AltaVista

Wir hatten eine super Zeit in dem wunderschönen Haus. Es ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, der Blick ist traumhaft und es wurde an wirklich vieles gedacht, sowohl bei der Ausstattung des Hauses, als auch im Garten. Der Kontakt mit Gastgeber und Gastgeberin war sehr sympathisch und zügig. Sie waren sehr zuvorkommend und umsichtig. Am ersten Abend haben wir Abendessen dazu gebucht, das hat sich total gelohnt, denn es gab tolle authentisch portugiesische Küche. Auch das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich. Das Haus liegt abgelegen, ein Auto und gute Fahrkompetenzen wären da schon wichtig. In der Umgebung gibt es auch viele Tiere die man nachts ab und zu hört (Schafe und Hühner). Das sind aber keine negativen Punkte sondern gehört einfach dazu wenn man ländlich Urlaub machen möchte :)

The breakfast baskets were very generous, the swimming pool was excellent, the owners/hosts were extremely welcoming and were always available to help whenever was needed. The house had amazing views too.

Some minor details: a few lights weren't working, the kitchen was a bit smaller than I expected and the location is lovely but I would say a car is essential to get to the nearest grocery shop or other amenities.

Alojamento incrível numa localização também incrível. Tudo extremamente sossegado e silencioso, no meio da Natureza. Adorámos a casa, a vista, o jardim e a piscina. Os donos da casa foram impecáveis e estiveram sempre disponíveis. Deixaram-nos alimentos para o pequeno-almoço, produtos da horta e até ovos caseiros! Também foram muito solícitos e deixaram-nos permanecer na casa até mais tarde, no dia do check-out, pelo que conseguimos aproveitar tudo um pouco mais! Todos adoraram, sem excepção, e querem voltar!

Adorámos tudo. Contudo, como pontos de melhoria, destacamos o seguinte: melhor sistema de filtragem na piscina. Por estar no meio da Natureza facilmente fica cheia de folhas e atrai todo o tipo de bichos, mesmo a limpeza manual que fazíamos não era suficiente. O quarto no anexo, na parte de cima, fica extremamente quente, sufocante até. Faz falta, pelo menos, uma ventoinha. Deixo, também, a nota, para quem interessar, que a casa não é muito acessível para pessoas com pouca mobilidade, uma vez que tem bastantes escadas e declives.

Incredible house high up in the mountains. Stunning views, extremely comfortable beds, gorgeous gardens and quirky pink pool. The house was very large with spacious rooms and perfect for my family with teens. I loved the style of the interiors as well - very eclectic and more like a home than a vacation house. The extremely friendly owner came round and dropped off breakfast, some lovely jams, milk, bread, eggs, biscuits, port, a local delicacy for pudding one evening and fruit. We easily visited Braga, Ponte de Lima and Viana Do Castello during our stay and it was only an hour's drive away from Porto airport. Local, very well stocked shops are about five minutes away. Tip - don't hire a huge car... but hire one with a decent sized engine as the roads to the house are narrow and steep. We had the perfect stay.

We had an amazing stay! We happened to come at a bit of a rainy time, but the property was so lovely it didn't matter. The views were beautiful and we made use of the fireplace during the evenings when it was chilly. The host could not have been better - very responsive and accommodating. He delivered a delicious breakfast on our first morning, and responded very quickly to any questions we had. It was an easy drive to Viana do Castelo and Ponte de Lima, and there is a little market close by for groceries. We would definitely stay here again!

There wasn't much that could be improved on - next time we would come in the summer so we could take advantage of the beautiful pool!

Alta Vista is fully equiped. The house is beautiful decorated and the garden is wonderful. The whole place is obviously loved by the owners. The owners are very nice and open people. They spoiled us with homegrown veggies, fruits and eggs and what not. It was a pleasure to meet both mother and son.

Nothing, we never stayed in such a beautiful and well maintained hollidayhome.
