About this property

Casa do Forno: charming Farmhouse for relaxation with private garden

The "Casa de Penas de Cima" estate is located in northern Portugal in Geraz do Minho, 15 km from Braga, 20 km from Guimarães, 20 km from the Peneda-Gerês National Park, and 70 km from Porto and its international airport.
Set in a splendid location where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful and restful stay, the estate features four beautifully renovated independent farm buildings in an authentic Portuguese style:
• ‘Casa da Borboleta’, a 3-bedroom house,
• ‘Casa do Forno’, a 2-bedroom house with a private garden,
• ‘Casa da Colmeia’, a 2-bedroom house,
• ‘Casa das Azeitonas’, a 2-bedroom house.

The area also has a game room with billiards, table football, table tennis ... common to the 4 houses

The estate includes a stunning shared garden surrounding a large shared swimming pool (7 x 13 meters). There is also a shared games room with a pool table, table football and table tennis.

Wi-Fi access is available in each house, though please note that internet connectivity and phone signal may be weak due to the limited signal in the valley.
This farm house is ideally located for exploring Braga, Bom Jesus, Porto, the coast, Peneda-Gerês National Park, Guimarães, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima, and more.

Casa do Forno is a particularly charming and spacious holiday home, featuring a private garden surrounded by fruit trees and olive trees, with beautiful views over the valley.
Facing due south, the garden enjoys sunshine for much of the day. It is the perfect place to dine outdoors, soak up the sun or simply relax. The garden has its own patio, dining area and barbecue.

The house
Casa do Forno has two bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom with shower and WC:
• The first bedroom, located next to the living room, has two single beds.
• The second bedroom, accessible through the garden has a double bed.
The bedrooms have air conditioning.

Casa do Forno can accommodate up to 4 guests.
The spacious and comfortable living room is equipped with a TV and a video player.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, cooker and refrigerator, as well as a dining table for four. You will also find the original traditional bread oven, once used for baking bread, which is a particularly charming feature of the house.

Traditional charm and modern comfort
Spacious, warm and comfortable, the house has been renovated using quality materials to provide all modern comforts while preserving its original character and atmosphere.

The décor harmoniously combines contemporary elements with traditional Portuguese style. The original thick granite walls help maintain a pleasant temperature inside the house throughout the year, even on the hottest summer days.

A house steeped in history
Originally, Casa do Forno was used for storing and preparing food – bread, honey, cured meats, etc. – and also served as shelter for small farm animals.
Today, this former farm outbuilding has been transformed into a comfortable and charming holiday home, while retaining traces of its history and traditional use.

The house is strictly non-smoking.
