Philippe and Nelly
Three apartments situated in the converted outlying farm buildings around a Solar (Portuguese Manor House) looking out onto its vineyard will provide you with everything you need. There is a large pool for you to relax in and outside areas available for barbecues or outside dining. You can enjoy a stroll in the vineyard and learn all about the well-known Vinho Verde. A small chapel will welcome you for prayers and meditation. The geographic situation here is perfect to do one-day-trips to Porto, Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, Viseu, Arouca, Peso da Rega,Pinhão and more. The famous Passadiços de Paiva are 20 mn away and plenty of good restaurants are available around here.
We are a couple of retired French people who love living here in Portugal and who have enjoyed restoring this old house which will be yours for a short stay. Welcoming guests is a big, new challenge for us as it is far removed from what we did in a previous life.... we will do our best to make your stay enjoyable, quiet and relaxing and to provide you with everything you need. RESERVATIONS have to be made for at less 2 or 3 days depending the apartment choice, anytime in the week.
We are close to the Duoro valley and 45 minutes away from Porto. Places of interest like Braga, Guimares, Aveiro, Vila Real, Nazaré, Arouca and Viseu are all suitable for one day trips.You can enjoy a boat trip to the Douro Upper valley (Porto Vineyards) and hikers can join the world famous Passidiços do Paiva. There is great fishing on the Paiva river which is full of fish and surrounded by beautiful landscapes.The area is surrounded by gently hills which are ideal for cycling or jogging. Shopping can be done at Castelo de Paiva which is 3.5 kms away. There is a good selection of restaurants which we can advise you on.
