Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This carefully renovated country house, where old and new seamlessly combine, provides you with everything you could need for an unforgettable stay in this picturesque part of northern Portugal. Inside, you'll find a calming palette of neutral tones, accented with restored original stone features, while outside a range of inviting seating areas put together with comfort in mind await you. Then of course there is that lovely lawn (perfect for a picnic or for any little ones to play on), the beautiful swimming pool that's simply made for sun-drenched afternoons, and even a mini football pitch and volleyball net for those who feel like getting active. If you fancy firing up some more friendly competition, there's also table tennis that's sure to get everyone involved. For something extra special, you can arrange cooking classes at the home – ideal if you would like to try your hand at replicating Portuguese specialties (and the well-equipped kitchen or typical outdoor churrasco provides the perfect place to do so). As evening turns to night, grab a chilled glass of regional Vinho Verde, head out to the terrace and listen to the sounds of the cicadas as the mouthwatering cooking smells begin to fill... the air.
