This charming Minho farmhouse is part of a 150 acre estate. The house stands in the Geraz valley above a 50 acre of a really young kiwi plantation. It is 6km from the village of Póvoa Lanhoso where there is a weekly market on Thursdays, some shops and restaurants. The ‘Restaurant Victor’ about 3km away is recommended, as is the ‘Restaurant Quinta da Tapada’ at Amares. Braga, which is just under 16km away used to be the religious capital of Portugal. The beautiful Gerêz National Parque, a vast hilly area and the largest nature reserve in Portugal, is 20km drive.

The house is very well restored, furnished and finished with impeccable taste. A large glazed door opens into the well equipped kitchen with its varnished pine floor, ceramic hob, two ovens and dishwasher, white work surface and fitted cupboards, which effectively screen the dining area. It adjoins the drawing room where there is masses of comfortable seating, set between large sliding windows to the wisteria hung terrace and an open fireplace. A spiral staircase winds up to a first floor landing, off which is a bathroom/wc and a charming first floor sitting room, which in turn gives access to a twin bedroom. At the other end of the house, with separate outside access is a sitting area off which is a bathroom/wc and stairs to a mezzanine with 2 single beds. The house has a telephone.

Opposite the house, a charming cottage provides two bedrooms on the ground floor: one with a single bed; the other with 2 single beds, a child’s bed and a folding bed. These two bedrooms share a bathroom/wc. On the first floor, and only accessed from the outside, is a play room with ping-pong table and a Portuguese billiards table. There is a utility room which contains a washing machine. Beyond the cottage a lawn runs towards the 10m x 5m swimming pool (depth 1.1m-2m).

£50 welcome pack available on request.
