Lovely relaxing stay near National Park
Lovely place to stay on the edge of the National Park. We were here for 3 nights to explore the National Park. It was a lovely place to explore. Didn't use the house much to be honest, as we were out walking all day. The kitchen was well equipped, plenty of cooking equipment and crockery. Shower was nice and warm. Host was lovely, approachable and welcoming. Thank you.

Simply fabulous
We highly recommend this accommodation to anyone that's looking forward to an amazing holiday stay in beautiful Portugal. The house is situated in a quiet mountain village surrounded by nature, a national park in the area and impressive hiking routes. It's equipped with aplenty necessities at arms reach, sufficient space, a lengthy pool, gorgeous construction and facilities and has pleasant room temperature with the help of numerous airconditioning that provide warm or cold circulation. The host is just the kindest, most generous host we've ever crossed paths with. You will feel right at home at this accomodation. Moreover, you might want to consider staying permanently. Do yourself and your travel partner(s) a favour and book this accomodation, don't hesitate, you won't regret it. We hope to return soon. Many thanks José. We loved our time spent at your home and in Portugal.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de José. L’emplacement est parfait pour visiter les cascades du parc national de Gérés. La piscine a été très apprécié de tout le monde. La maison est vraiment bien agencee et bien équipée. Pour 2 familles, chacune avait son intimité pour les espaces nuit. Même si nous n’avons pas rencontré José à l’arrivée ou au départ, il a toujours été disponible durant le séjour. Le seul bémol mais qui ne dépend pas de José, c’est les chiens du voisinage qui aboient jour et nuit.

Beautiful house with a nice view
Lovely stay. The house is a typical house located in a village near the National Park Peneda Geres. Plenty of light and nice garden with a swimming pool. The only point is there is neither blind nor curtains in the major bedroom. The owner is very responsive through WhatsApp.

Zalig verblijf in een huiselijke woning van alle comfort voorzien. Groot verwarmd zwembad met prachtig uitzicht. Ideaal was de wc en douche aan het terras. Enig minpuntje was het flauwe licht in de badkamer aan de master bedroom; niet evident voor mannen om zich daar te scheren. Maar badkamers genoeg. We zijn heel hartelijk ontvangen door José en hij heeft ons alle nodige uitleg gegeven.

Uma fatia do céu perto do Gerês
This is a great house that's far enough from the touristy and crowded area of Gerês, but close enough to drive there every day (~15 minutes). José welcomed us into his family's beautiful vacation house, made us feel at home & was very prompt and friendly when we had some setbacks. The pool is great (heated) and there's a BBQ area that's not very visible in the photos, which we definitely took advantage of! Our dog also loved the garden. We'll be back for sure.

Fantastic house with perfect view
Great surroundings in the mountain and close to national park. Shopping also close to the house. Very convenient. House very well equipped. There was all we needed. Very happy we chose the house it was just as we expected and we enjoyed our stay at the house all 14 days we have been there. Communication with the owner was perfect and we got all the help we asked for straight away. Jose has helped us every time we have been in contact and everything was really great. His recommendation for restaurant has been perfect :-) We really enjoyed staying in the house a lot.

Não temos palavras para descrever o quanto adorámos a nossa estadia nesta casa. Esteve tudo 5 estrelas e é o sítio perfeito para recarregar baterias e relaxar. O anfitrião Sr. José Amaro é super amável, prestável e sempre preocupado com o nosso bem estar. Esteve sempre disponível desde o primeiro contacto. As condições da casa são excelentes e a própria casa é única. As vistas são de tirar o fôlego e a piscina é a cereja no topo do bolo. Caso o objetivo sejam umas férias relaxantes e com muito convívio, este é o espaço ideal. Super recomendamos e tencionamos voltar. Muito obrigada. Adorámos.

Uma boa e mágica descoberta
Habituados a outros lados do Gerês, esta localidade e casa trouxeram-nos a paz e sossego que procurávamos e ainda se tornou uma das nossas preferidas em futuras estadias. A casa é simples(mente) mágica, cheia de conforto e pormenores pensados com o amor de quem sabe acolher. Petfriendly e Kids freindly too. O José foi um anfitrião fantástico, sempre disponível e preocupado com o nosso bem estar. Para quem gosta de pedalar pelo Minho, a zona é fantástica e a subida até Covide permite um bom aquecimento e cycling meditation :) Havemos de nos voltar a encontrar Casa-escola. Até breve :)
