A casa do Pedro tem todas as condições para acolher pelo menos 5 pessoas.
O local é de um sossego incomparável e ótimo para conviver com a natureza pura.
Será para repetir, mas talvez, por um período maior...

Superbe séjour à la quinta endroit calme propre et très bien situé proche d'Amarantes et Porto. Idéale pour les familles avec enfants de tous âges.
Mention particulière à la personne qui gère la propreté de l'établissement qui est toujours très gentille et souriante.
Le logement était spacieux, la terrasse privatif est un plus et la piscine est très agréable bien qu'un peu fraîche.
Merci pour tout nous reviendrons avec plaisir

Toda a quinta precisa de ser cuidada. As casas precisam de manutenção. Lareira deitava fumo, mesa de bilhar toda partida, casa a cheirar a mofo. O salão de jogos precisa de manutenção. Muito aquém daquilo que esperávamos.
