Holiday houses in Tarouca

Wow! What an incredible host, location and house. The home was even better than described, everything was spotless with fresh fruit, a welcome basket and more. Margarida kindly greeted me when I arrived late at night and made me feel very welcome, upon arrival it was amazing to be greeted so warmly and to be made to feel at home, the fire was even going so it was nice and warm. Communication was regular and very helpful with support navigating the local area. Margarida went above and beyond what was required to ensure I go to where I needed to be on my trip, dropping me off, picking me up, arranging transport, showing me the local area and more. Words cannot describe how great of a time I had here and it would not have been the same without such an amazing host. I eagerly await my next visit here, Obrigado to my host !

It was all according to what we needed and what was in the advertisement. It was a good weekend

Excellent Host, Awesome accommodation!

Accommodation exactly as in the photos, calm location, practical because it is a few meters from a market and other points of interest. About 10 minutes drive from the center of Guimarães. The self check-in was super practical and with the password we had access to the safe with the keys. The house was extremely clean and the central heating was certainly a differential, giving the necessary thermal comfort on the colder days we were there. When we reached the site, the house was already heated! The kitchen is well equipped and has served us beyond what is expected. The garage accommodates a large car well, since it has a table for conviviality. It is a great accommodation for the family. If you seek tranquility with comfort, this is the ideal space.

This accommodation is by far the best I have booked through this platform over the years. The advert really cannot prepare you for how beautiful this place is in real life. The views, the surroundings and the accommodation itself are absolutely gorgeous. Upstairs has indeed two bathrooms, but all three rooms downstairs have their own en-suite. Which gave are group of 18 more then enough space in the mornings and afternoon. The central fire place is amazing, and more than enough wood is provided underneath the house. The natural surroundings of the place are also our of this world. There is a small stream going accros the land, which results in a waterfall near the pool, the sound is so peaceful. Diogo is amazing, friendly and super flexible. as our flight arrived early & airport proceedings were speedy we asked if we could check in earlier. That was no problem at all, as Diogo was not there yet, his housekeeping team let us in. Thanks for letting us stay here, maybe until next year!

Great location, somewhat remote, close to Vouzela. The proximity of Ecopista (walking/biking trail) is a big bonus: you can walk to nearby towns through beautiful nature, cute houses and vineyards. The co-host, Fatima, was very helpful with advice, suggestions and recommendations. The house itself is beautifully renovated and furnished, and very clean.

Lovely peaceful house in the mountains of the country side, beautiful weather everyday. 5 of us had such a relaxing holiday, the pool is huge and was great to cool off and early morning swims. Spacious house with big bedrooms, supermarket and town 5 minutes drive away, close to the motorway to go places. We loved the pool down in the Vouga valley, canoeing down the rapids on the Rio Paiva was a fantastic day and a great drive in the mountains. Beaches and Aveiro are lovely and not too far away. Water Park at Amarante is also awesome.

This villa exceeded our expectations, and was well appointed to accommodate our needs. We were two families totally 4 adults and 4 kids, and the size was perfect. Outdoor amenities were great, including pool, bathhouse, picnic and barbecue area. The property was very private, and there was a Marina Bar next door that has great food (the burger is one of the best I've had). The only two downsides, which didn't impact my rating was that the wifi didn't work well (I had my own hotspot, and you might want to disconnect) and the beds are firm (seems common in Portugal, because we had a very similar experience at another place). We were looking for a place that was central to northern Portugal, and this worked out great (less then 30 mins to Porto). Being right on the Duro river was very relaxing. We were also able to experience folk dancing (rancho) next door at the marina one night, which was a great cultural experience.
