My 9 year old son and I had a truly fantastic time at Diogo and Regina's house. Waking up every morning to the sound of the river, eating breakfast out on the rocks, watching the river flow by slowly and listening to the birds, was such a calming and inexplicable beautiful way to begin our day.
We stayed for 17 days and had plenty of time to just hang around the house, swim in the pool, climb on the rocks, search for frogs and birds, clap the goats occasionally passing by with an old man, and watch the stars come out at night.
The nearby Vila do Conde brought about long walks by the ocean, huge Atlantic waves and several possibilities of eating out, activities, historical spots etc.
Besides that the area holds so many possibilities regarding, nature, history, gastronomi and culture, and I would highly recommend staying at Diogo and Regina's forest/mountain/river get away. They were both incredibly helpful and kind, and I was so glad to get to know them and thankful to have spent our holiday in such a beautiful place.
Thank you Diogo and Regina, all the best to both of you..
