La maison est typique portugaise très chouette avec une jolie piscine . Seul problème c'est que les propriétaires habitent juste a côté, nous avons passé nos vacances accompagné des propriétaires avec plusieurs réflexions si j'avais su je n'aurais pas loué cette maison.
Amarante is a very nice town and the area has lots on the doorstep, riverside walks, river, greenway, bike hire available in town and lots of day trips to adjacent areas. Accomodation good and lovely pool
La experiencia a sido muy buena, los anfitriones geniales mejor imposible, siempre ayudando en todo lo que podían , super amables y hospitalarios. El lugar precioso y super tranquilo y la piscina mejor imposible.
La verdad que si podemos repetiremos, sin lugar a duda lo recomiendo.
Dar las gracias a Harry y a su mujer por ser los mejores anfitriones, sois unos excelentes propietarios , seguid así.
De parte de los cuatro muchas gracias por todo.
Un saludo.
En 2023, on peut encore trouver des hôtes incroyables avec une histoire atypique qui proposent un lieu fabuleux : la Casa Da Ponte.
Un domaine rénové avec goût qui offre tout ce que l'on souhaite pour être hors du temps et du monde, quelques jours.
Le vieux Amarante est superbe avec sa confeitaria de 1930, ses nombreux bars au cachet insoupçonnable.
Absolument recommandé.

Maison agréable, entourée de verdure. Terrasse avec piscine très agréable, pour passer de bons moments avec les enfants mais aussi se reposer tranquillement. Hôte accueillant et discret
Un lieu authentique, insolite qui était parfait pour nous.
Verdure, relief et point de vue, nous sommes satisfaits.
Heureux d’avoir rencontré de belles personnes propriétaires de ce joli lieu.
Unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Perfekte Gestgeber im einem schönen Ferienhaus in verwunschne Lage im Flusstal

A picture postcard cottage set in beautiful surroundings.
Perfectly positioned to explore the local amenities and countryside, with plenty of restaurants and cafes a short drive away.A very good place to base an outdoors themed holiday or short break for an authentic feel of the real Portugal ! The hosts Tina and Harry are always very helpful with tips, help and local knowledge to make your stay an enjoyable experience. And if that isn't enough they can source you some really good red or white wines , what more could you want ?

Uma experiência fantástica!
Somos um pequeno grupo de amigos de 4 pessoas e estivemos na propriedade do Harry e da Tina na última semana de Agosto e foi uma experiência fantástica, além dos anfitriões serem umas pessoas 5 estrelas e extremamente simpáticas, foram sempre muito prestáveis e atentos a qualquer falta que pudéssemos sentir, a casa onde ficámos e mesmo os espaços comuns são extremamente bem pensados e muito aprazíveis! Nota-se que foi tudo pensado com um toque especial de carinho pelos proprietários. A Candy, uma cadela adorável também ajudou a tornar a estadia mais simpática assim como os nossos serões! Obrigada Harry e Tina! Cheers to that with G&T! Até uma próxima! Josefina, Fátima, Cristina e Miguel.

Great place
We spent one week in Tina and Harry's cottage, closed to Amarante. It's a beautiful place, nice cottage, well equiped and clean.
Tina and Harry are lovely people who do all they can to make your holidays as nice as possible.
Amarante is a very nice town. The historic area is very interesting and you can have great views on the river.
If you want to eat well, go to "Taberna d'Azenha" (2 km from the cottage). Maria and her daughter Joanna are very nice. The food is good, simple and not expensive. Great address !!!
All my love to the pets !!! : Candy, Mel and Poppy !!!
Thanks Tina and Harry for your kindness.

Family holiday in sunny Potugal
We spent 9 nights in Orange Tree cottage ,myself,husband and 2 adult children.
The accomodation was spacious and had a great sitting out area under the vines.
Harry and Tina were great hosts ,always making sure all was ok.
We asked for a hairdryer ,iron and barbecue.All were discreetly put at our front door when we were out.
The pool area was amazing and for the first week we had it to ourselves.
As it was extremely hot we spent a lot of time at the poolThe TV in the pool house was ideal as it allowed us to watch Wimbolden in the sun.
We ate out most nights .Our favourite was La Pera it was a bit of a drive but worth it for the quality of food.
Little things make this a great destination .The bread van at 10.30 delivers great cakes and bread every day.
We also have to mention Candy ,the dog. She was a gem
Thank you Harry and Tina
