Très belle semaine a la Casa da Fonte. Maison luxueuse très bien équipée: Climatisation, piscine, bbq, machine espresso, babyfoot, etc. La maison est proche de la gare de Cete donc il est facile de se rendre à Porto et dans les environs en train. Attention, l'acces est difficile (en pente et étroit) et le GPS indique plusieurs chemins d'acces dont certains non pratiquables. On s'habitue vite mais la journée de l'arrivée avec une voiture de location cela peut surprendre.

Lovely relaxing family holiday in a great house
This is the best property we ever stayed in. It has everything, lovely secure private gardens, an amazing pool and playroom which my teenage children really enjoyed. The house has all mod-cons and plenty of space. We really enjoyed the beauty of the location and found it an excellent location to explore Porto and the Doura valley, with easy access to the nearby motorway. However, a car is a necessity. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again when visiting Porto.

Lovely villa
The villa was lovely, it had everything you could need, with a shop 7 mins walk away. Everything else you would need a car, we got Ubers everywhere which would be around 26-28 euros one way to Porto. We decided to do this rather than drive. The swimming pool was lovely and the beds were comfy. Everything worked, also had a coffee machine which we used daily. we would recommend this place.

Nice summer gem
We enjoyed our stay in Casa da Fonte. It's not a very practical house - the bedrooms are spread out and the kitchen is outside the main house, but it's a nice place for a summer weekend. I wouldn't advise families with young children to stay there for a long period of time as it's not very safe for kids, there's loads of stairs and the swimming pool doesn't have a protective barrier. The fresh bread every morning was a lovely touch. Thank you to Alexandra and husband for a warm welcome.

Excellent house with very private garden
Really enjoyed our stay. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The house is beyond beautiful and the owners had organised their friend to meet and greet on check in. He could not have done more for us, showing us where local supermarkets and restaurants are. Checked in a number of times via text to make sure everything was ok.

Super experience
It really is worth renting it. Maybe the location is a little confusing to find, especially when you reach it in the dark. But if you found it: Very very special. A big area in a very calm place, good with children and even dogs, you have everything you need, especially fresh rolls every morning. Very helpful and friendly owners. We only can highly recommend it.

A wonderful villa for ages
The villa can be hard to find but when you do, wow. The gardens are well looked after with lemon apple and pear trees, there gapes hanging all round the edge of the garden. The pool is a good size and in the sun most of the day. The villa has all the amenities you need and if you have children the basement is perfect with table football and pool table. There is also a small cinema with about 10 up to date films. The nearest restaurant is about a 20 minute walk there a few local bars that take about 10 to fifteen minutes to walk to. Where the villa is situated is in a quiet location and the view to the hills are nice. Alexandra and her partner are really helpful and only a phone call away. We had fresh bread rolls delivered every day free of charge. Overall I can not fault the villa or the owners would love to come back again one day

Family vacation with friends
Just lovely! Beautiful yard and a little garden. Excpecially for Scandinavians lemon tree on your own garden is just perfection. Good beds. Fresh buns every morning. Kitchen is well equipped. It's worth to visit on nearest wineyard: only 500m by road to up hill. Excellent green wine for 2€/bottle. Only negative thing was that bedroom of the basement was quite stuffy and humid

The hot water,when we had it,had to be rationed,two showers,then wait for two hours to get anymore!Two bathrooms,only heating in one.Needs to be rethought before letting out again in winter.Nice enough people,tried to be helpful,but should not have happened.Should really be compensated!!!!!!!

The property exceeded our expectations.
We had the most wonderful, relaxing holiday at this accommodation. Absolutely loved it! The house and gardens were amazing and the pool was lovely and larger than we expected. We had the added bonus of being able to contact the lovely and friendly owner if we had any questions. and we had fresh rolls delivered to the house every morning and our bedding changed after the first week. It's located in a beautiful, secluded area and you are never far away from a beach, supermarket or places to visit. The only thing I would say is that it can be a little tricky to get into the gate initially, as the house is situated at the bottom of a steep hill. However, once you get used to it it is fine. We will definitely consider returning to this accommodation again in the future.

Villa parfaitement adaptée à des vacances en famille, 4 adultes et 2 ados. La maison est très propre, spacieuse , la piscine est parfaitement entretenue. Porto se situe à environ 20 minutes. Nous avons visité la région, parc de Geres, Braga, Guimaroes. Aqua Park Amarantes. Situation idéale ! Mais il faut une voiture pour se déplacer. André est très réactif, accueillant, toujours disponible pour nous conseiller ! La livraison du pain chaque matin était très appréciée + changement des draps et linge de toilette pendant le séjour (2 semaines). Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !
