About this cottage rental

Beautiful house situated in a small village in the mountains of northern Portugal, which uses traditional agriculture as main activity.
Orbacém is a rural paradise, 6 km from the sea, which allows easy access to sleepy fishing villages and coastal markets Ancora and Moledo.

Casa do Pinhal was decorated and furnished in traditional style to create a warm and comfortable environment.

The ground floor has a living / dining room with two double doors opening onto a terrace for outdoor dining. There are tables and comfortable outdoor chairs to accommodate up to eight people.

Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, electric stove and oven, etc. A door leads out to the garden.

There is a short flight of stairs to the dining room / living room that leads to the first floor where are three bedrooms. Two with two single beds each and one married.

One bedroom has a private bathroom and doors leading to a balcony with a spectacular view of the valley.

There is a full bathroom and bath to be shared by the other two rooms.

garden

Outside there is a garden around the house and a covered barbecue area. The pool is 10, 00 meters by 5.00 meters and the depth is 0.90 to 1.75 meters in the deep end. The surrounding garden of the house has about 2500 m2 of area and is divided into several areas and levels. This provision creates different environments and crannies, ideal for sunbathing or rest. There is still an area of about 800 m2 orchard (orange, fig, quince, etc.) that allow you to be more in touch with nature and rural area.

The house is about 12 kms from the small fishing village of Ancora, where there are shops, bars, beaches and restaurants. Both north (+ 10 kms) to the south, the entire coastline is made up of beautiful beaches.

Location

About 14 kilometers away is the old town of Viana do Castelo. A similar distance to the north is the small town of Caminha where you can find nightlife and bars.
The Golf is available in Ponte de Lima about 25 kms away.

The city of Porto is 45 minutes away (65 kms)

Great House and Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The selling point for us was the garden and pool. The garden is very big and it is very well maintained. The house is situated very quiet. No noisy neighbours around. The inside of the house can do with a little bit more attention here and there. The sofa was quite low I struggled to stand up all the times. Unfortunately the washing machine broke down during our stay. The owner offered us that the housekeeper took our laundry to the local laundry service. Which we appriciated very much. Afifi beach is a very beautiful beach to visit. Aldi and Continente Bom Dia is about 10 km away in Vila Ancora de Praia. We visited a lot of towns like Braga, Ponte de Lima, Vila Ancora de Praia.

Peaceful and relaxing break

Peaceful and relaxing break

Lovely setting in the hills, and well located for visiting other parts or north Portugal and Galicia. Villa was well laid out, kitchen could be better equipped but we coped! Was warm during the stay but you can relax around the pool and do some nice walks! Ideal property in my view, would love to live there!

Bonita casa de campo en el norte de Portugal

Bonita casa de campo situada en zona rural de Portugal a 15 m de las playas de Ancora y Caminha. Un jardín para disfrutar y relajarte. Entorno rodeado de bosque. Valoramos mucho la ausencia de ruido de tráfico. El propietario Rodrigo nos atendío en todo momento y nos orientó sobre las actividades a realizar por la zona. Para repetir

A casa está localizada num sítio maravilhoso onde a vista é soberba. O espaço exterior é perfeito com uma piscina muito bonita, de dimensões generosas e enquadrada por um vasto jardim. Diria que em relação a este aspeto seria dificil ser melhor. A casa é confortável com uma decoração tradicional de muito bom gosto. A cozinha poderia estar mais bem apetrechada mas tem o necessário. No nosso caso faltou uma máquina para tostas. Os baloiços referidos não estavam disponíveis. Na envolvente não há comércio. Para ir ao supermercado optámos por ir a VP Âncora, a 10 km. Em termos gerais, recomendo, sem dúvida, esta casa. O espaço exterior é de sonho! Os jantares lá fora a ver o pôr-do-sol vão deixar muitas saudades. Espero poder voltar para o ano com as crianças que aqui foram muito felizes!

