Vila das Aves : locations de villas de vacances

Lovely property which was quiet and secluded. Facilities and aircon excellent also. If I have any criticism there could have been better communication re fixtures and appliances, bins, recycling, etc. The instruction to access the keys was excellent though not all of us are familiar with electronic gates! The water pressure is not great for showering despite taking it in turns and the toaster tripped the fuse to the whole kitchen on arrival which was interesting trying to find the fuse board to put it right though Rodrigo did respond to our call quickly. On balance a lovely place and would consider visiting again.

Estava tudo ótimo e bastante útil

A group of 6 had a wonderful 2 night stay, the photo's and description of the property and its surrounds are very accurate. Communication prior & during was excellent & restaurant recommendations were very helpful. The attention to detail & history of the property takes you back in time & makes for a memorable stay. Thank you Marta & Daniel for sharing your beautiful farmhouse 10/10 we would definitely recommend.

Had a great time in Marie’s place. She welcomed us really well sharing local places we could go to to shop or eat, and recommendation for Porto. Very easy to check in and flexible which was great. The house is very big with all amenities, and a very nice area by the swimming pool. Thanks again !

Manu est une hôtesse très accueillante, avec plein de bons conseils sur les visites (caves sur le Douro....) et les lieux incontournables. A recommander sans hésitation. Le logement proposé est conforme à la description et dispose de beaucoup d'espace (très bien équipé et très propre)

We had a lovely weeks stay at Casa da Horta. The pool and views from the pool area were amazing and the children enjoyed playing on the trampoline and exploring the grounds. The apartment itself was really well furnished and clean and we all loved the large shower. The position of the apartment at the top of the site meant it wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with mobility issues (as per Vania’s description) but for us it just meant that we walked off some the pastel de natas and we appreciated the particularly good views from our patio area. Guimaraes was only 12 mins drive away with its pretty historic town and Porto was an hour and ten minutes on the train (with one train every hour) and cost us around 22 euros return for the whole family. We also went on the cable cars at Guimaraes and the Funicular at Braga, both of which our children really enjoyed. We had a lovely holiday and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the apartments to anyone considering a holiday in the area.

We had a wonderful time in Portugal, and Antonio's place was a perfect base for our day trips. The house was lovely with lots of space and beautiful decor. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. The gardens had lots to explore, and fruit trees and a vegetable patch. Our children loved the house and we all had lots to do, including a playroom with loads of toys, dozens of boardgames, and just really nice spots to sit and read. Antonio was super friendly, very easily contactable, very quick to respond, and gave us lots of nice suggestions. We've had an amazing time at his amazing family home!

super maison. le quartier est très agréable. Viana est une super ville. la maison est très bien pensée et très agréable à vivre en famille.

Casa muito bem decorada (tivemos até o cuidado de guardar alguns apetrechos com receio de algum acidente). Simpatia da senhora que nos recebeu. Casa luxuosa e maravilhosa. A única crítica construtiva que deixo, será que pensem numa piscina exterior de maior dimensão, a casa merece !

Paulos place is even better in real life, the pictures do not do it justice. The view is insane. Extremely friendly and responsive.

Habitation impeccable, bon emplacement, 3min du tram et 30min a pied du centre de Porto, arrivée facile. Jardinet agréable pour prendre les petits déjeuner et apéro. Logements parfait pour un grand groupe. Literie confortable.

To everyone who’s thinking of renting this house; if you’re having doubts, this is the sign to go for it. I’m speaking on behalf of my family and myself. We were a group of 8 who had the lovely opportunity to spend New Year’s Eve in this beautiful space. To start with, pictures don’t do justice to the gem you find when you pass through the entrance door. The house seems like it blends or comes out of the mountain itself. Maintaining original external features of what it seemed an old house that was carefully blended into the newer structure of the main house. When you enter you have the feeling of being at home and from any of the panoramic windows to the west side of the house you get the breathtaking views of the Douro river They’ve thought of all details and making it a perfectly functional house to not have to leave for as long as you plan to stay there. Having the breakfast service is also another extra service we were really happy to have thank you for the lovely experience.

Fantastic accommodation. Beautiful gardens, pool and house. Marcus is a very good host, and looked after us so well - bringing us little gifts like fresh orange juice just made the experience so much better. One of our children really wanted to keep a huge lemon he’d found in the garden but we told him he would have to ask. Instead of just saying no, or yes, Marcus said “sure, but why don’t we make some lemonade together!”. Just so thoughtful and kind. The house is very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Lots of attention to detail. Pool is very large and everything is perfectly clean. Marcus and Rick really did go out of their way to ensure our stay was successful without ever being intrusive, so please don’t hesitate to book!

