Casa do Alto is an old renovated stone chalet, on a farm, which is nestled in the hillside of the Cavado river valley. It is not far from the University of Minho campus. Exquisite views from all sides and part of the ancient Roman road to Braga is located just behind the door. The stone "eira" (or patio where cereals have dried) is one of the largest in the Minho region (484 m2) and many memorable events have taken place there.
The perfect place to stay as a base to visit this region of Portugal or just relax in the property itself (1 hectare) either in the garden or the small wooded area with oaks, cork oaks, chestnuts sweet among many other varieties of trees. It has 2 outdoor kitchens with barbecue and a large secluded private pool with a magnificent view of the orchard which includes a wide variety of fruit trees such as orange, lemon, tangerine, persimmon, apple, pear, fig, cherry, kiwi, grapes, apricot, peach, plum and many more.
There is so much to see around the Minho region and, as Casa do Alto is almost in the center of this region, it is an ideal base for this region of the country. Braga, the nearest big city to Casa do Alto (5 km), is an exciting city with many historic sites to visit, such as the oldest cathedral in Portugal. Excellent local and international gastronomy can be enjoyed in the many restaurants available in and around Braga, with a wide range of exquisite wines which Portugal is renowned for.
There is also a "tourist triangle" made up of the three famous sanctuaries of "Bom Jesus", "Sameiro" and "Stª Marta" which are worth a visit.

Zenitude aux environs de BRAGA
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Margaret, Mario et Daniel. L'accueil a été très chaleureux, comme si nous nous connaissions depuis très longtemps. Vaste propriété comme décrit dans l'annonce avec le calme et l'ambiance british. Un grand merci pour la qualité de ce logement dans un cadre confortable et bien entretenu. La disponibilité et les petites attentions de nos hôtes ont vraiment fait la différence. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et ne manquerons pas de recommander cette adresse. Véronique et François

Loved The Stay and The Family
We stayed in this rustic apt and it had as much character as its owners. Mario, Margaret, and Tonia are great hosts. We appreciate the coziness and the helpfulness of the hosts.

Fun and very unique place
These are amazing hosts! We were met with a beautiful array of snacks and gifts to start out our unique stay. We have never stayed any place like this. I think we spent all most all of our time in the bar. And if you are looking for a pool this one is it!

Escapadinha de 5 amigos
Fizemos reserva para 4 dias/3 noites. Chegamos e fomos recebidos pelos proprietários um casal extremamente simpático e atencioso. Esperava nos uma casa rústica de boas dimensões muito limpa. Com direito ainda a alguns mantimentos que inclusivo foram usados ao jantar. Parte exterior com uma piscina e zona envolvente agradável, com bons espaços para refeições ao ar livre e convívios. Recomendo 🙂

Amazing place!!
The house was fantastic. Super luxury and had absolutely anything we needed. We were 3 families sharing 2 floors. We have arrived in the afternoon and they have offered a lunch that was prepared for us, great surprise! House is authentic and beautiful, with all the amenities that you wish for. Our kid and us enjoyed big pool with amazing views . It’s one of the bay places we have stayed in!

Magnifique séjour
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour chez Peggy et Mario, des hôtes très disponibles pour nous guider dans nos excursions. L'appartement du rez-de-chaussée est très agréable et très frais. Parfait pour résister aux chaleurs de l'été. La piscine est très belle, comme sur les photos, et le jardin ombragé, plein d'orangers et de citronniers. Je recommande cet hébergement dans lequel j'espère avoir l'occasion de séjourner à nouveau lors d'un prochain voyage au Portugal.
