Amazing setting and views over the village. Kids loved the swimming, golf, piano, pool and tennis, especially when lit up at night.

Great base for a nice holiday in the Porto region. The village was small but had a lovely tapas bar and a great bakery. It was only around 10€ for an Uber to Porto. The villa had plenty to keep everyone occupied but could have done with a few more chairs or sunbeds by the pool. It did need a little bit of maintaining and updating in places but nothing that spoilt our stay. It was spacious enough that even though there were 2 families staying there everyone had their own space and it never felt cramped.

This was our second visit to this property. It perfectly met our needs for a low-key place to chill out with our daughter and 2 grandchildren ( 7 & 8 ). It is a very quiet location. The house and grounds are very spacious. The kids enjoyed playing in the orchard and on the tennis court. The real highlight is the large outdoor pool - which the kids really enjoyed. We will probably book for next year.

This really is a beautiiful villa.....so spacious, lots to do and very well equipped. We enjoyed the tennis court, pool, billiards and gorgeous setting. Comfortable beds! Mario was great as a host, could not have asked for more - very responsive, flexible, caring and just at the end of what'sapp on the couple of times needed. We hired a car to give us some extra flexibility which worked for us but it is really easy and cheap to pick up ubers locally and from Porto back to the villa. As said in previous reviews, supermarkets are just a short drive/taxi away. Local shops weren't always open so we just relied on the Lidl. It's not a buzzing local village but the people were always really friendly. Eating out can be so cheap so we tended to have a brunch and then head off for the day but also had a couple of lovely days just appreciating the villa and then heading out for dinner. Air-con is just in the loft room but this was absolutely fine - we never felt too hot in the house. It is a bit dark in the house but most of the time we were outdoors anyway so it didn't bother us. Plenty of outdoor dining space, balconies and green space to chill. Honestly, can't recommend it highly enough, we feel very honoured to have stayed in such a valued family home and hope that we will be able to go back one day. Thank you Mario!

It is a big spacious home with a great pool and lots of outside space. It was ideal for our family of 4 adults and 2 young children. It is in a small, quiet village with just a few small shops. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday

We enjoyed our stay very much. Huge House - very Nice pool, garden and tennis court. Not modern but Nice and clean. Close to Porto .

Lovely villa with fantastic activities within the grounds. Having a tennis court and pool all to ourselves was simply amazing. There aren’t many shops, restaurants or bars in the neighbourhood, but a supermarket is a ten minute drive away and the city is less than half an hour’s journey. Uber is freely available and Mario, our host, was also very helpful in arranging taxis to and from the airport. Ideal for a peaceful family holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa. The pool and tennis court were a lot of fun, the garden is delightful, the balconies provide lovely seating areas throughout the day and the villa inside offers everything one needs for a comfortable stay. There is wifi and a smart tv with popular streaming apps. Transport: we did not hire a car and relied on taxis instead. Taxi to and from the airport is €40. Ubers to and from Porto cost us between €15-20 each way. It's easy to get an Uber from Porto to the villa even at night (helps to save the exact villa location on your Uber app). From the villa it could take up to 30-40 minutes to get an Uber but the local taxi company was always available within 10 minutes. Groceries: the town has a few small grocery stores that are generally open in the mornings until mid-day and easily reached by foot. Fresh bread, drinks and basic fruit and veg are easily available. We could not find any fresh meat in the town (the small grocery shops had some frozen items) so as for bigger shops, a Lidl and Intermarche are a 10 minute drive away. We also ended up doing smaller grocery shops in Porto for items not locally available before heading back to the villa. The people in the town were all very friendly. The closest restaurant is Tasca da Tita a few hundred meters down the road serving nicely prepared local dishes and very decently priced. Padaria S. Roque is a bakery a 10 minute walk away and also prepares great pizza if one orders in advance. To note, we went in the second half of August and there was a 4 day festival in the town that played music throughout the day and late into the night that could be heard at the villa. It did not bother us but if someone is looking for a really quiet stay it's worth checking if there is going to be a local festival on. We were in touch with Mario via Whatsapp so the small issues and queries we had were quickly addressed.
