Summary: We spent a very nice week here at the end of June. Greeted by Eduardo and his parents who had provided cake and a bottle of port. Nothing was too much trouble - Eduardo doing the translating. The polytunnel garden below the property is for the use of guests and we loved picking vegetables, salad and the strawberries. The pool is very nice and well maintained, and the house and pool have good and interesting views onto the river. The water-park opposite was not too intrusive, and we had all our evening meals outside in a lovely tranquil setting. The house details were a little unclear regarding the bathrooms, but each of the three double bedrooms has its own well equipped bathroom with decent showers and plenty of hot water, Choice of two decent sized supermarkets in Amarante nearby - Intermarche and Continental. Continental was a bit easier to get to and better stocked. Amarante was a very nice town (our favourite of the towns we visited in the area), not too big, and with good restaurants. Overall - highly recommended if you want to stay near here, and thank you Miquelina.

Summary: We (three adults and a five year old) had a lovely week staying in Miquelina and Eduardo's property. The house is easily accessible from the motorway but is down a little road so not affected by road noise. It took us less than an hour from Porto airport. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and a well stocked veg patch. We were met at the house by Miquelina and Eduardo and their daughter who translated for them. They kindly gave us a home made cake and a bottle of Porto and showed us around. We were able to help ourselves to freshly grown vegetables throughout the week and there is an abundance of fresh mint for mojitos! The photos of the house are an accurate representation and the kitchen is well equipped for indoor and outdoor cooking. We also had access to a washing machine. We really enjoyed the local area. We visited the beach near Porto and saw some rockpools; caught the end of the June celebrations in Amarante, with a fun fair and a parade; walked the Paiva walkway; visited the castle and abbey in Guimaraes and spent the day in Porto on the way back to the airport. The rest of the time was spent around the terrace and pool. Overall we would highly recommend a stay here.

Summary: We were warmly received by Miquelina and Eduardo who oriented us to their historic home and property and left us a cake and a bottle of port to begin our stay. Figs, quince and plums were ripe in the orchard and vegetables fresh from the garden made for delicious meals prepared in their fully equipped kitchen. We delighted in watching the early morning fog fade as the sun reached the river valley making beautiful views from each room and the patio. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the more than ample, very clean, comfortably decorated space. Travel to Oporto, the Douro Valley and north is easy from this location. Amarante is a charming town just up the road and has all we needed for groceries, wine (before we began our tasting tours!) and restaurants. Obrigada Miquelina, Eduardo and Eduardo for your hospitality! We're so happy to have started our visit to wonderful Portugal at your home in the north. We loved your house!

Summary: We are four mature adults (one married couple plus two single women) who have travelled together for numerous years, renting houses in several European countries. This house certainly met our needs with three comfortable bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. When we arrived, we were greeted by our gracious host Miquelina and her husband, both of whom don't speak English. However, their charming son (I"m sorry I can't remember his name!) was there as well and served as both host and translator. A fresh-baked cake and a fresh bottle of Port assured our welcome as well. The house is furnished comfortably and tastefully. The kitchen has everything you may need. It was supplied with many staples, including coffee to get us going, sugar, salt, etc. The property has a lovely large garden and we were invited to harvest vegetables from it, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. (Tomatoes, zucchini, beans, lettuce, herbs.) The swimming pool is a wonderful luxury. It is beautifully situated on the property and we took advantage of it every day after our day of sight-seeing. There is a lovely deck with comfortable furniture, including a large table that served as our dining table every night. Somehow there are no mosquitoes and at dusk the ubiquitous flies seem to go to sleep, so being outside was a pleasure. We had dinner by candlelight and then played cards on the same table until midnight. The house is located very conveniently for day-trips. We easily traveled to the Douro valley, visited Braga and Guimareis, and spent two separate days in Porto. The house is located outside the very charming town of Amarante and we loved our time there as well. It was very easy and quite pleasant to make all arrangements with Miquelina. She was wonderfully responsive and obviously enjoys making sure her guests our comfortable. Our only reservation about this house involves the water park across the river. The music there begins mid-morning and continues until dusk. On our second day there (Sunday) apparently they had a guest DJ and the thumping music was quite intrusive. Although the rest of the week never had music that was quite so intrusive, we did live in fear that it might happen again. Happily, it didn't. If you are the kind of person who goes to the beach and doesn't mind hearing the music of the person next to you, you will be fine. As classical musicians, we were quite distracted by the sound. Despite that, we loved the house.

Summary: My friends and I (7 people) stayed in the villa for 4 nights and absolutely loved it from the very beginning. Our first impression was great! The owners are very lovely, welcoming and always ready to help! The house is great, very spacious, decorated very tastefully, clean and equipped in everything you need to have a perfect holiday. We adored the BBQ area, garden, pool and the stunning views. I will definitely keep this property in mind if I'll be coming back to Portugal.
