Entspannte Ferien in Nordportugal
Wir hatten in dem toll gelegenen Steinhaus einen wunderbar erholsamen 3-wöchigen Urlaub. Das Haus ist komplett eingerichtet, geradezu üppig sind Geschirr und Küchenutensilien vorhanden. Wir haben gar nichts vermisst. Alle Geräte haben bestens funktioniert, auch Wasserzuläufe und Abflüsse waren einwandfrei. Die Dusche war 1A!! Das Grundstück liegt mitten in Weinbergen völlig ruhig mit sensationellem Blick über das Limatal und die römische Brücke von Ponte de Lima. Es ist bewachsen mit Obstbäumen, Oleander und Olivenbäumen. Der sehr hilfsbereite und gleichzeitig zurückhaltende Eigentümer, der im Nachbarhaus wohnt, hat uns viele Tipps gegeben. Insgesamt ist das Haus sehr empfehlenswert und die Gegend für viele Aktivitäten attraktiv (tolle Strände, alte Städte, Wandern im Nationalpark, Fahrradfahren am Lima entlang). Ponte de Lima ist eine kleine quirlige Stadt mit ettlichen Restaurants und Supermärkten. Man bekommt alles, was man braucht. PKW ist unbedingt erforderlich.

Ruhe und Idylle
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche in dem sehr geschmackvoll renovierten Steinhaus verlebt. Der Garten und die Aussicht auf das Tal und Weinberge sind sehr schön. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hat viele Tipps parat. Ponte de Lima ist ein sehr hübsches Städtchen. Man kann im Fluss baden oder auch den Jakobsweg ein Stück entlang wandern, der durch diesen Ort führt. Auch zu anderen Städten und zu vielen schönen Stränden ist es nicht weit. Nordportugal hat uns insgesamt sehr gut gefallen und wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Wir haben die Zeit in dem sehr gemütlichen Haus und dem tollen Garten sehr genossen. Als Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu erkunden, ob nach Porto oder zu dem Nationalpark, ist das Haus perfekt. Detlef ist ein sehr freundlicher und umsichtiger Vermieter. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Idyllisches Häuschen
Sehr entspannende Woche, die Lage des Hauses ist kaum zu überbieten! Sehr zuvorkommender Vermieter, hat uns gleich unsere vergessenen Sachen nachgeschickt - DANKE nochmals dafür! Kleines "Aber": das Haus könnte ein bissl einen "Relaunch" vertragen (z.B. neue Pölster & Teppiche, neuer Duschvorhang im Keller oder ein wenig neue Farbe in der Küche). Der Hund des Besitzers ist allerliebst - wir wollten ihn schon fast mitnehmen :-)

Great break in a lovely place
A really lovely house in a beautiful, peaceful location. The house has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, the building manager was really helpful. A warm, welcoming local community. Great views and a terraced garden full of fantastic fruit. Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks!

Fantastic holiday in an amazingly beautiful area of Northen Portugal.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this very comfortable and beautiful house in the pretty village of Calheiros. The house is very cosy, and does have everything one needs, the kitchen is well equipped, the rooms are bright and airy with very tasteful decor, and each have their own distinctive view. We appreciated the bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, which gave us all some space and privacy during our stay, and kept a cool temperature for the evenings. It’s true, the garden is a marvel, and one has to be there to appreciate the amazing views onto Ponte de Lima and the hills around. There are vines, bushes, flowers, and fruit trees which we could help ourself to, fresh fruit from the garden, and in abundance ! We really enjoyed the tranquility of this lovely space. The pool was just the right temperature, with plenty of shade too for those who need it and yes the views are stunning ! There is a large vine-covered terrace/parking for the car, which really helped on the hot sunny days. The location is perfect ; a 10 mins walk to the village café /store, and 10 mins by car to the town centre of Ponte de Lima. The town is set along the river and is very traditional, with beautiful old stonework and lots of history. There are little shops, cafés and restaurants , with lots of choice and the most part very inexpensive. Parking is aplenty and there is a very good, huge market on Mondays along the riverbank. The large supermarkets are just at the entrance to the town, along with a variety of shops for everything you could need. We spent an incredible holiday in this amazing location, and we would definitely go back to explore the area and benefit from this super gite and its location !! Thank you.

A comfortable house with everything you need with beautiful gardens with fantastic views.
The house is situated in a quiet area outside a village and was difficult to find initially. The property has beautiful terraced gardens with a fantastic view towards Pont de Lima. The pool was very refreshing on the very hot days and also has the most amazing view. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The property is within easy reach of the coast and the mountains and also from the interesting towns of Porto, Braga and Guimarães. The local town of Pont De Lima is also very pretty and had everything you need. We had a wonderful teo weeks at this property.

Fantastisch verblijf in Calheiros
Rust, stilte, schaduw en een prachtig privé zwembad en een prachtige locatie. We hebben enorm genoten van ons geweldige zomerverblijf via Home Away een aanrader en de moeite van het reizen. Vlak bij Ponte de Lima heb je een dorpje in de heuvels ,waar dit prachtige zomerhuis is gesitueerd. In het dorpje zelf, bij de bakker naast de kerk, kun je 's morgens verse broodjes af halen en voor de grote boodschappen ga je naar Lima toe, een fraai stadje in Noord-Portugal. We hebben een heerlijke wek gehad in dit geweldige huis met zes terrassen. De eerste keer is het even zoeken omdat je de laatste 100 meter bergaf gaat over een onverhard zandweggetje om bij de ingang van het huis te komen, maar dat is dan ook het enigste minpuntje.

Mooie locatie
Heel apart huis met grappige (arti) elementen. Tuin opgedeeld in diverse niveau's met fruitbomen. Zwembad oud maar wel verkoelend. Mooie uitzichten. Huis zou wel wat verbeteringen moeten hebben gezien de prijs. Bereikbaarheid is lastig wanneer je een grote auto hebt. We hebben er een week heerlijk kunnen relaxen.
