Paraíso em Vila Praia de Âncora
Foram 3 dias fantásticos entre amigos num espaço magnífico e com todas comodidades necessárias! Um verdadeiro paraíso onde se pode relaxar mas também praticar variadíssimas atividades com tudo o que é necessário. Encontrava-se tudo limpo e em bom estado e é também de realçar a proximidade à praia e ao rio.
Obrigado Sr.Manuel!

Numa palavra: paraíso
A casa é absolutamente fantástica a todos os níveis... Desde o conforto, ao espaço, natureza envolvente... Tudo pensado ao mais ínfimo detalhe. Piscina aquecida, jacuzzi, rede de voleibol, bicicletas, golfe, canoagem... Tem tudo! O rio que passa na propriedade é cristalino e em todo o lado há espreguiçadeiras e poltronas para aproveitar o sol e respirar o ar puro com vista para a serra. Simplesmente perfeito. Muito obrigada à Olga e ao Manuel por nos proporcionarem estes dias fantásticos!

Obrigado pelo feedback muito positivo.
Entretanto, acabámos de construir mais uma casa de banho, total 5, e acrescentamos um quarto, total 5+1, de modo a tornar a estadia de grupos grandes, mais confortável. Também gostamos muito de BTT!

Genial!!!
Hola, nuestra estancia fue maravillosa, la casa cumplió todas nuestras expectativas. Fuimos con niños y ellos disfrutaron muchísimo con las instalaciones. Su propietario, Manuel, es una persona encantadora. Por decir algo negativo , diría que eché de menos unas persianas en las habitaciones, pero en general todo muy bien y está muy bien equipada. Repetiremos.

Gracias por el comentario favorable y constructivo en nuestra propiedad.
Incluso en invierno, siempre hay días soleados para disfrutar de las bicicletas y canoas.
En cuanto a las cortinas, tenemos mediciones para todas las ventanas. Será apagones, por lo que las personas pueden dormir hasta tarde sin los rayos del sol a molestar!
Gracias por la idea de usted!

Mira Pool Beach House : un séjour inoubliable !!!
Nous avons passé un séjour entre amis fabuleux dans cette magnifique et luxueuse "Quinta". Elle est spacieuse, fonctionnelle, pratique, la piscine est de taille idéale, et je pourrais passer en revue toutes les commodités une par une, mais le mieux, c'est d'y aller. La vue sur la vallée du Minho depuis la terrasse de la piscine est à couper le souffle. Et les fruits du verger succulents... Sans oublier la gentillesse et l'accueil de Henrique.
Un rapport qualité prix incomparable.

Um chalet com tudo o que é necessário para passar, quer seja um mês ou um fim-de-semana, com a maior comodidade e conforto possíveis. Espaço amplo, bem decorado, em que a calma e tranquilidade estão presentes. O rio e a cascata “é a cereja em cima do bolo”. Recomendo vivamente. Esta é uma casa de repouso mas também de vitalidade. Cada janela, uma fotografia da paisagem, um confronto com a natureza. Há sempre aspectos a redescobrir em cada canto, há arquitetura de que se usufrui. Viana do Castelo; Caminha, Cerveira, Ponte de Lima são terras fantasticas com história, gastronomia, desportos nauticos e gente inesquecível.

Amazing
My family, including grandparents and our young children, stayed at this beautiful home in June 2010. We didn't see other reviews, so were not sure what to expect, though the photos seemed beautiful, and the size was right.
I started to get a very good feeling about our choice in interacting with the owner, o sr Manuel, who provided lots of tips on what to see and do locally, and even offered to have a neighbor stock the fridge with basics, since we were arriving late.
The house is amazing and far exceeds the photos on the site--a true country estate and river with lovely gardens, including a lac, a hidden away play structure, and outdoor tables and verandas for enjoying the sunshine and quiet.
The house itself is immaculate and tastefully furnished. We cooked for the whole family every night (after biking to the charming villages nearby for supplies) and ate at the cozy wooden dining nook, or in the large formal dining room. We enjoyed the quiet spaces to curl up with a book, such as the sunny study. We also used the clock house, which also has a living room and kitchenette, though we didn't need it.
The area is surrounded by large farms, pool river,many off-road bike routes, a castle a kilometer away with a nice restaurant and gardens, and routes to villages and the seaside. The house was so relaxing that we would have been happy simply spending more time enjoying its comforts and gardens. What an unusual way to see Portugal and to enjoy our family vacation!
In all, we were blown away by this rental and the hospitality of the owner and neighbors.

Um abraço,
Manuel
