This is the best property we ever stayed in. It has everything, lovely secure private gardens, an amazing pool and playroom which my teenage children really enjoyed. The house has all mod-cons and plenty of space. We really enjoyed the beauty of the location and found it an excellent location to explore Porto and the Doura valley, with easy access to the nearby motorway. However, a car is a necessity. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again when visiting Porto.

The villa was lovely, it had everything you could need, with a shop 7 mins walk away. Everything else you would need a car, we got Ubers everywhere which would be around 26-28 euros one way to Porto. We decided to do this rather than drive. The swimming pool was lovely and the beds were comfy. Everything worked, also had a coffee machine which we used daily. we would recommend this place.

Toller Garten, Haus ok
Plus-Punkte
-toller Garten mit eigenen Zitronen/Orangenbäumen (leider gespritzt, aber ist vielleicht anders nicht möglich)
-schöner Pool
-Hängematte, Schaukel für Kinder
-Küchenausstattung absolut ausreichend
-nette Eigentümerin (bekamen sogar ein kleines Willkommensgeschenk)
Negativ-Punkte
-Baustelle nebenan
-UG stinkt regelrecht
-Sauberkeit mäßig
-abgelegene Gegend
-Muffiger Geruch in den Schlafzimmern, insbesondere Schränke und Bettdecken. Denke das kommt von der Feuchtigkeit im Haus, dass nichts richtig abtrocknet. Hat aber auch immer wieder geregnet während unseres Aufenthaltes.
Alles in allem hatten wir eine gute Zeit, würden wahrscheinlich das nächste Mal eine Unterkunft näher an Porto wählen

Estancia agradable
La casa es muy bonita, con amplias zonas comunes pero dormitorios pequeños, imposible poner supletorias, hay que poner colchones en zonas comunes y abajo solo es posible en verano porque es una estancia fría. Jardín muy cuidado y grande, la piscina genial. Los anfitriones, muy amables y con detalle de bienvenida. Para mejorar: no había papel higiénico ni sartenes. Además el sistema de cámaras te hace sentir vigilado, restando intimidad a la estancia.

Cette location à 20min de Porto était très bien. Seule chose dommage est qu'il n'y ait qu'un jeu de clef alors que nous étions 6

Belle maison et possibilités à proximité
Belle propriété et parc. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
Maison grande et totalement amenagée. Il faut compter plutôt 30' jusqu’à Porto (40' en train).
Communication possible en francais, suffissante pour comprendre l'essentiel

Casa en Portugal
El alojamiento está bien, el inconveniente es que yo alquile para 8 personas y habitaciones solo había a para seis personas.
El dormitorio de la aparte de abajo es muy frio para invierno y las otras dos personas tuvimos que tirar colchones al suelo. Por lo demás es un entorno estupendo, pero quizás para verano.

Estancia perfecta
La casa es maravillosa, todavía mejor que las fotos. Está muy limpia y tiene de todo. La piscina es estupenda, la disfrutamos mucho y la sala de juegos también. Los anfitriones son muy amables y nos trataron muy bien, siempre preocupados por si nos hacía falta algo. El pan que nos dejaban cada día y el oporto a la hora de llegada es un plus. Nos encantó todo y no nos importaría volver

Petit coin de paradis
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour….la maison tout en étant au calme, sans vis à vis se trouve à proximité de tout, grande ville, zoo, mer etc…
La piscine au sel est parfaite et propre avec un très beau jardin bien clôturé, nous avions notre chien…
Il y a également un verger avec plein de fruits de saison.
La literie est excellente et propre.
Nous avons vraiment été satisfait de cette location.
Merci au propriétaire.

A lovely break!
We really enjoyed our stay here, it has everything there to keep us and the children occupied. The host was very responsive with and queries we had and was lovely enough to leave us fresh rolls/bread every morning. I would highly recommend…thanks a lot!!

Nice summer gem
We enjoyed our stay in Casa da Fonte. It's not a very practical house - the bedrooms are spread out and the kitchen is outside the main house, but it's a nice place for a summer weekend. I wouldn't advise families with young children to stay there for a long period of time as it's not very safe for kids, there's loads of stairs and the swimming pool doesn't have a protective barrier. The fresh bread every morning was a lovely touch. Thank you to Alexandra and husband for a warm welcome.

Excellent house with very private garden
Really enjoyed our stay. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The house is beyond beautiful and the owners had organised their friend to meet and greet on check in. He could not have done more for us, showing us where local supermarkets and restaurants are. Checked in a number of times via text to make sure everything was ok.

Séjour à Porto
Très bon séjour, belle maison agréable avec tout le nécessaire.
Juste une frayeur lorsque la parois de douche est tombée alors que nous étions à l'extérieur sur la terrasse.
Mais les propriétaires sont venus immédiatement régler le problème.
Merci à vous.

Super experience
It really is worth renting it. Maybe the location is a little confusing to find, especially when you reach it in the dark. But if you found it: Very very special. A big area in a very calm place, good with children and even dogs, you have everything you need, especially fresh rolls every morning. Very helpful and friendly owners. We only can highly recommend it.

A wonderful villa for ages
The villa can be hard to find but when you do, wow. The gardens are well looked after with lemon apple and pear trees, there gapes hanging all round the edge of the garden. The pool is a good size and in the sun most of the day. The villa has all the amenities you need and if you have children the basement is perfect with table football and pool table. There is also a small cinema with about 10 up to date films. The nearest restaurant is about a 20 minute walk there a few local bars that take about 10 to fifteen minutes to walk to. Where the villa is situated is in a quiet location and the view to the hills are nice. Alexandra and her partner are really helpful and only a phone call away. We had fresh bread rolls delivered every day free of charge. Overall I can not fault the villa or the owners would love to come back again one day

Family vacation with friends
Just lovely! Beautiful yard and a little garden. Excpecially for Scandinavians lemon tree on your own garden is just perfection. Good beds. Fresh buns every morning. Kitchen is well equipped. It's worth to visit on nearest wineyard: only 500m by road to up hill. Excellent green wine for 2€/bottle. Only negative thing was that bedroom of the basement was quite stuffy and humid

not a winter destination!
15minutes from Parades,NO,in the middle of nowhere!!!Electric kept tripping,no hot water for two days,television has very poor reception.The whole place needs updating!We hated every minute of our holiday from hell!Oven in the small kitchen rattles terribly when used,the garage come kitchen oven, burns everything,thermostat needs fixing.Freezing cold no heating in the kitchen! The hot water,when we had it,had to be rationed,two showers,then wait for two hours to get anymore!Two bathrooms,only heating in one.Needs to be rethought before letting out again in winter.Nice enough people,tried to be helpful,but should not have happened.Should really be compensated!!!!!!!

The property exceeded our expectations.
We had the most wonderful, relaxing holiday at this accommodation. Absolutely loved it! The house and gardens were amazing and the pool was lovely and larger than we expected. We had the added bonus of being able to contact the lovely and friendly owner if we had any questions. and we had fresh rolls delivered to the house every morning and our bedding changed after the first week. It's located in a beautiful, secluded area and you are never far away from a beach, supermarket or places to visit. The only thing I would say is that it can be a little tricky to get into the gate initially, as the house is situated at the bottom of a steep hill. However, once you get used to it it is fine.
We will definitely consider returning to this accommodation again in the future.

Very nice place to stay for a family or more
Located close enough to Porto, and good location for daytrips to the Douro Valley wine region, Guimaraes etc. The house itself is as nice as it looks in the pictures, and we also had good time staying at the house with our kids. The hostess was also very helpful, we had a couple of incidents on our trip and she helped us with them.
