Idyllic escape off tourist trail
We arrived late at night due to flight delays which made for an interesting journey as this is rural - BUT the directions are excellent from the property link on VRBO. Even solid you can arrive in the day it would likely be better. Only when we awoke could we appreciate how wonderful the cottage and gardens are. The views are absolutely beautiful. To float about in the pool while listening to the birds and looking down the river will certainly fasttrack relaxation. A couple of minutes walk down the river you’ll find the paddle boards and kayaks and in just a few minutes you’re out on the water which was an easy area to paddle about or explore a little further afield. We are a family and our teens are 13 and 15.We had a couple of little issues but they were responded to in minutes. We called because of a problem with the gate and before we knew it, it was repaired. There were many excursions we could have done but we spent half of our time enjoying the site itself for a much needed break and in the evening playing cards and chatting. And of course making use of the pool, kayaks and SUPs. The excursions we chose were going inland to Piñhao for a scenic drive, a day trip to Porto (a must), a day at the Amarante water park and a trip to FC Porto.The cottage is one of the best equipped I’ve ever used: we had a bottle of Port and local cakes plus a big bottle of water waiting for us on arrival plus lots of essentials which reduced our shopping list. Overall wonderful
