The banks of this famous river are just 3 kms away and boat trips can be enjoyed on the Douro and the Tâmega River in Portugal’s world renowned wine region. In the nearby village of São Miguel de Paredes you’ll find a store and a couple of restaurants; the town of Penafiel is 14 kms distant and the historic city of Porto a 40 km journey.
Huge oak doors give a splendid first impression and open into the courtyard where the old stables have been converted into six simple but cozy bedrooms, a double and five twins, each with en suite facilities and TV. . All bedrooms are accessed from the courtyard. Inside, an ample farmhouse kitchen includes a wood oven. There is an ageless charm in the delightfully rustic lounge and dining room, where granite walls, oak doors and a low wood-paneled ceiling combine to great effect with an imposing wood burning stove.
Just outside, the patio is the ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely summertime breakfast in view of the swimming pool which is enclosed by a lawn dotted with palms and with views across the grounds to the tree clad hillside beyond the village.
