"We had a very relaxing time, and enjoyed ourselves doing very little, sometimes just sitting out on the veranda watching the trees and the day go by. Ellen is a lovely host, and made us feel very welcome."

"Wonderful cozy house with a fully equipped kitchen. The food supplied on our arrival was unexpected and appreciated as we arrived later than expected. Quiet, friendly community right near the ocean with trails within walking distance of the home. "

"Wow what an amazing place. Wonderful hosts that made us feel so welcome and a really authentic beautiful home surrounded by a beautiful garden and views of the surrounding mountains. We were so happy to have found this place to stay! Our 3 and 5 year old also loved it."

"We loved Antonio’s beautiful little cabin. Very serene and we felt surrounded by tranquility. There was a miscommunication on our part about not knowing we needed a car, which we didn’t have. Antonio was excellent and sorted things out and so all was good. Thank you Antonio"

"Great place, highly recommend. Very friendly owners and really convenient area. "

"We stayed at Albertina's house for 8 days in the middle of a very hot spell in August. The house is beautiful and absolutely immaculately clean. The swimming pool is great and grounds are huge -you have total privacy and quiet for your stay. If you are looking for a place to chill and relax this is it! Most importantly for this stay there was amazing air conditioning in all bedrooms and the living room which meant we were very comfortable even on the day it reached 43 C outside! Albertina is...

"Everything was as advertised ,clean and functional. The host went out of her way to make sure that my experience was first class and it was. A big shout out to her neighbor who pitch hit for her When she hurt her leg. It’s very close to the train station maybe five minutes by car and it made the right into Douro very very easy."

"Emilia was very easy to communicate with and we enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely patio deck overlooking traditional homes and very quiet location. Fully equipped kitchen. 2 bedrooms. One upstairs queen sized bed connected to patio and the other off the small living room with a well ventilated ceiling sky light. Very cozy."

"This is the second time we stay at this beautiful place. Great location, comfortable rooms, good food, and most importantly amazing staff that always go the extra mile to make your stay a special one. Special thanks go to Mr. José Mendez who always makes sure that all guests are having a wonderful time. Furthermore, the swimming pool is very nice and heated, and we really enjoyed the mini-golf and the little steam next to it. "

"Lovely quiet holiday in the country, and still on the Algarve, not an English breakfast or fish and chips in sight, the accommodation is great and suited us well, plenty of room to site out on the patio's and enjoy the sunshine. It's a five mile drive to get to the shops so a car is a necessity, there is a little Portuguese cafe / bar just down the road that does nice coffee. Mary the owner who lives next door can not do enough for you. We had four weeks there and can not wait to go back. Thank...

"Super super hidden gem , amazing team , beautiful environment, great family fun place "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. A well equipped house and the fresh water pool was a delight. The views are lovely. Arie was a great host (don't forget to ask for directions). A great getaway location with easy access (30 mins by car) to Beaches, Porto, Amarante, River Duoro etc. There is much to do in the area: sight seeing, walking, riding bikes, train ride, swimming in the sea and rivers. Everyone we came across was very friendly. We'd love to come back!"

"Place is just as described. Very small but great location with view of the beautiful beach from our balcony and close to restaurants!! Great area for hiking. We had some trouble finding it and had to ask local resident. In your check in notes you could mention it’s above the ice cream shop and there’s a narrow access on the left across from Breeze cafe !"

"If you want a relaxing natural Life is the way to go"

"Our hosts, Maria Eugenia and Jose, were amazing! Kind, informative, generous, helpful, I can't say enough about them. We stayed for four days, two couples in the larger home. It was spacious, each couple with their own bathroom. We ate most of our meals at home. Our comadre caught a cold right upon arrival. She had a comfortable place to read, rest and recover, while we enjoyed the pool and had such a wonderful outing in the boat on the Douro river. This was definitely a once in a life time...

"A casa é mas tem o essencial. A piscina é partilhada e é ideal para crianças, não é muito extensa. Na quinta, tem os animais, galinhas, gansos, perús e a burra, que é um sucesso com as crianças. Os donos foram muitos atenciosos. Gostaria repetir a estadia."

"Had a really lovely time at the villa"

"This charming cottage is right on the beach, which you will pretty much have to yourself in the early morning and evenings/nights. It was also quiet all day on the Sunday we were there. The patio is stunning. There are fantastic restaurants so close you can see them from your patio. You are about at the half-way point on the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, an easy walk to Praia de Marinha (1/2 hour tops). We were always able to find free parking just above the cottage. It is a STEEP walk on stairs...

"Basic accommodation, wonderful all the same. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean and Pico Island. Walking trail along the ocean nearby. People are very friendly. "

"Very nice small house in a quiet country area. Well appointed. Extremely friendly and helpful staff."
