Panoramic mountain views
We had a marvellous week at Casa Montanha. It was even more stunning than the pictures - stupendous views right across the valleys to the mountains and total peace. We saw dramatic thunderstorms over the hills but also calm sunny times in and out of the magnificent pool. Graça was a lovely host, most attentive from the initial welcome to checking in through the week, with top tops for our day trip to Porto.
The house was quite simply the best holiday home we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped and so many comfortable places to sit and be in the lovely garden, shaded terrace and spacious home. We enjoyed fabulous dinners at home using the great bbq, with bay and apples from the grounds. The three bedrooms were all a good size and elegant with excellent showers. We were a family with four grownup children and it was comfortable to eat or play cards or lounge by the pool all six of us - unusual.
We loved the area - rural Portugal with deep peace, but not too isolated. Town and shops not too far away and we enjoyed the daily bakers van and the river beach in nearby celerico.
All in all, it was perfect. Thank you Graça, we would all like to come again!
