private. I slept like a log the whole time, thoroughly recharged my batteries! Thanks to Ellen for her wonderful hospitality. Maybe see you again..
