The rustic farm is just marvellous! We had one of the most wonderful holidays ever there: The house has a perfect mixture of simple and elegant, modern and old, indoor cozyness and outdoor garden nature with fireflies in the orchard at night. You can sit inside at the fireplace or, as we most often did for it was summertime, outside in the garden, drinking wine, barbecueing while watching the sun go down in the valley... For relaxing in the shade during a hot day there's a great terrace with a hammock and deckchairs under a walnut tree. The farm is located in a nice little city in the hills 40-50 min from Porto and 30 min from the beach (by car), so there's plenty of things to do either in nature or in the city.
But the most astonishing part of our stay there was the host: Dulcinea, Guilherme's mother, is just incredible. She is open, warm and lively and always came with new ideas for excursions (she even took us herself to many great spots in the area and made us meet the most interesting people there), brought fresh bread or a bottle of Port Wine. Priceless. Love. We'll come back!
