We had such a fantastic stay. Floriane was away but Christophe was amazing and so generous. We were made to feel totally at home and welcomed. We had everything we needed. The house is a very serene environment for anyone who wants a relaxing vacation. We would give more than 5 stars if we could and would highly recommend!
Specifically:
The Villa: there are actually two villas on the property, we stayed at the smaller of the two since there were only two of us and our dog. It was very spacious. What we appreciated most was knowing that it was completely renovated by Floriane and Christophe—the inside is completely new and modern but the outside still holds the original stones and features. The bed was super comfortable and we slept great.
The surroundings: the grounds are fantastic—it’s so large and it’s completely gated. The pool was so great, it was very hot when we were there so it was quite refreshing after a long day out. The garden area is very relaxing with many places to sit and lounge. There are also lots of fruiting trees around and it’s just a great atmosphere overall.
It’s dog friendly: we had our 4 yr old Bernese Mountain Dog with us and she was welcomed as much as we were. For those who are looking for a dog friendly place, this is it! For those who have to leave their furiend behind, you’ll be welcomed by Pablo, their 3 yr old Rottweiler who is just the sweetest and cuddliest dog ever!
We can’t say enough good things about this place. We used it as our base to go to Porto, Aveiro, and the Douro Valley. Thank you Christophe and Pablo for being such amazing hosts!
