The property was well located with easy and good access to Aramante the Douro valley and Porto. The garden and house are secluded and the surrounding area of vineyards was very quiet and peaceful. The house was really well equipped and very nice with lots of hot water and towels for the pool. We enjoyed walking around the area and into Aramante along the new footpath next to the river. We had a really relaxing stay and would throughly recommend the house to people.

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.

Charmant parardijsje
Wij waren hier een weekje met onze oudere kinderen, en hebben genoten van het huis. Het is net of je in het huis van vrienden verblijft. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig, prettig zwembad, keukengereedschap, inclusief afwasmachine en heerlijke wijn (€6 per fles). Het was warm overdag, maar het huis blijft koel. Er is geen wifi, wat op zicht geen probleem is, want er is goed bereik met de telefoon, maar dat heeft bij ons wel veel data gekost. (zorg voor wat extra GBs, als dat relevant is) Onderaan de heuvel 5-10 min. Lopen, is een mooi rivierstrandje, met nieuw aangelegd wandelpad richting Amarante (5km?). Waar allemaal leuke restaurantjes & meerdere supermarkten zitten. Helemaal top!

Nous avons passé un bon sejour . Diogo a été facilement joignable ; bonne situation pour visiter la région; exterieurs agréables, grande piscine bien rafraîchissante; il faisait un peu chaud à l'étage dans les chambres des enfants (plein été); sinon tout était bien.

Charmante maison traditionnelle proche de la nature
La maison toute en pierre est bien équipée et spacieuse : il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la cuisine et dans les chambres. Nous avons apprécié la piscine privative et le jardin qui est magnifique (bien entretenu et fleuri). La présence d'une suite parentale est un plus. Malgré l'absence de clim nous n'avons pas souffert de la chaleur car la maison reste fraîche. La maison est bien située à proximité de la rivière (on peut s'y baigner) et il est possible de visiter facilement les environs, dont Porto (à environ 40min de voiture). Le propriétaire très sympa nous a gentiment accueilli en français. Merci !

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!

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.

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.

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.
