Paradise!

We simply loved this house! Indoors it has got everything you need but most spectacular is the garden with the pool, the views, the space, the orange- and lemon trees and the great bbq-area. So highly recommended!

A beautiful house with stunning views across the valley. Pool and barbecue are were perfect. The town is walkable although it’s a bit steep walking back! There’s a bakery, butchers, small supermarket and a bar/pizza place. Easy travel to Braga and the coast - both less than an hour away. Fantastic!

Fantastic holiday accommodation

We had a wonderful stay at Fontainha house. The setting is idyllic, it’s very peaceful and the surrounding views are stunning. The pool and gardens are wonderful, and the house was equipped with everything we needed. Our hosts were very accommodating and helpful with providing local information and we took up some of these suggestions for trips out and about. It was a beautiful part of the world to explore and a lovely house to come back to and enjoy each day.

Great house

We enjoyed our stay at this nice holiday home. It is situated on the hill side with a beatifull view. The pool area is great. The small village of Caldelas is reachable by foot in 15 minuttes, if you are in good health. There is 2 small grocery stores, a cafe/bakery and a butcher. A hike up the mountain is recommended.

Far from Porto

The place was nice but hard to find and an hour from Porto. There was 1 towel per person, not much toilet paper. There were no garbage bags, soap for washing, paper towels, dish towels, instructions for what to do with garbage, and I could go on. When the hot water stopped working we contacted the host but heard nothing from her. When we were first arriving we were lost. She just kept giving us the address (which we had). Then she texted us multiple times about the jacuzzi that we didn't even go near. The house itself needs updating. It is in a beautiful spot and is comfortable inside. The pool is lovely as well.

schön - aber klar renovierungsbedürftig

Haus & Lage sind im Grundsatz wirklich schön, allerdings diverse Einrichtungsgegenstände mittlerweile mehr als in die Jahre gekommen bzw. renovierungsbedürftig & auch grundsätzliches Equipment fehlte (bspw. Mülleimer, Zitronen-/Orangenpresse, .. Womit wir uns am wenigsten wohl gefühlt haben, war der im ganzen Haus sehr vernehmliche, muffige Geruch & diverse Feucht-/Schimmelstellen. Fazit - ein wirklich sehr schönes Haus mit einem tollen Außenbereich - aber der klaren Notwendigkeit einer Renovierung!

Praktische woning, mooi uitzicht

Woning is zeer praktisch, groot terras met buitensalon en mooi uitzicht, surplus zijn het zwembad en de jacuzzi, beiden eveneens met mooi uitzicht. Eigenaars verwelkomden ons hartelijk en gaven een rondleiding in het huis plus goede tips om de streek te verkennen. We hebben een zeer aangename vakantie doorgebracht met als enig klein minpuntje de weg naar het huis die zeer smal is.

Mucha tranquilidad

Tiene una vista muy bonita, esta un poquito aislado para mi gusto pero en 15 min en coche estas en Vilaverde, y en media hora en Braga. Creemos que a la casa le falta mantenimiento no funcionó el horno ni el extractor de humos , la piscina de noche no se encendía, aún así disfrutamos la estancia.

Agradeço teu comentário, mas quero esclarecer que os fornos estão a funcionar, um a gás outro a eletricidade. A exaustão estava a funcionar antes de entrares na casa. Quanto a piscina, basta ligar o interruptor, deixei o contato para qualquer ajuda, estou sempre disponível. Obrigado

Séjour formidable et reposant

Maison superbe et spacieuse, piscine et jardin magnifiques, vue panoramique extraordinaire. Vacances de rêve. Les photos sur le site reflètent parfaitement la réalité. Chaque soir on assiste à un magnifique coucher de soleil. Maison excentrée : calme absolu mais l'accès est un peu compliqué. Contrairement à ce qui est indiqué dans les équipements, il n'y a pas de lave-vaisselle : vraiment dommage. Le réglage de l'eau chaude est hasardeux.

Well Furnished, Clean Villa in a Private Location

Five of us stayed at House of Charm for a week and had a great time (even if the weather didn't live up to promises) The villa is clean and has been furnished to a nice standard. There is good air conditioning in each of the three bedrooms and the upstairs livingroom/kitchen. The balcony has a fantastic view over the hills and the pool is well maintained. There are essentially no direct neighbours so we felt like we could make noise by the pool and wouldn't be disturbed. A car is an absolute must. There is a local 'corner shop' 15 mins walk away that sells the very basics. I recommend speaking with the helpful host before leaving Porto airport as I originally got the villa location wrong, which was not helpful in the dark at midnight. The single road leading up to the house is steep and must be taken slowly - our rental car couldn't make it with 5 people plus luggage! We really enjoyed the city of Porto (about 1 hour away) as well as the National Park to the North. The Villa owners were very helpful and quickly responded to our messages.

Nous nous y sommes sentis a l aise et nous la recommandons Merci encore à Joacquina pour sa gentillesse Patricia

Lovely House ideal for larger family group

We really enjoyed our stay at Fountainha house. The owner Joaquina and her daughter were lovely and helpful and welcomed us to the house and said goodbye when we left. The house itself was equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Everything was well maintained and everything worked. There are different spots within the grounds to eat relax depending on the time of day and the weather. There is a fabulous view across the valley and there is a magnificent picture window which allows you to enjoy it at any time of day. The pool is great and we were able to use it every day. The location is handy for sightseeing trips in all directions and we were able to enjoy both coast and mountains from here. We are a couple in our 50's and can recommend Fountainha house to any age group. I can well imagine that larger family groups with children of all ages would appreciate the facilities the house offers.
