Ferienunterkünfte nahe Thermalquellen des Río Caldo in Lobios

We (family of 4 with two sons, aged 17 and 15 from Germany) stayed for two weeks at the end of July / beginning of August. The house is very nice and invites on the one hand to spend time here, but on the other hand is an ideal starting point for a variety of activities. In the Peneda National Park we hiked some very varied trails (the app Wikiloc has saved some good routes here, otherwise there are good suggestions on the website or in the tourist office). We have also made trips to Braga, Guimarães, Porto, Santa Cruz, the coast and the Douro Valley. The house is very well equipped and even the kids were happy with the WiFi :-). The pool is large and offers beautiful views. Gerês offers several restaurants where you can eat at very reasonable prices. If you do without the car, you have will loose the calories as quickly as you eat them, because the way to the house is not long but quite steep. The morning walk to the bakery replaced in any case the jogging. But the house offers a great view, where you can enjoy the evenings with a good glass of port wine in absolute peace. Two highlights around the topic of port wine: - Lunch at Graham's Port Lodge in Porto with a fantastic view of Porto. If you want to avoid the not quite cheap food you can just enjoy a glass of port wine on the terrace. - In the Douro Valley, we visited the Sandeman Winery (Quinta de Seixo), with a magnificent view over the vineyards. Overall, a great holiday for each of us had something to offer, in a beautiful house with very nice hosts. Highly recommended, as long as you are not aiming for the classic beach holiday, but a healthy mix of activities and chill out at the pool.

We loved the stone house village and the river. The typical house had everything you needed and the beautiful garden was perfect when you want to relax in the sunny afternoon underneath a wine-leaf-ceiling in the garden. We even could use some herbs for cooking. The check in was easy and we got every useful information. It is very close to some restaurants and there is also a small grocery store.
