A picture postcard cottage set in beautiful surroundings.

Perfectly positioned to explore the local amenities and countryside, with plenty of restaurants and cafes a short drive away.A very good place to base an outdoors themed holiday or short break for an authentic feel of the real Portugal ! The hosts Tina and Harry are always very helpful with tips, help and local knowledge to make your stay an enjoyable experience. And if that isn't enough they can source you some really good red or white wines , what more could you want ?

Family holiday in sunny Potugal

We spent 9 nights in Orange Tree cottage ,myself,husband and 2 adult children. The accomodation was spacious and had a great sitting out area under the vines. Harry and Tina were great hosts ,always making sure all was ok. We asked for a hairdryer ,iron and barbecue.All were discreetly put at our front door when we were out. The pool area was amazing and for the first week we had it to ourselves. As it was extremely hot we spent a lot of time at the poolThe TV in the pool house was ideal as it allowed us to watch Wimbolden in the sun. We ate out most nights .Our favourite was La Pera it was a bit of a drive but worth it for the quality of food. Little things make this a great destination .The bread van at 10.30 delivers great cakes and bread every day. We also have to mention Candy ,the dog. She was a gem Thank you Harry and Tina

Beautiful place to stay, tranquil and with a great

We stayed here with our 2 children (aged 6 and 7) for a week but by the time we left we wished we had booked for longer. The cottages have everything they need, are clean, the pool is only a few steps away with plenty of deckchairs and a great view of the surroundings. There's also plenty of spots to sit in the shade under pergolas covered by vines. Tina and Harry are great hosts without being intrusive.There's the river down below if you want a change from the pool and there's plenty of cities/sights to visit within an hour's drive. We don't usually go to the same place twice but if we ever visit Portugal again we wouldn't hesitate to come back here. Thanks again for a great stay!!

Pics don't do this place justice!

We stayed here for 10 days with our teenage children and had planned to chill one day and sight see the next. That didn't quite work to plan as once we had spent a day by the pool lounging on the quality sun loungers we were hooked! We did go to Porto on the local bus which only took an hour and is well worth a visit, in fact we will come back for a weekend to explore it more. The cottages are in beautiful location and only around 3 miles to Amarante which has plenty of restaurants. By the way, this is by far the cheapest holiday we have ever had. We ate what and where we wanted and the most expensive meal including wine, desserts etc came to around £40!!! The cottages are very well equipped with all you'll need and very clean. Harry and Tina are lovely people and are there for you if you need them but not at all intrusive. North Portugal is completely different to the Algarve and if it's fish and chips you're after then this area wouldn't be for you. Definitely recommend it. Thank you Harry and Tina .

Fantastic Place

I booked this place to celebrate my 60th birthday with my family and friends and I wasn't disappointed. My husband and I stayed in Olive Tree with friends. The place is only a short drive from Amarante where there are some lovely bars and shops. Porto is only 45mins by bus. We decided to go by bus as we weren't sure about parking. Porto is fantastic lots to do. We also drove to Regua, where you can have a boat trip on the Douro. As there were 10 of us we booked the whole place. There was ample parking for all three cars. Our cottage was lovely, thick stone walls tiled floors. One double room and one twin. Everything that we needed was catered for. We needed a blender and Tina the owner loaned us hers. Nothing was too much trouble. There was extra bedding in the drawers if it got cold. It is an ideal place if you have a large group as there a communal room by the Pool for meeting. There is a television which you can receive British channels. There are fantastic views from this area. Sun loungers, table and chairs. Harry and Tina thought of everything. It is a quiet place ideal for walking reading just chilling. It is also suitable for individual families as each cottage is separate from each other. All having there own outdoor areas to sit. Every morning at 10.00am the bread van would arrive. You could hear his horn across the river then five minutes later he arrived, but you have to be quick. We will certainly be back.

Maison typique

La maison est typique portugaise très chouette avec une jolie piscine . Seul problème c'est que les propriétaires habitent juste a côté, nous avons passé nos vacances accompagné des propriétaires avec plusieurs réflexions si j'avais su je n'aurais pas loué cette maison.

Une semaine de rêve

En 2023, on peut encore trouver des hôtes incroyables avec une histoire atypique qui proposent un lieu fabuleux : la Casa Da Ponte. Un domaine rénové avec goût qui offre tout ce que l'on souhaite pour être hors du temps et du monde, quelques jours. Le vieux Amarante est superbe avec sa confeitaria de 1930, ses nombreux bars au cachet insoupçonnable. Absolument recommandé. High On Emotion ;) R&S

Uma experiência fantástica!

Somos um pequeno grupo de amigos de 4 pessoas e estivemos na propriedade do Harry e da Tina na última semana de Agosto e foi uma experiência fantástica, além dos anfitriões serem umas pessoas 5 estrelas e extremamente simpáticas, foram sempre muito prestáveis e atentos a qualquer falta que pudéssemos sentir, a casa onde ficámos e mesmo os espaços comuns são extremamente bem pensados e muito aprazíveis! Nota-se que foi tudo pensado com um toque especial de carinho pelos proprietários. A Candy, uma cadela adorável também ajudou a tornar a estadia mais simpática assim como os nossos serões! Obrigada Harry e Tina! Cheers to that with G&T! Até uma próxima! Josefina, Fátima, Cristina e Miguel.
