Book a Fafe Cottage

"This is the second time we stay at this beautiful place. Great location, comfortable rooms, good food, and most importantly amazing staff that always go the extra mile to make your stay a special one. Special thanks go to Mr. José Mendez who always makes sure that all guests are having a wonderful time. Furthermore, the swimming pool is very nice and heated, and we really enjoyed the mini-golf and the little steam next to it. "

"If you want a relaxing natural Life is the way to go"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. A well equipped house and the fresh water pool was a delight. The views are lovely. Arie was a great host (don't forget to ask for directions). A great getaway location with easy access (30 mins by car) to Beaches, Porto, Amarante, River Duoro etc. There is much to do in the area: sight seeing, walking, riding bikes, train ride, swimming in the sea and rivers. Everyone we came across was very friendly. We'd love to come back!"

"Excelente"

"Fomos acolhidos pela dona Arminda e o senhor Antonio, pessoas muito simpaticas. Fomos muito bem acolhidos. A casa onde nos ficamos se situava no rês do chao. Pois é uma casa onde pode haver outra reserva nas mesmas datas. Mas os espaços sao totalmente independentes. A casa é muito bem equipada, limpinha e fresquinha. Os equipamentos exteriores sao excelentes (piscina e churrasqueira 5 estrelas). O unico premonor que nos incomodou foi de estar um cao a solta que nao estava descrito na descriçao...

"We fell in love with "Casa Guardiao do Castelo! Amazingly beautiful place, a pool to die for, a castle in your backyard, fresh pastries from the baker man delivered daily, vinyard views, cobblestone roads and stone structures dating back to the 1300's. Josea was a wonderful host, always there when we needed him, a delightful man with a vision for this quaint little village. Our Casa was an extension of the original stonework with wooden beams, a castle wall around the pool with the most unique...

"We received fantastic directions to this serene house nestled in the hills near the Douro River. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the owners, who took pride in showcasing their beautiful home. The well-equipped kitchen became our hub for preparing both hearty breakfasts and delightful dinners. The wood stove in the living room added a touch of warmth to our evenings, creating an inviting ambiance. For added comfort, portable radiators were thoughtfully placed in every room. We even had...

"Lovely spacious villa with plenty of room for 10-12 people, and lots of dining and sitting space inside, and outdoor space. It was very warm during our stay, and as the villa doesn't have air conditioning it did get warm inside. Some more fans would be useful, as opening windows does increase outside noise. Kitchen is good with a very large fridge/freezer. The only downsides are the lack of a conventional oven and kettle. The location is an easy drive into Braga centre, with bus stop's very...

"A little tropical paradise. Perfect setting next to the water and total seclusion at bottom of valley. There was no-one staying in the second property by the water but don't think it would have changed our opinion. Accommodation was more than adequate and the outdoor kitchen area had everything you'd need. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and the son was our readily available interpreter. We were welcomed with the wine they make on the land and a simple breakfast was supplied each morning at...

"Fabulous for chillout time at the end of a day of sightseeing "

"A luxurious, spacious, well equipped apartment in characterful building. Beautiful swimming pool and outdoor kitchen and eating area. Views from the property are incredible. The hosts were charming and very friendly and we had our complete privacy. Our family loved this property and really hope to return."

"The total setting, innside-outside is a perfect get together place for up to 16 people. The combination of stone and dark wood, tails and private furnitures. The owner gives you a spacious private home with tons of Portuguese charm. We where four families with children, all related and loved every minute of a fantastic week. Everywhere you look, close or far, it is all beautiful landscape or charming houses. The pool is good for a long swim and dives. The outdoor barbecue kitchen ads to the...

"Casa amplia de 3 habitaciones. La estancia ha sido perfecta"

"Beautiful property"

"Stayed for 5 days with my son and one of his friends while attending a competition in Braga. Fit, finish and cleanliness of the villa were all excellent, the gardens were immaculate and the pool was large enough for two teenage boys not to feel constrained. Easy to keep in contact with Graciete the owner by WhatsApp, who also owned the adjacent restaurant . Large terrace at the front of the property all behind electric gates made it safe and secure. The villa is one of two on site and so the...

"Awesome Place. We had a blast. The house was very clean and organised. The place is just a Dream and the weather played with. Both House holder and the Owner were 5 stars. We will get back soon!"

"Great place. Wonderfully decorated with robin’s egg blue trim, sturdy and functional furnishings. Just beautiful, the way the light streams in from the shuttered windows. Tranquil (albeit with country sounds like roosters). Peaceful. It is easy to walk into town, either along a hiking trail or along the highway, which has a sidewalk after a while. Shops, restaurants, cafe in town. So much to explore in the area. Hosts were gracious and quick to respond to all questions. We stayed 9 days and it...

"Nous avons eu très froid, le chauffage ne fonctionnait pas, ni la climatisation pour chauffer. Le prix devrait être revu quand le temps ne s’y prête pas non plus car nous n’avons pas profité de la piscine ou du jardin. J’attends un geste commercial en retour à la vue de notre déception. Merci Cordialement"

"Rooms were very modern and attractive. The rainhead shower was excellent. The kitchen was handy. The room had a safe but the safe wasn't bolted to anything, thus we didn't feel if was useful. Tip: be sure to choose a room on the top floor so you don't get the sounds of people walking around at 600am. The staff was very helpful. The location was perfect! "

"The building is old and needs renovations, the hallways have a bad smell."

"Great location and parking is at Braga Shopping. Staff is super helpful."
