Ganz tolle Unterkunft in einer genialen Umgebung! Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Der Pool ist unglaublich. Er ist riesig, ideal zum Schwimmen und Spaß haben. Die Wohnung ist auch riesig und hat drei Badezimmer. Alles topp. Auch die Außenanlagen sind topp. Der Ort selbst ist wunderbar. Die Einheimischen super hilfsbereit, nett und noch überhaupt nicht durch Tourismus betroffen. Man kann so richtig eintauchen in diese Gemeinschaft.

Superbe endroit et hôtes très accueillants

Casa Brandao est un lieu magnifique les extérieurs sont très beaux la piscine superbe et l’emplacement est idéal pour visiter le nord du Portugal. L’appartement est très très spacieux et très bien équipé. Les hôtes Mita et Antonio sont adorables et plein d’attentions. Il y a 2 appartements à louer dans la maison alors beaucoup de place dans la très belle piscine. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille, gâtés et dans un havre de paix ! Nous y retournerons sans faute !

Férias relaxantes

Desde já queria agradecer a simpatia e a boa hospitalidade que D.Arminda e Sr.António nos ofereceram. Passamos 5 dias magnificos. Sentimo-nos como se estivéssemos em casa. Ótimas condições, dentro e fora de casa com 3 simpáticos cães " Joli, Picasso e a Branquinha" mas de realçar uma piscina fantástica. Aconselhamos vivamente para quem quer descansar e desfrutar de um pouco de sossego.

Estivemos duas semanas na casa Brandão, passou muito pouco tempo, mas já estaríamos prontos para regressar, para um espaço maravilhoso, cuidado e onde a tranquilidade nos envolve. A simpatia e a disponibilidade da Sra. Arminda e do Sr. António estiveram sempre presentes. Foram umas férias repousantes e maravilhosas, ficam as saudades e uma enorme vontade de voltar.

Estadia em familia

Foi uma estadia em família maravilhosa! O espaço em si é simplesmente perfeito para umas férias tranquilas e confortáveis. O jardim e a piscina são uma delícia! Principalmente para as crianças que para além da piscina (maravilhosa) têm por onde correr e o que explorar ☺ Grata e os meus parabéns pelo carinho com que nos receberam e tratam deste espaço maravilhoso. Iremos regressar certamente ☺

Fabuloso

Adorei a casa Brandão, A Dona Arminda e o Senhor António são pessoas fantásticas, super amáveis e discretas, quase nem nos apercebemos que estavam em casa. Prontificaram-se a tudo o que pedimos e ofereceram-nos um doce de frutos vermelhos delicioso. Passamos 3 dias de puro lazer e descanso na companhia de uma incrível paisagem e piscina que quase merece o titulo de olímpica e esta esteve sempre a uma temperatura super agradável de 24 graus. A casa Brandão tem 3 Caezinhos que são uns verdadeiros amores de tanta pureza e meiguice, muito dóceis e respeitadores. São o Joli a Branquinha e o Picasso :-) A única coisa que penso que poderiam melhorar na minha opinião para ficar uma casa perfeita é sem duvida a mobília antiquada que se encontra na casa, pois causam um pouco de cheiro a mofo e mais desconforto, na altura de usufruir dos sofás e dos quartos, contudo estava tudo muito assisado e super limpo, também passamos maior parte do tempo cá fora a desfrutar de toda a paisagem envolvente que é lindíssima. Muito Obrigada por esta experiência, e vamos certamente recomendar.
