Lovely family home in a peaceful setting
In a very non touristic area of the MInho in Northern Portugal, this villa is clean comfortable and well equiped.
It was almost like staying in someone's home whilst they were away for a couple of weeks.
The things we usually have to buy like washing up liquid and washing powder were already in the house and we just had to replace what we used.
A couple of points - firstly this is not a tourist area, so we had a great deal of fun and challenges making ourselves understood as English is not widely spoken (this to us is part of the charm of going to an area like this so is not a negative!!!) we even had to resort to a bit of O level French with someone who could speak this and Portuguese and acting out or drawing what we were trying to buy.
Secondly, it would have been a good idea to have told us the opening times of the local supermarket, particularly as we arrived on a Sunday and wanted to get some provisions like milk, bread, beer etc (we should have realised that this is not like England for shops open all hours). However, we did have a lovely meal out in the local town the first evening so again this is not a negative point just a note.
The outside space was well maintained and very private. The pool was a little chilly for me, but my husband and one of our friends did use it on an almost daily basis. We were also blessed with good weather apart from one cloudy day and torrential rain as we headed back to the airport after out fortnights stay.
The local area is very beautiful with many lovely towns and villages to visit especially enjoyed Melgacao and the Saturday markets in Vila Nova de Cerveira, we did not eat out a great deal preferring to barbeque ourselves, but when we did the food was very good and the Vinho Verde plentiful and both of these things were very good value for money.
Not somewhere for those seeking nightlife, but for a pleasant relaxing week or two in a very unspoilt area, it is an ideal place.

Early Autumn in Vila Nova de Cerveira
My three friends and I stayed in this delightful villa from 29th September to 6th
October this year.
It is a superb family villa set in a quiet area on the outskirts of Vila Nova de Cerveira. Elegant, well furnished and equipped it is an extremely comfortable house in which to spend an interesting holiday.
The surrounding countryside is green and attractive, the glorious River Minho is very near and the sea not much further away. Inland there are numerous interesting and historic towns to explore. Some have extensive Medieval quarters , Ancient Houses, Castles, Citadels etc. in which we were particularly interested. There are many good restaurants in the area , some at a very reasonable price but which were nevertheless, delicious.
We had hired a car so we were able to go further afield. As it is our second holiday in the region we already had some favourites places - Vila Nova itself and Ponte de Lima especially. But this time we also had enjoyable excursions over the bridge into the Galicia region of Spain.. There the picturesque port of Baiona provided good Spanish meals and intesting walks around the town, the coast and the Parador.
The weather was kind to us, sunny and with temperatures over 20 degrees C every day.So we spent most of our time outdoors, either on excursions or lying on the sunbeds around the pool in the garden.
Altogether it was an interesting and relaxing holiday. All the arrangements with Filipe Pereira and his family worked really smoothly and we would certainly go there again. I can recommend it highly.

Great villa
The villa was really great, mainly for families - it has all, what you need and the price is very fair ! We liked most the table-tennis, the pool (of course), the grill, w-lan (it was sometimes down...), the whirlpool. You can find each day new things in the villa. So we played in the evening: Make a photo - and all other has to find the picture in the house... I can tell you - it was very hard...

Lovely holiday in Portugal!
What a lovely holiday we have had! The villa was everything we had hoped for! so many places to visit close by and we had a swim (or 2!) in the pool every day. Really good value for money. Thank you. Hopefully we may be able to come again one day.

A week in a Portugal
Our first visit to Portugal and we were not disappointed. From our first dealings with Filipe everything went like clockwork. We were able to pay through Paypal which was very convenient as we do not have access to a fax machine. We had to ask for direction to pick up the key but a friendly shop owner took us straight there, where we met Margarida. She took us directly to the villa just a few minutes away.
The villa was gorgious, just as described. There were only 2 of us but it really would have made a wonderful base for a big family. We had a week of hot sunshine so the pool was a boon.
The area was very varied, lots of lovely towns and villages and of course being right on the border, very easy to pop over to Spain (we had a lovely day in Santiago). With marvellous beaches just half an hour away, it really was in a perfect position.
I would highly recommend this villa and we hope we will be able to return very soon. Thank you both

Spring holiday in a beautiful area.
This property was arranged so that my wife and I could come out from England and meet our son, wife and their three children who travelled down from Corunna. It suited our needs perfectly with the pool and pingpong table and lots of space in the house. As a home rather than a holiday let there was a lot of family items around which made it relaxed. however, by the same token there were things that didn't work, needed replacement or repair. Fortunately of no real consequence! Nevertheless, a happy and relaxed home.

Nice discovery of the Vinho Verde region !
The house is located in a very luxury area, near sea, lake and mountains. The village itself is quite cute.
Beside its very tradionnal furnitures and decoration, the house proposes a high technology HIFI equipment and you can comfortably listen your preferred music alongside the swimming pool.

Villa in Costa Verde
A beautifully equipped and maintained villa in a good, quiet location but close to shops and restaurants and the beautiful Minho River. A week was definitely not enough to see and do everything in the lovely Costa Verde and we hope to return for another visit some time.
