Wow! Simply heaven! From the moment we drove through the gates we were blown away by every detail of this beautiful property. Isabel was there to welcome us and her attentiveness, recommendations and attention to detail with personal touches was above and beyond throughout our stay. Every morning at 7.30 freshly baked, warm rolls were delivered :) On our last night she organised for a delicious Portuguese meal to be brought into the villa for us, which we highly recommend doing. The coffee machine and generous amount of pods was a great way to start the mornings. The spacious villa is just breathtaking, a beautiful mix of old stone and clean modern lines. The quality of the workmanship is top notch and the feel Isabel has for interior design is impeccable. It feels luxurious and homely at the same time. The view from every window, whether of the pool or over roof tiles or across farmland with a church in the distance was just lovely. Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own en-suite and is as beautiful as the next. We were 2 families sharing and it always felt spacious. Outdoors there are lots of areas for relaxing in, the pool is a great size, plus a fabulous large table for dining round and comfy sofas and coffee table for drinks. Our kids loved the Love Island feel of the outdoor space. It’s full of gorgeous flowers and Isabel and Francisco have put as much thought into the garden as the villa. Everything is done with such love and care. We loved hearing the cockerel from beyond the property throughout the day. One of my highlights was being able to pick sweet, juicy oranges straight from the tree for our sangrias around the pool. Just when you think you’ve seen it all there is a huge games room by the pool with tablefootball, darts and pool table. While there we explored the wonderful cities of Porto and Braga, the charming colourful Aveiro and swam in the natural pools in Geres National Park and have totally fallen for Northern Portugal. We have stayed in many beautiful properties over the years and this one has for me surpassed them all! Thank you Isabel for helping us make wonderful memories; we will definitely be back.
