“This is a hidden gem, far beyond our expectations - all the 21st century comforts, but tucked away off the beaten track in a timeless, unspoilt landscape. In the casita we had everything we needed in one spacious, characterful open plan room and just outside, the pool, barbecue and spectacular scenery. We explored the area by mountain bike, following ancient hidden trails through forests, streams and primitive villages up to stunning viewpoints. Our laid-back host, Mike, guided us through some memorable, fun-filled adventures. This really is a great escapist retreat, thoughtfully created and warmly welcoming, which the website can't do justice to. ”

“Our very first time in North Portugal... wasn't sure what to expect but we have really enjoyed seeing the real Portugal. The Casita and Farmhouse have been perfect for our family, everything we could have asked for. All in all an excellent holiday for us all. Thank you both for your kind and helpful advice. ”

“Here's a time when the actual place was better than the internet pictures! Casa da Fonte is so beautiful, both inside and out. Some of the highlights for us were the fresh bread rolls delivered every morning, trails that led to waterfalls, churches and beautiful forests, the seafood in La Guarda, sheep's bells ringing as they passed by our window every night, the games room for the kids and long, sound nights sleep. What more could you ask for! ”
