My partner and I had a lovely, quiet winters retreat here. The location was great, the hosts were very attentive and the house was gorgeous. Dulcineia had lots of useful recommendations and left some really thoughtful touches. It was a little chilly here at this time of year, but with the gas heater on and some blankets we were cosy! The town offers everything one might need and with Porto, Lisbon and various national parks within driving distance there is much to do; the Molinologico just up the road has the best bread you will ever try! There are even nice walks directly from the front door, through the woods and along the river to a waterfall.
We had a few electrical issues but our hosts were quick to help find a resolution. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been the use of an oven.
Overall our stay was wonderful and we would both return and recommend.
