Highly recommend staying here! The villa is beautiful and set in lovely peaceful gardens. We really loved feeling as though we were in the middle of nowhere! The three bedrooms were all a good similar size and bathrooms lovely. We were 5 adults and there was plenty of room.
The villa is well equipped and we ate in most nights - going to Casa Rocha one evening on Ricardo's recommendation. The cod fishcakes were incredible!
I would recommend hiring a car. We drove into Porto a few times which took around 35 mins. There's a large supermarket less than 10 mins drive. If you are driving, when you come out of the gates, make sure you don't turn left to get to the main road - we made the mistake of following Google maps and went down what we now think is a dirt bike track and not for cars...! It made for a funny story but a little hair-raising at the time!
In terms of communication, Ricardo and his father Mario were very helpful and quick to respond. We will definitely return - thank you for having us!
