A wonderful peaceful, vineyard based holiday
We stayed for two weeks at the end of September. We expected mixed weather and that is what we had. The first week was cloudy but warm which gave us a chance to explore local cities like Braga and Guimaraes. The second week we had glorious sunshine and made the most of the swimming pool.
The house has a lot of character with living accommodation over two floors with a spiral staircase, and the outside terrace or balcony was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset. As someone in another review commented, the pool is quite a walk from the house down steps and cobblestone paths, and so it may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. However when you get there the pool is lovely. Having the pool house with the extra fridge, dishwasher etc was ideal for relaxed lunches. We could imagine teenagers using the two bedrooms in the pool house to get away from their parents - and vice versa!
The vino verde from the vineyard was delicious! We were fortunate enough to be there during the vine harvest and were invited to join in harvesting the grapes. For us it was a once in a lifetime experience.