What an EXTRAORDINARY accommodation Casa Marmelo was for our group of 8 adults when visiting the Douro valley !!! Host Kate was super to work -- right from our initial contact for information through our date of departure. What an excellent WELCOME GUIDE she provided before our arrival - with valuable tips and suggestions for activities and dining throughout the area. Housekeeper Helene too could not have been more kind, charming, and helpful. What delicious breakfasts she made for us each morning. The entire property was kept so clean and tidy. What a memorable time we all had -- we all hope to be back!

Marisa’s property was absolutely perfect for our family (10 adults). The individual apartments were lovely, clean and comfortable and gave everyone their own personal space while also providing a common space for us to gather. We were greeted promptly on our arrival with a tour and clear instructions. (And a nice welcome basket of goodies!) The location was also great, giving us access to restaurants and attractions. Very walkable to most places. Highly recommend this property!

Absolutely beautiful venue!! There are no words. Communication beforehand was fab. Antonio was really helpful and booked us a sunrise yoga session for the day we left. He was responsive to questions & made sure everything was organised for us so that we could have the best time! Maria did the most amazing breakfast for us everyday. She even made sure I had a special gluten free basket of goodies! The venue was clean & had everything we needed. It wasn’t the greatest weather but Maria came in & put the log fire on for us, which was sooo cosy! Wish we could have stayed longer but had to get back for work. Thank you so much for making my friend’s celebratory weekend the BEST!!

A casa é super espaçosa e bem cuidada, óptima para grupos grandes. O jardim e a area da piscina são areas super agradáveis. A anfitriã foi muito prestável e sempre disponível quando necessário. A casa tem tudo o que precisamos, o ambiente é tranquilo e adoramos que a casa esteja tão bem equipada com matrecos, mesa de ping pong, zona de churrasco e até boias para a piscina. Recomendo a estadia!

A beautiful house with peaceful surroundings. The family enjoyed the swimming pool, the table tennis and the walk to the river. There is everything in the house that is needed for a relaxing holiday. The kayak trip (organised by Ana) from the house to the town is really fun and worth doing. The guide is excellent and we learnt a lot about the history of the area. We visited Bom Jesus do Monte at Brage, about 35 minutes drive and Pena Adventure, just over an hours drive away. They have a zip wire from the top of the mountain and an alpine coaster, plus lots of other activities for adults and children. Some need booking early. We had a fun holiday and would recommend the house and the area. Thank you Ralf and Ana

A wonderful property. The pool was amazing. We had everything we needed. Luis was great in answering questions we had. He looked after the pool maintenance while we were there. Would love to come back again.

La casa es preciosa y el exterior es increíble. A nuestra llegada nos recibió Marco, muy amablemente nos dio indicaciones para disfrutar de la zona que fueron de gran ayuda. Durante nuestra estancia necesitamos contactar con él y su respuesta fue rápida y eficiente. La casa está decorada de forma tradicional y se agradecen enormemente los detalles: botella de champán, toallas de piscina y una bolsita con productos de aseo. La casa tenía todo lo que necesitamos. A pocos metros, cruzando el puente, hay un bar agradable con una gran terraza en el que se puede picar algo. Un poco más adelante hay un pequeño bar junto a una tienda que tiene lo básico. Aunque en la piscina de la casa se está genial tomando el sol y la fresca en las tumbonas, es obligado ir al río, a la piscina natural (sólo apto para valientes). Los alrededores rebosan historia y naturaleza así que encuentras muchas actividades para disfrutar de las vacaciones. Sin duda, nos encartaría volver a “Casa da Benda”.

Notre séjour s'est très bien passé, Joao est très réactif et très sympathique, il a su répondre à toutes nos demandes. Les maisons sont impeccables et très bien agencées, l'espace extérieur est incroyable, tellement agréable 🌸🌳 La piscine chauffée est un vrai plus qui vient compléter cette pépite ✨ Nous reviendrons !

Alojamiento para disfrutarlo a tope, cada rincón muy cuidado y con muchos detalles agradables. Situado a las afueras de Amarante, en una zona muy tranquila. Zona de barbacoa y piscina inmejorables, ideal para pasar unos días en familia. La casa no es muy grande, pero está bien aprovechada y no le falta de nada. Por otro lado, la atención de Paulo es digna de elogio, preocupándose en cada momento de nuestro bienestar, y contando con la ayuda de unos maravillosos vecinos que nos hicieron la estancia muy amena y agradable. Sin duda la calidad/precio es más que recomendable, repetiriamos con los ojos cerrados ahora que conocemos a Paulo y su entorno. Y otra cosa, vaya descubrimiento el Vino Verde de la zona, ¡qué rico! 🤤😃 Muchas gracias por todo, volveremos.

Uma casa acolhedora com uma paz do outro mundo! O sr. Manuel é muito atencioso, adorámos tudo!

très belles prestations , bon accueil de Joào , vila de standing , piscine superbe petit bémol sur la literie pour deux lits qui mériteraient d être renouvelés. pour un séjour en famille nous avons adoré .