Hemos pasado unos días muy agradables, sobre todo por el exterior de la vivienda, con jardín cuidado y amplio y una zona de piscina perfecta. La zona es bastante tranquila, y a 20 minutos en coche se llega al pueblo de Vila Praia de Áncora, que cuenta con buenas playas. El propietario, Rodrigo, muy atento en todo momento.

Todo perfecto! La casa es una maravilla, situada en una zona increíble. Muy tranquila y con todas las comodidades. Con niños pequeños, la piscina separada de la casa ha sido la mejor opción, muy recomendable. Tanto el recibimiento recibido como el contacto con Rodrigo han sido impecables.

A gem of a house nestled in the hills, 10 minutes from the beach

A gem of a house nestled in the hills, 10 minutes from the beach

The house is solid stone and stays cool in the heat. It's tastefully decorated with classic dark wood and terracotta floors. The bedrooms are all comfortably large, the bathrooms are clean and function well with adequate hot water for a family. There is covered parking for two cars; a real benefit in the heat. The pool is properly maintained without using too much chlorine. There is a beautiful church only five minutes or so by foot. The gardens have green lawns and offer enough space for guests to find their own little corner to snooze away the afternoon. We stayed with a two year old and other than normal supervision, there was no need for special attention; the pool is entirely shut-off with a gate, and there is a swingset, a wendy-house, and a model ride-on tractor. The weather in this region is cooler than I expected, which makes sleeping comfortable. There is often an ocean mist in the morning, which burns away by lunchtime. The beaches are incredible, even on the weekend you can find your own patch of sand. There are acceptable restaurants, good snacks and beach shops along the front in VP Ancora. The local towns are worth a visit, with historical sites and a nice market in Viana do Castelo. The only thing that could have made this stay better would have been a more modern washing machine for clothes, but we managed OK nonetheless. Really, an exceptional week, with a warm personal welcome from the owner. It can be a little tricky to find, even with GPS. The best way is to use the church ('Igreja') as a landmark.

Schöner Urlaub im Norden Portugals

Schöner Urlaub im Norden Portugals

Wir haben im Juli 2,5 Wochen in diesem schönen Ferienhaus mit einem wundervollen und sehr großen Garten verbracht. Der Garten ist in verschiedene Ebenen unterteilt und bietet sehr viele schattige Plätzchen. Es sind ausreichend Liegen und Sitzgelegenheiten vorhanden. Auch für Ballspiele war ausreichend Platz. Der Pool ist sehr schön groß. Auf der Terrasse, mit herrlichem Blick ins Tal, gibt es einen Tisch für 6 Personen. Das Haus liegt auf einem Hügel, abseits größerer Straßen. Also sehr ruhig. Das Haus liegt ca. 15 Fahrminuten von Ancora entfernt. Dort findet man auch den nächsten größeren Supermarkt und natürlich den Strand. In Ancora gibt es verschiedene Restaurants. Als Basis für verschiedene Ausflüge ist das Haus sehr gut geeignet. Bis nach Porto sind es ca. 80 km, bis nach Santiago de Compostela ca. 150 km (Achtung: Beim Grenzübertritt nach Spanien Zeitumstellung beachten.)

Beautiful villa in quiet rural location

Beautiful villa in quiet rural location

This is a beautiful villa set in some lovely gardens. The sea is just visible from the balcony when the weather is fine. The property is clean, well furnished and comfortable. The owner showed us around the property on arrival and left a small welcome pack which was an unexpected surprise. The pool was excellent and would be particularly good for families with children as is was quite shallow at one end. There are minimal amenities locally in the village, but it was in a beautiful peaceful setting and a joy to wander about. Supermarket and beaches are only 15 mins drive away. We enjoyed the local Ancora river and in the end wished we had had the time to explore more if its beautiful pools and cascades. The Quinta d'Arga restaurant in Dem, also about 15 mins drive, was excellent for a blow out steak washed down with frothy Vinho Verde.
