Beautiful Property
My family and I traveled from the four corners for a family reunion and to watch the England football match and we stayed at the Gatao house. The owner met us for check in. The house is very nice and in a spectacular setting. If you want a little slice of paradise in the lush Douro region, we highly recommended this casa.

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche im Haus. Der Pool und die Wiese sind sehr groß und sehr gepflegt. Morgens wird man von den Nachbar Hunden und Hähnen geweckt. Bei einer leeren Gasflasche haben wir sofort Abhilfe erhalten. Toller Gastgeber!

Super séjour
À part, pour trouver la maison, ce qui fut un peu compliqué, excellent séjour. Une maison agréable, endroit calme, piscine sympa... En bonus, le parking pour la voiture faisait un très beau terrain de pétanque! Diogo est joignable très facilement et vraiment gentil. À conseiller !

Bonitos jardines y piscina
Aunque no pudimos acabar la estancia por un problema familiar, daré mi valoración. Lo mejor de la casa es el jardín y sobre todo la piscina, es todo un relax. La casa en sí no es demasiado confortable, le hace falta una renovación, sobre todo los baños, pero es aceptable para unos días. Diogo es un anfitrión muy amable. Está a unos 10 minutos en coche de Amarante, que es una ciudad muy agradable.

Demeure de charme avec jardin splendide
Nous (adultes et enfants) avons tous apprécié notre séjour chez Diogo. La maison est agréable et l'extérieur idéal grâce à divers endroits qui permettent de rester à l'ombre lors de grandes chaleurs. La piscine est fantastique et le jardin qui l'entoure très agréable grâce aux voisins qui en prennent soin .

Lugar perfecto para relajarse
Han sido unos días perfectos para descansar La casa tiene todo lo que puedes necesitar para olvidarte del mundo. Las zonas de jardín, los exteriores y la piscina son mucho mejores de lo que se ve en las fotos. La zona, con el río, los viñedos....ideal para desconectar y disfrutar. Muy cerca de Amarante para todas las compras que tengas que hacer. Muchas gracias Diogo por todo, por la amabilidad, por los detalles con los niños, por la casa tan acogedora. Han sido unas vacaciones perfectas.

Tudo 5 estrelas. Muito bem equipada. Toda a comunicação necessária sempre prontos a responder e a ajudar. Para quem tem filhos pequenos um pormenor que ajuda muito é o facto da piscina ser na parte de trás e o jardim de lazer na parte da frente. Muito descanso relativamente a segurança dos pequenos em relação a piscina. Experiência para repetir sem dúvida.
