This house exceeded all our expectations. No wonder Luis is superhost! Sparkling clean, the house was truly perfectly clean and everything well located. Luis welcomed us and showed us the surroundings as well as the house and the basement which he has wines and some of his homemade products. We were also welcomed with some sweets and liquors! The area is beautiful as well as the views from the house. From the house we drove to the Paiva Walkways and Arouca, a beautiful small town worth the visit. Next day we drove to Aveiro as it is 40 minutes drive. We strongly recommend this house, Luis will go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and is a perfect place to escape the busy city life. Luis and his wife make delicious mermelades and liquors which you can enjoy and bring some with you. Breakfaste is included and is delicious! You can also cook if you like. There are groceries stores as well as gas stations nearby. There are many other places around to visit, just ask Luis and he will provide details. We loved this part of Portugal and want to be back sometime. This area is a no miss since is a very different sensation compared to Porto or Lisbon and definately totally worth the visit. Whether you want to relax or have an exciting time, this house will provide for any of those.
