About this property

House of the three boys

Welcome to Casa Dos Três Rapazes ! Enjoy the whole cottage which is located in the superb vinho verde (green wine) region of northern Portugal, the cradle of Portuguese history and gastronomy, only 24 km from Porto airport.
The cottage has 5 comfortable rooms for 10 people, with private bathrooms, an outdoor swimming pool, a billiard room, a ping pong table, bicycles and a fireplace. The house is surrounded by a superb flower garden where you can relax and enjoy nature.
Our Cottage is 25 km from Porto, where you can enjoy a walk in the historical center of Porto and the Porto wines in Gaia (I am happy to send you a list of interesting sites/activities and restaurants in Porto if you are interested). Near the house, there are many hiking trails, cycle paths, and an equestrian center. Nearby, you can also visit the archaeological site of the citânia de Sanfins (4km) and the castro of Monte Padrão (3km), then relax at the thermal baths of Vizela (15km).
You will find several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets in Cabanas. Lovers of traditional gastronomy can enjoy the Tasquinha A Lanterna and the Cozinha da Avó, which offer delicious traditional dishes in a family atmosphere.
