About this property

Stunning Hideaway with Pool to Die For, Near Spain

'Yavanna' is a large property made up of two beautifully refurbished 300-year-old traditional granite villas/farmhouses, each with its own private garden and barbecue area. They are called 'Casa Dolinda' and 'Casa Gabriel'. Each has 3 bedrooms, living room with flat screen TVs, wireless internet, a well-equipped modern kitchen but are individually styled and very different in layout.

There is a large 12x8m salt water pool with stunning views and chill-out zones - small farms are dotted around the lush green landscape, connected by granite tracks with grapevines growing overhead. There are 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens with plenty of space for relaxation.

Yavanna lies only a few miles from the border with Spain and is very close to beautiful ocean and river beaches in both Portugal and Spain.

This listing is for Casa Gabriel. Casa Gabriel sleeps 6 and is a traditional Minho farmhouse dating from 1730 and has been renovated to a very high standard. Each bedroom has an en-suite shower room. There are two double rooms and one twin room.

Casa Gabriel is very nicely furnished and equipped. It has its own kitchen, living room, outside eating area, barbecue, garden, etc. In addition, there is a very large garden and large pool, with plenty of room for everyone.

Towels and linen are provided, beds are changed weekly, and we take great pride in our standard of cleanliness. We do everything we can to make your holiday very special. We are available for help and advice, but at the same time very sensitive to your need for privacy.

Erholung pur
Schönes großes Ferienhaus mit großen Garten und tollem Pool in wunderschöner Umgebung. Die freundlichen Vermieter Sofia und Gustaf waren jederzeit ansprechbar, hielten sich aber gleichzeitig auf sehr angenehme Weise im Hintergrund. Im Haus fehlte uns an nichts, sogar Sonnenschirm und Windschutz für den Strand waren vorhanden. Die schönen Strände Nordportugals sind in ca. 40 Minuten Fahrtzeit zu erreichen. Wir können die Unterkunft voll und ganz für einen entspannten Urlaub in Familie oder Freundeskreis auch in Zeiten von Corona empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Un lugar muy tranquilo
Hemos estado ocho días y se nos han pasado volando. La casa, tanto por dentro como el jardín y la piscina, está muy bien; tiene de todo lo que necesitas y no le falta detalle. Las habitaciones son amplias, las camas muy cómodas y la ropa de cama es muy agradable. Gustaf, Sofía no estaba, nos atendió muy bien en todo momento y nos sentimos muy cómodos. Gracias por todo y hasta pronto.

Amazing relaxing retreat in a lux setting
This is a beautiful property with 3 renovated farmhouses nestled in the countryside in northern Portugal. It is ideal for families, groups, retreats, couples. There is a lot to do on the property-- gardens, large lawn, saltwater pool, volleyball/other games, or just relax in a private garden. We enjoyed picking fresh fruit and produce from the gardens to include with our meals. Books, internet access, and tv available. There is also plenty to do and see in nearby in Portugal and Spain and the coast. The hosts are very friendly and excellent at customer service, family friendly, multi-lingual. Very relaxing, charming without being stuffy, highly recommended.

Beyond comfort in the coastal hills of Portugal
Casa Gabriel went well beyond our expectations for a few relaxing days as we traveled through Asturias then Galicia in Spain and into Portugal. The house was thoroughly equipped and immaculately kept with three bedrooms each with their own private bathroom, full living room and separate kitchen/dining overlooking a private garden and grill. Shopping locally for meals to compliment the properties "garden of eden" was a highlight as were the helpful, friendly and fun hosts who were always ready to help pave the way for our adventures. We traveled with two young children and couldn't have dreamed for a better place to enjoy the food and people of the region. My highest compliments and recommendation to future travelers.
