Fantastische feel good plek, heerlijk zwembad. Naast de rivier en vlakbij de oude stadskern van Amarante.
Amarante is a very nice town and the area has lots on the doorstep, riverside walks, river, greenway, bike hire available in town and lots of day trips to adjacent areas. Accomodation good and lovely pool

Maison typique
La maison est typique portugaise très chouette avec une jolie piscine . Seul problème c'est que les propriétaires habitent juste a côté, nous avons passé nos vacances accompagné des propriétaires avec plusieurs réflexions si j'avais su je n'aurais pas loué cette maison.
La experiencia a sido muy buena, los anfitriones geniales mejor imposible, siempre ayudando en todo lo que podían , super amables y hospitalarios. El lugar precioso y super tranquilo y la piscina mejor imposible.
La verdad que si podemos repetiremos, sin lugar a duda lo recomiendo.
Dar las gracias a Harry y a su mujer por ser los mejores anfitriones, sois unos excelentes propietarios , seguid así.
De parte de los cuatro muchas gracias por todo.
Un saludo.
En 2023, on peut encore trouver des hôtes incroyables avec une histoire atypique qui proposent un lieu fabuleux : la Casa Da Ponte.
Un domaine rénové avec goût qui offre tout ce que l'on souhaite pour être hors du temps et du monde, quelques jours.
Le vieux Amarante est superbe avec sa confeitaria de 1930, ses nombreux bars au cachet insoupçonnable.
Absolument recommandé.
High On Emotion ;)

Pics don't do this place justice!
We stayed here for 10 days with our teenage children and had planned to chill one day and sight see the next. That didn't quite work to plan as once we had spent a day by the pool lounging on the quality sun loungers we were hooked! We did go to Porto on the local bus which only took an hour and is well worth a visit, in fact we will come back for a weekend to explore it more. The cottages are in beautiful location and only around 3 miles to Amarante which has plenty of restaurants. By the way, this is by far the cheapest holiday we have ever had. We ate what and where we wanted and the most expensive meal including wine, desserts etc came to around £40!!! The cottages are very well equipped with all you'll need and very clean. Harry and Tina are lovely people and are there for you if you need them but not at all intrusive. North Portugal is completely different to the Algarve and if it's fish and chips you're after then this area wouldn't be for you. Definitely recommend it. Thank you Harry and Tina .
Maison agréable, entourée de verdure. Terrasse avec piscine très agréable, pour passer de bons moments avec les enfants mais aussi se reposer tranquillement. Hôte accueillant et discret
Un lieu authentique, insolite qui était parfait pour nous.
Verdure, relief et point de vue, nous sommes satisfaits.
Heureux d’avoir rencontré de belles personnes propriétaires de ce joli lieu.
Unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Perfekte Gestgeber im einem schönen Ferienhaus in verwunschne Lage im Flusstal

A picture postcard cottage set in beautiful surroundings.
Perfectly positioned to explore the local amenities and countryside, with plenty of restaurants and cafes a short drive away.A very good place to base an outdoors themed holiday or short break for an authentic feel of the real Portugal ! The hosts Tina and Harry are always very helpful with tips, help and local knowledge to make your stay an enjoyable experience. And if that isn't enough they can source you some really good red or white wines , what more could you want ?

Uma experiência fantástica!
Somos um pequeno grupo de amigos de 4 pessoas e estivemos na propriedade do Harry e da Tina na última semana de Agosto e foi uma experiência fantástica, além dos anfitriões serem umas pessoas 5 estrelas e extremamente simpáticas, foram sempre muito prestáveis e atentos a qualquer falta que pudéssemos sentir, a casa onde ficámos e mesmo os espaços comuns são extremamente bem pensados e muito aprazíveis! Nota-se que foi tudo pensado com um toque especial de carinho pelos proprietários. A Candy, uma cadela adorável também ajudou a tornar a estadia mais simpática assim como os nossos serões! Obrigada Harry e Tina! Cheers to that with G&T! Até uma próxima! Josefina, Fátima, Cristina e Miguel.
