Casa espetacular num sitio lindissimo!
Excelente casa, melhor do que aparenta nas fotografias! Lugar muito sossegado e excelente para quem procura paz e natureza.
O Proprietário da casa é muito acessível e amigável!
Por fim, os seus cãopanheiros são umas doçuras e para quem gosta de animais como nós deterrem-se com eles!
Gostamos muito e aconselhamos.

Superbe propriété au calme , détente assurée , rien ne manque : vaisselle , électroménager tout est là et en super état , comme neuf ! La literie est parfaite ( ce n'est pas toujours le cas dans les locations ) Propreté irréprochable partout dans la propriété. Le propriétaire est super sympathique aux petits soins pour ses locataires .Vraiment à recommander . Pas loin de la ville de Braga qu'il faut absolument visiter . Encore un grand merci à Monsieur Abel Carvalho !
