Heavenly
The house exceeded all expectations, especially the outside space, pool and gardens. The views are superb and we enjoyed the variety of places we could sit to view the surrounding countryside and sky. Very well equipped kitchen and BBQ which was above average for a holiday let. Our host was extremely helpful and her recommendations for local food and activities was fantastic. Did not want to leave after a week.

Beautifull house and garden
Perfect house for a relaxing family holiday. The location is perfect to visit Porto and other city’s in the region. We need much more than the two weeks we already spend to see everything. When you want to relax just take a swim, read a book at the balcony or somewhere in the garden. You can have lovely dinners outside. Lígia is a perfect hostess with great information about where to eat and what to do.

Stunning house in beautiful surroundings
The property was exceptionally stylish inside and out; it was very characterful and well equipped. The house was perfectly situated in peaceful countryside but with easy access to Porto and other interesting towns, villages and the National Park. Ligia could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Belle propriété, difficilement accessible
Idéal pour se reposer loin de tout. Manque de commerces approximite . Tres beau jardin, maison sombre et manquant de confort, tel que éclairage dans les salles de bains, escalier raide pour accéder aux chambres. Suggestions; pour les voyageurs arrivant par avion et tard l’après-midi, un petit panier comprenant du cafe, sucre etc serai le bienvenue

A WONDERFUL VACATION HOME/GARDEN/EVERYTHING !!!!!
We stayed in Castel Rei for three unforgettable weeks, the house is very, very cosy, the bedrooms/bathrooms upstairs are nice and clean with a beautiful view, a full equipped big kitchen with a expresso machine, washing and dishwashingmachine, it has 5 terraces and 4500 m2 of garden,with beautiful flowers everywhere, a true paradise......a lovely saltwaterswimmingpool, with a seperate shower and a washroom. Guimaraes and the surrounding little villages are very nice to visit, there are enough supermarkets in the area, and wonderful restaurants who serve the Portugese dishes also. Porto is for sure a place to visit, if you don't want want to walk too much, take a boattour, or a hop on, hop off bus, there's a lot of history everywhere. I must say that we are still homesick, we miss the silence, the serenity, and sitting outside with a glass of Port or wine. we definitely want to come back next year !!!!!!!!! also thanks to you, lovely Ligua !!!

Super schönes Domizil
Ein schönes Haus mit einem wunderbaren auf mehrere Ebenen verteilter Garten. Um das Haus und im Garten verteilt gibt es mehrere schöne Ecke zum gemeinsamen Entspannen. Leider ist es Nachts recht laut, da in direkter Nähe viele Hunde untergebracht sind.
