The cottage is in a beautiful setting surrounded by trees and you can hear the rivers - a real retreat from city life. The cottage was really comfortable and well equipped, we loved eating outside, trying and failing to spot the birds that we could hear in the trees. We made extensive use of the bread van, which comes every morning, allowing us to have sugary treats for tea every day. We took the odd break from swimming in the pool to go river swimming which was a real treat - worth the walk to find the swim at the old dam. Amarante is not too far away, and there is more to explore there than you might see at first glance. The art museum was really good, we borrowed (e.g. they were free) bikes from tourist office and did a really nice ride on the old train line from Amarante into the hills. Harry was really helpful in helping us find things to do without being at all intrusive and on top of that saved our bacon with the hire car. You do need a car to get to the nearest shop. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent weeks break in Fig cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and and had everything we needed during our stay. Downstairs stayed nice and cool during the hot weather. Harry and Tina were very friendly and helpful hosts wine and tomatoes were greatly appreciated. The pool was great especially as the weather was very hot during our stay. We ate breakfast on the private terrace as the sun came up and dinner under the vines in the evening listening to the crickets and other insects. The location is very quiet and peaceful but within easy reach on the attractive town of Amarante. Chris and Sue

This is a nice apartment with a clean swimming pool. We have spent three nice days here near Amarante. We had some problems with water and gas but it was all solved quickly by the friendly owner. Hessel.
