Wonderful traditional Portuguese villa, perfect for family holiday.
Stayed here for a week with 6 young family members aged 20-25, it couldn't have been more perfect.
Four 1st floor bedrooms with en suite and two bedrooms on the 2nd floor share a bathroom, so lots of space for us all.
The pool was just fab, has a diving board and lots of sunbathing room. The BBQ was used a lot as was the ample seating on the veranda for lovely meals altogether. The games room was so much fun and had many an hour spent in it.
We walked to Bustelo station, approx 20 mins, and caught the train into Porto for a day which was amazing. The kids stayed and went clubbing and got the last train home.
The local Lidl was great for all the food and drink and was just 10 minutes away by car.
The sunsets were beautiful and family memories were made, thank you Miguel and family 😊
