Great location, very nice swimming pool. Large accommodation and good host. Mosquito nets would have been nice, the house feels a bit dark inside. But most of the time is spent outdoors so no problem. Perfect location to visit Porto and surroundings!

Exceded our expectations

Our hosts, Afonso and Manuela, were wonderful, welcoming, and super helpful. The dwelling is a large house on a farm with a vineyard and lemon trees. This serene setting is a delightful 10 minute walk away from the train station for a short 30 - 40 min ride to downtown Porto. We would highly recommend this accommodation, and would love to call it home.

Beautiful and peaceful location

This is a very charming old property which has been lovingly cared for by its owner. Although in the centre of a small village in the vicinity of Porto, it has a beautiful aspect and view over farmland - maize and vines. The pool makes this a perfect family holiday venue. You can walk to a baker and a butcher and fruit shop in the town and the supermarket is not far by car. It also benefits from being within a 40 minute train ride of Porto - which is a magical and architecturally stunning city full of energy. we loved our stay.

Beautiful!

We had a very lovely stay! The house is very private and the swimming pool is very large en nice! The house is very cosy and nicely cold in the warm weather. The two bedrooms in the house are equipped with airco which is nice. The downstairs bedroom stays nice and cold through the thick walls. We were welcomed by Alfonso who is the woner and very helpfull with tips about the surroundings, etc. We would recommend this accommodation!

Cete villa

Great location for exploring Porto with only a short train journey to the city. Lovely pool area and excellent communication with the host who was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Property would benefit from updating and it would be nice to be provided with more essentials such as bin bags, washing up liquid and tea towels. It is a self catering property. Overall though a very enjoyable stay.

Very helpful owner

Our stay was made especially pleasant by the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner. He could not have been better. Because it was an old stone house the availability of electrical outlets for charging phones etc and for appliances was very limited. Perhaps the charm of an old house. The swimming pool was a wonderful attraction on hot days.

Stay in Cete

Cete is a great location for visiting Porto. It is a 30-40 min train journey and 10 min walk to the station. Very reasonable for food although more of a suburbs location than a tourist place - restaurants are traditional, reasonably priced but cafe come restaurants. Our host Afonso was very helpful and available. House was lovely traditional Portuguese - only complaint would be the cooking stove which was quite temperamental and caused the electric fuse switches to flick off. Also not enough electrical plug points but we accepted it was old and traditional and we liked that. Swimming Pool was lovely - cold but nice size. Scenery was lovely from house too. We would recommend this place for a good base for seeing Porto and surrounding areas and relaxing around a pool

A little gem in the Portuguese countryside

My girlfriend and I spent a lovely week in this property in July 2022. A stay here is highly recommended due to the peace, quiet, beautiful views and tranquil surroundings. The temperature hit 37 degrees while we were there and so we very thankful of the good size pool and multiple shady areas in the grounds. The property itself is best described as traditional and rustic, and it all works well. Particularly pleasing (and necessary) was the air conditioning in both downstairs bedrooms. There is a comfortable sitting room, with a terrace on the first floor, but we did not use very much because of the hot weather. Cete, the place where the property is located, is not a tourist town. But the shops there have everything you need including cafes, a small supermarket (a larger one is located in the next town), a butchers and bakers. We would recommend that anyone who stays here does hire a car as it would have helped us massively with our big shop when we first arrived The day to day shopping is a short walk away. The only other thing to mention is that being located in the countryside you will have insects aplenty, which can be annoying occasionally. Fly swatters were provided! :) All in all, a thoughly recommended property if you are looking for an escape from everything.

Très bonne gestion avant l'arrivée dans la location car échange de messages directement avec le propriétaire. Aucune attente à l'arrivée à la maison car le propriétaire nous attendait et il nous a fait une visite très rapidement en français. Nous ont été très sympathique et on fait le maximum pour répondre à nos besoins. La maison est en pleine nature avec une vue superbe et l'endroit est très tranquille donc idéal pour se reposer

Piscine non chauffée, déçus car dans l'annonce il n'était pas précisé qu'on avait une vue direct sur les lignes de chemin de fer situé à 200m de la maison, du coup de nombreux passages de train dès 5h du matin jusqu'à minuit avec la nuisance que cela entraîne, maison très sombre, litreries datantes et usées ainsi que l'électroménager, aucun jeux de plein air, il a fallut composé avec un ballon d eau chaude de 50 litres pour les besoins journaliers de 4 personnes, pour finir juste un conseil bien lire l'annonce.

La divergence entre votre appréciation et les 87 autres est éloquent. Personne n'a jamais été déçu que la piscine (extérieure) ne soit pas chauffée, et ce n'est d'ailleurs pas suggéré dans notre publicité. La plupart des trains qui circulent sur cette ligne (à environ 200 mètres de la maison) sont électriques et ne produisent pas de bruit notable. Les deux trains de marchandises qui passent quotidiennement produisent effectivement plus de bruit, mais rien qui ne gêne la plupart des gens. La plupart de nos appareils électroménagers ont entre un et deux ans, à l'exception du four, dont le remplacement est prévu pour la fin de la saison. Il est totalement faux d'affirmer que nous ne disposons que de 50 litres d'eau chaude par jour. Un chauffe-eau électrique de 50 litres est installé dans l'une des salles de bains. Une fois cette eau utilisée, il faut attendre environ 30 minutes pour qu’autres 50 litres soient disponibles. Dans l'autre salle de bains et dans la cuisine, l'eau chaude est produite en continu par un système au gaz. Je m'abstiendrai de commenter les autres défauts signalés en raison de leur évidente subjectivité et, de mon point de vue, de leur absurdité.

Superbe séjour au Portugal! Tres belle maison avec un bel environnement, la piscine a été apprécié vu les fortes chaleurs que nous avons eu.La maison restait fraiche ce qui etait très appréciable et 2 des 3 chambres beneficient de la climatisation. Le propriétaire est tres disponible et tres sympathique, on le remercie pour son accueil.Avec un plus pour nous, il parlait très bien Français.Je recommande vivement cette maison, rapport qualité prix parfait ! Et l'emplacement est ideal pour visiter Porto par le biais du train.Si je dois revenir je reviendrais.

Rust en ruimte landelijk maar toch dichtbij

Mooie woning op rustige locatie op loopafstand van restaurantjes/bakker en kleine maar goed gevulde dorps supermarkt. Station is ook op 10 min loopafstand, je bent zo in Porto.De woning is mooi en ruim , 2 slaapkamers met airco. De 2 persoonskamer onder de woning heeft geen airco en op de kleine badkamer is een waterlekkage waardoor er na elk douchebeurt water staat, we hebben dit probleem aan de eigenaar doorgeven. Wat ik wel even wilde vermelden is dat er in de beurt een boerderij is gevestigd waardoor je veel last hebt van vliegen. Maar we hebben genoten van ons verblijf en zeker geen spijt. De eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

El sitio es muy bonito, ya que está rodeado de árboles y mucha vegetación. Máxima intimidad y tranquilidad. Fuimos en agosto, durante el día calor y por la noche refrescaba, lo que era perfecto para dormir, pero el agua de la piscina también se refrescaba para nuestro gusto que somos de clima mediterráneo. Encantados con el trato con el propietario, Alfonso.
