Quinta da Malhada

Higly reccomend. The place is tranquil. View form terrace is anbsolutely stunning (think photos don't reflect the view) with gentle sound of flowing water and crickets. Garden is full of hidden places to relaks. Place is super clean and functional, thought out down to the smallest details (eg. mosquito nets, shower, places to sit and relaks, beutiful garden). Kitchenette was the best we had so far- wide variety and good quality. Plus hosts are nice and helpful. It is 20-30 min to passadicos do paiva and arouca bridge.

Not recommended to drive there after sunset - the access road is sometimes narrow and steep.

We loved every minute of our stay in this exceptional self catering accommodation. The interior is beautiful and spotlessly clean: the open plan living spaces are fitted throughout with quality furniture, electrical, linen and towels and all items needed for self-catering. The shower room is stunning. The panoramic views were spectacular and far reaching. There is a delightful outside space for dining and enjoying the views. On site parking is available. We met the owners who were so charming and very helpful. We chose this location whilst touring the region due to its close proximity to the Arouca Suspension Bridge - about a 30 minute drive away.

There was nothing to not like! An under-the-sink brush and dustbin might have been useful.

Super friendly host and fantastic views of the countryside?
