Merci à Fernando père et fils pour leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité, leur accueil, leur réactivité. Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans une belle maison avec une piscine naturelle
sans produits chimiques.
Propriedade com tudo o que é necessario para umas ferias tranquilas e confortáveis. Espaço muito bem cuidado e limpo, proximo da cidade e de facil acesso. Proprietário muito atencioso. Superou todas as nossas expectativas.
Superaba nuestras expectativas! Los jardines preciosos, la casa con mucho encanto y unos detalles muy originales. Todo muy cuidado con mucho cariño.
El trato con el propietario excelente. Nos dio ademas unas recomendaciones de restaurantes por la zona muy buenas.
L accueil de Fernando est irréprochable, la maison est propre et bien équipée mais il y a un gros bémol.. La piscine. Même si fera à do nous a expliqué que l année était exceptionnelle car il manque u'e source et il a fait trop chaud, la piscine est verte, pleine d algues, ça glisse tellement il y a des algues. Il y a plein d insectes, des grosses punaise d eau (qui se plaisent dans les eaux stagnantes) et la grenouille qui vient de temps en temps. Nous ne souhaitions pas nous baigner dans une mare. Fernando nous a répondu qu s'il y a de la vie, c est que l eau est saine: non monsieur, il y a des animaux dans les marais, les étangs, etc.. Et pour a tant je. N ai pas envie de m y baigner. Bref grosse déception car je l avais loué pour ma piscine, indispensable pour nous comme chaque été.
Ce logement est idéal pour deux personnes avec un enfant .Il est idéalement situé .
La maison est tres propre .
Elle est conforme à l'annonce.
Fernando est accueillant et nous guide durant notre séjour.
C'est un endroit idéal , nous serions prêt pour répartir
Grande maison spacieuse et confortable avec tout le nécessaire pour se sentir chez soi dans très belle propriété arboré avec piscine d'eau de source.
Un grand merci à Fernando pour son accueil chaleureux discret et toujours là si besoin.
Je recomande cette location pour visiter le nord du Portugal
Uma semana sem dúvida a repetir. Tudo conforme as imagens. Uma casa ideal para umas férias a dois.. Tem tudo que precisamos quer para cozinhar quer para relaxar. 5*..
Localiza-se entre Braga, Guimarães e o Gerês por isso existe bastantes opções para visitar. A casa está bastante bem restaurada e tem tudo o que é necessário. A zona da piscina é bastante boa, só aconselhava mais iluminação nessa área.
Het huis is goed ingedeeld. Boven keuken en living, beneden koele slaapkamer en ruime badkamer.
Er is voldoende eetgerief/bestek, frigo is ruim en met klein diepvriesertje.
Het is aangenaam vertoeven aan het zwembad en gezellig om buiten te eten.
Maison avec beaucoup de charme et tout le confort nécessaire !
Propreté irréprochable.
Magnifique jardin arboré, avec pleins d'arbres fruitiers !
Piscine naturelle à l'eau de source, quel plaisir de se baigner sans sentir le chlore.
Le cadre est juste propice au repos (très calme)
Fernando, est très accueillant et vous met à l'aise en vous faisant sentir comme à la maison.
Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
A propriedade está num sitio bastante tranquilo e com rápido acesso aos principais pontos turísticos, como o Gerês, Braga ou Guimarães.
Casa, piscina e espaço exterior muito agradáveis e a hospitalidade e atenção do Fernando são Top. Aconselhamos vivamente. Único ponto a melhorar, o tamanho do frigorífico. A repetir certamente. Obrigada

maison très agréable plus grande et plus belle que les photos du site
idéal pour un couple avec ou sans enfant
merci encore aux propriétaires pour tous les choix de visite au nord du portugal
A casa é muito bonita, limpa, e bastante espaçosa. Casa está equipada com tudo necessário (talvez a única coisa que nos faltou é a máquina de lavar roupa). O exterior é fantástico. Queria de agradecer também o Sr. Fernando, foi muito simpático.
Conclusão - 5 estrelas!

Espero que tenham feito boa viagem de regresso a casa. Obrigado pelas palavras simpáticas acerca da nossa casa (vou tratar da máquina de lavar roupa). Cumprimentos.
Será por el efecto refrescante de la piscina o la comodidad de la casa, pero estamos deseando volver, después de unos días muy agradables .
Por su ubicación es ideal para visitar Braga, Guimaraes, Parque natural del Xerés y Oporto, está en una zona tranquila pero no aislada y en Povoa de Lanhoso dispones de lo necesario.
Fernando realmente fue muy atento y estuvo disponible y preocupado de nuestra comodidad.
Repetiremos!!!
