By Gwynne on 15-Jun-2025It's hard to say how much we all enjoyed our time at Casa Amarela. A stunning quiet location to explore the area from. We were a group friends with children and it was perfect. The villa is so comfortable, clean and a great space. The games room was a big hit with the older kids. The pool is lovingly maintained. The views from both the pool and villa are so beautiful. The gardens and various fruit trees, bird and frog song just added to the whole experience. And above all our host Miguel could not have been kinder.

Hello Gwynne, Thank you so much for your kind comments. We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, Miguel
Fantastic family house and owner.
By Ed Shoebridge on 10-Aug-2024We had a fantastic holiday. There were 11 of us and the house was perfect with its large open plan areas, huge games room, beautiful pool, amazing views and excellent bbq. Although in a very quiet rural area you could walk to a little local cafe and supermarket in 5 mins with bigger supermarkets a 10min drive away. On top of this the owner Miguel was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had even booking a restaurant for us on one occasion. In addition. I’d also strongly recommend the boat trip with his brother Jorge in Porto, a real highlight of the holiday. We would definitely come back.

Hello Edward, Thank you very much for your comments. We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. Miguel
We had a great stay
By Nikki on 18-Jun-2023We had a great stay at Miguel''s villa. It is beautiful here. The villa was clean and spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. The pool gets the sun all day. The views are incredible. Miguel was very helpful and friendly and easy to get in touch with. You do need a car I think, as public transport wasn''t great, but it is only a half hour drive into Porto if you have one and not far from some beautiful fluvial beaches and the national park. We had a great stay and will be happy to come stay again.
We had an amazing stay
By Vivien on 05-Jun-2023We had an amazing stay at Miguel''s villa. The villa offers lots of space, even on rainy days. In the basement there is a ping pong table, foosball and pool table. The six bedrooms are distributed on two floors, have air conditioning and four of them have their own bathroom. The two bedrooms on the top floor share a bath. The pool is filled with salt water, has a diving board and sunbeds are distributed at the edge. Miguel was always within easy reach, gave us tips for the area and made every additional wish (e.g. earlier check-in) possible for us. A great host! You can drive to Porto in about 30 minutes, but there are also good restaurants and shopping options nearby. We can fully recommend the place: it was clean, spacious and just beautiful!
Wonderful Serene Family Holiday
By James C. on 16-Oct-2015We made out booking online from Australia having never visited Portugal before and I must say, much to our relief, we could not have made a better choice! We had an absolutely wonderful time here, the property offers everything you could want from ample accommodation, plenty of activities for the kids and space to stretch there legs and enjoy the outdoors! The owners of the property could not have been more accommodating and helpful both in person and with the information they provided about the local area! We loved the secluded and private nature of the home that also had excellent proximity to shopping and restaurants as well as access to Oporto for day trips. The kids loved the fruit bush's and tree's and spent hours foraging for figs, apples, grapes and berries. I could not speak more highly of the property for families and for groups of friends there are so many positives it is impossible to list them all and nothing to criticise... hopefully we will go back one day!!
A little bit of Heaven.
By Ian McIntosh on 05-Jun-2016I booked this holiday over 12 months in advance and then worried if i had got it right-------.Boy did I, What a property.!!!! The photo's on the website do not do it justice.The whole farmhouse-kitchen,lounge, air conditioned bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms were clean and had everything you could need. Add a super pool,a very large games room and a beautiful and peaceful location with 2 BBQ area's-what more could you want.? It is a bit off the the beaten track so a car is a good idea to do the shopping. 9 adults and 5 children were on this holiday and not one complaint. The owners welcomed us and were there if you needed any information. Would I recommend it, yes without hesitation. Thank you Miguel and Oscar I really hope to see you again.Ian McIntosh (Manchester England)
