Arouca: Ferienunterkünfte am See

very nice and clean house, including AC, friendly and helpful host. If going back to that area I would book it again. Thanks for having us

We can only confirm everything that was written here by other guests. It is absolutely worth it going there! We had only three days there in this large house surrounded by nature on our road trip through Portugal and Galicia, but next time, we will try to stay longer, because there is so much to discover there. We can absolutely recommend taking the train ride up the Douro valley to Pinhao or one of the other charming little towns there! Many thanks to Joao for the friendly reception - and the local wine and beer we found in the fridge were very welcome on a hot day!

Wir hatten das unglaubliche Vergnügen, eine wundervolle Zeit in diesem Ferienhaus zu verbringen, und können es nur wärmstens empfehlen! Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir von den überaus freundlichen und herzlichen Vermietern empfangen, die uns sofort das Gefühl gaben, willkommen zu sein. Ihre Hilfsbereitschaft war während des gesamten Aufenthalts herausragend – egal ob es um Tipps für Ausflüge oder kleine Anliegen ging, sie waren stets zur Stelle und haben sich mit großer Freude um unser Wohl gekümmert. So eine Gastfreundschaft findet man selten!Das Haus selbst ist ein absolutes Juwel. Es ist nicht nur wunderschön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sondern auch unglaublich geräumig. Wir hatten mehr als genug Platz, um uns auszubreiten und richtig wohlzufühlen. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns die üppige Ausstattung: Es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt! Von der Küche über die Bäder bis hin zu den Wohnbereichen – alles war hochwertig, modern und bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht. Man merkt, dass hier mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt an alles gedacht wurde, was einen entspannten Urlaub ausmacht.Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können dieses Ferienhaus jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einer komfortablen, stilvollen Unterkunft mit außergewöhnlichen Gastgebern ist. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

We had an unforgettable and truly relaxing stay at the idyllic Valley's Ground house. It ticked all our boxes: The house is new - the exterior and interior design as well as the appliances are modern. The bedrooms, the combined living room/dining room and kitchen are spacious; having two bathrooms (one is an ensuite bathroom) enhanced our comfort. The beds were very comfy (we slept like babies). The living area and both bedrooms have a large glass front with a great view onto the forest on the other side of the valley. The house with its natural surroundings incl. the sounds of the birds and the faint mumbling of the creek below, provides a very restful atmosphere… you would not think that you were on the periphery of a small town! The overall location is great: The house is serenely tucked away in an idyllic location yet shops and restaurants are within short driving distance; Porto and Coimbra are about a one-hour drive away whilst it takes approx. 40-45 minutes to go to the beaches in Aveiro by car. To us, Valley's Ground house is a piece of paradise where we could forget the daily stress! The pool was another great plus, especially on very warm days! There is also a good selection of the beautiful hiking routes nearby. Finally, we would like to thank the owners who are both lovely and incredibly kind - we couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. We enjoyed every single moment in their idyllic and comfortable holiday home and had a wonderful stay in Sever do Vouga!
