Very private and on the river front, these two refurbished slate cottages are like a Portuguese icon. We had the smaller cottage, with fully equipped kitchen, separate bedroom and ensuite. It has an outdoor undercover seating area to watch and listen to the river. It was very clean and contains lovely personal items to give it a homely feeling. Stay if you can!

Adorámos tudo! Um fim de semana em família perfeito numa quinta maravilhosa com praia privada, fonte natural de água potável. A casa principal moderna é muito bem decorada, mesinha cá fora para refeições. Um lugar mágico.
