Obrigada por tudo, Gloria!
Liebe Gloria, wir haben uns sehr gut erholt in Ihrem schönen Refugium. Es war ein Traum, jeden Morgen mit Aussicht auf die Berge und den See zu frühstücken, im Pool zu baden, der mit Palmen in dem schönen, gepflegten, blühenden Garten liegt. Es gab Eidechsen und Kröten zu entdecken. Wir lieben es, ungestört für uns zu sein, niemand schaut in das Grundstück hinein. Es gab Wassersportgeräte, Tischtennis (lieben wir), Tischkicker (machte viel Spaß), genug Geschirr. Alles war schön eingerichtet. Klar, man braucht ein Auto, aber wir waren auch wandern, haben im Stausse und Rio Cavado und im Atlantik gebadet. In Braga waren wir oft, haben sogar ein Fußballspiel im tollen Stadion gesehen. Guimaraes hat uns auch sehr gefallen. Sonnenuntergang in Bom Jesus war sensationell. Die Restaurantempfehlung "Pedra Verde" teilen wir. Cafesinho mit Pasteis de Nata ging immer und überall. Wir könne Ihr Haus nur wärmstens empfehlen. Danke für alles! Ihre Familie Reincke

Superbe séjour
Merveilleuse villa dans les vallées du Douro. Au calme avec une piscine bien située. Endroit idéal pour visiter les villages portugais typiques.

A gem in the country side
It's a little house but still you have privacy and plenty of room. We loved the pool area with sunbeds, football table and shower/toilet. The house had a great wifi-network (the best one we have ever had in a rented house across Europe (the teenagers was happy). Three good bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen (a bootle of Portugues wine as a welcome is always appreciated!). It's plenty of very good restaurants in the nearby area (a car is though needed). If you get tired of laying in the sun. day trips to Porto, Braga and Guimaraez are a good thing to do. All in all, living here for a week was a perfect end of this year's holliday in lovley Portugal!

Une maison où il fait bon vivre dans un ecrin de verdure
Un petit havre de paix. Une maison très bien pensée et agencée où il fait bon vivre, pour passer d'agréables vacances et découvrir cette très belle region du Portugal. L' acces est facile. Susana et Gloria, les hôtes, sont tres gentilles et disponibles. Nous avons apprécié la piscine, la table de ping pong, le babby foot, les petits dejeuners et autres repas en terrasse, les couchers de soleil... La maison est nichée dans un petit ecrin de verdure. Merci Gloria et Susana de nous faire profiter de ce bel environnement.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Gloria Mesquita

Host profile image
My name is Gloria, I am 78 years old and I’m now retired. I have two children and 6 grandchildren — between 24 and 4 years old — that are now helping me with this house.
We all live in Porto, at about 1 hour from Casa Dikitaru.

Why they chose this property

This familiar house was our preference for weekends and vacation. Now, as it’s difficult to go there with such frequency due to my children’s jobs and kids’ school, we decided to rent it.
We find this place very nice and quiet, with a pleasant garden, swimming pool and an interesting view. We believe this is a great place to rest but at the same time located nearby a lot of cities (ex. Braga, Guimarães, Porto, Ponte de Lima, Viana do Castelo), so you can also visit and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Private swimming pool , the garden and the landscape.
