Both this cottage and the adjacent two person cottage have their own entrance and have recently been redecorated and improved to offer guests a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The apartment is ideal for those who want to relax and unwind in a peaceful, beautiful environment. The nearby town of Ponte de Lima has a spectacular golf course and many good, and inexpensive, restaurants. The cottage is within walking distance of the Roman bridge which crosses the River Lima taking you to the town.

Once home to the estate workers, this converted two bedroom cottage has a sitting room with fireplace, sofas, television and music centre.

There is a fitted kitchenette concealed behind screens in the sitting-room. There are two twin bedrooms with an ensuite shower room.

There is a private terrace, with views over the vineyards, ideal for outside dining.

An additional bed is available, for an extra charge, which can be used without noticeable loss of space.

The accommodation is suitable for children and a car is recommended if staying at this location. Viana do Castelo, Braga, the Minho Region generally and Galicia in Spain are all well worth visiting.

Whilst December and January can be cool (for Portugal), spring starts in February which is known as the month of mimosa when the trees on the mountain side are covered in yellow flowers.

March and April are good months to go walking in the area or the neighbouring National Park of Peneda Geres. June to August months are for those who prefer hotter weather and a less active holiday.
