Casa do Alto (top floor apartment)

Pros: We loved being in the countryside, views, sunsets,birdsong. The hosts were gracious and attentive.Of course the great swimming pool was not on our agenda since it was still cold in March.In the apartment the hosts had made a great effort to supply all “mod cons”plus iron and ironing board, etc. A lovely surprise was the array of foods provided on our arrival. The nearby restaurant Elvira was excellent.Cons: The various kitchen appliances were scattered across the kitchen area and in the room with the water heater, obviously an afterthought of the design.The beds were old and narrow doubles, the pullout couch sagged. The lighting in the living room was glaring.However, overall, the price is right.

Had a marvellous seven days at Casa do Alto . Michael and Tania are fantastic hosts who can't do enough to help you enjoy your stay. From recommending restaurants to letting us know interesting places to visit. They even help us sort out a problem with our hire car. The apartment has lovely views over the valley and is situated in its own garden of Eden where everything is abundant . It is only a few minutes from Braga by car and around six euro's in an Uber! It also boasts a large swimming pool which has its own superb over the valley. Also fantastic showers and bathrooms , its a really luxurious , relaxing experience and would highly recommend

Beautiful apartment in a stone house with stunning view over the valley. Very spacious. Perfect for two couples or a family. Good as a destination or a base for other day trips. Communications with hosts was very good and the food supplies they provided for our first day was very much appreciated. The pool was very large and very refreshing after a day of touring.

My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights. The stay was so lovely. The apartment and its surrounding were beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again

We couldn’t have chosen better. The family were so welcoming and everything was as described. A fantastic position and we look forward to returning.
