Vineyards Cerco dos Cerrados - Cabeceiras de Basto, Cavez

A small paradise: tradition combines with contemporaneity, peace & nature.
Typical example of rural construction of the Minho of the nineteenth century, this villa is located in the region of Braga.
Integrated in an old farmhouse, which has fields, vineyards and a pine forest distributed over an area of more than 6000 m2, it offers visitors privacy and a privileged atmosphere for relaxation.
This sunny and quiet champagne house is fully equipped.
It has a private swimming pool with a beautiful panoramic view of the Tâmega. The surroundings where the pool is very private and allows naturism. Its location gives it a magnificent view of the countryside.

The pool house has two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and veranda with an exclusive wooden table for guests.
Upon booking the main house, the pool house may be used as well.

The Portuguese atmosphere and the peaceful location ensure that you will have a carefree vacation, far away from the busy city centers.
The rustic furnishings, traditional materials and ornate carpets take you back to the time when a rich farmer used to live here. You can also see it on the old stairs, walls and porches, made of large natural stones.
The vacation home is surrounded by trees, which provide plenty of shade on hot summer days. If the heat becomes unbearable, take a dip in the swimming pool while enjoying the beautiful panorama.
Moreover, you can visit many cities of culture in this region, such as Fafe, Guimarães, Braga, Porto, Amarante, Chaves (between 30 min to 60 min by car). In the meadow of the Douro region where the famous Port Wine is produced, this refuge in a small village on the banks of the river Tâmega is surrounded by the nature of the forest and the vineyards of the country. It is ideal for families looking for a restful vacation.
In the area we produce the "vinho verde". It certainly deserves a tasting.
If you like festivals and the outdoors then the month of June is ideal. If you like wine tasting and harvesting activities, then the month of May, June, September or October is the best.
We are waiting for you and we know you will love it!
Important note: A deposit of 300 euros is to be returned directly on arrival.

A wonderful peaceful, vineyard based holiday
We stayed for two weeks at the end of September. We expected mixed weather and that is what we had. The first week was cloudy but warm which gave us a chance to explore local cities like Braga and Guimaraes. The second week we had glorious sunshine and made the most of the swimming pool. The house has a lot of character with living accommodation over two floors with a spiral staircase, and the outside terrace or balcony was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunset. As someone in another review commented, the pool is quite a walk from the house down steps and cobblestone paths, and so it may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. However when you get there the pool is lovely. Having the pool house with the extra fridge, dishwasher etc was ideal for relaxed lunches. We could imagine teenagers using the two bedrooms in the pool house to get away from their parents - and vice versa! The vino verde from the vineyard was delicious! We were fortunate enough to be there during the vine harvest and were invited to join in harvesting the grapes. For us it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Exceptional location, beautiful villa, stunning views
How can you not like a villa in a vineyard! The villa was exactly as described, plenty of space and clean. The kitchen had a very good range of utensils and was of a good size, the rooms were all good, and although there was no air conditioning that did not matter, there was a lovely cool breeze (the lack of mosquitos meant the windows could be left open). Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get away, relax in a beautiful location, the pool with the kiwi trees providing shade, the veranda on the first floor with breath-taking valley views, what more could you ask

A beautiful retreat
The Villa itself is very large with a lovely balcony overlooking the vineyards and the river. The swimming pool was heaven in the heat, and has an even better view across the valley. The setting is perfect for those who have car use and want something in the heart of the countryside. Nearest facilities are only a short drive away. The Vinho Verde they produce at the family vineyards that surround the villa is very nice too!

Stay with multigenerational family
Our group of 6 (ages ranging from 1 to 60 year old) stayed for 4 days during a heat wave. Geraldine was extremely helpful and available for any questions, making the check in process very easy. The house, as advertised, does not have ac, and we visited during a heat wave so the bedrooms were a little hot until the cold of the night set in. Perhaps some fans would help bring some of the coolness in for the very hot nights, even though these temperatures are usually for the country. The pool and views were amazing and we loved the number of available bathrooms for such a big group. Keep in mind that the access to the pool is very steep, so difficult for older guest and well as kids. Only suggestion would be to add a high chair for kids as there was a crib. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Lovely house in fabulous location
This lovely granite house is in a fabulous location with spectacular views across the vineyard, down to the River Tamega and the valley beyond. The house was cool even when it was hot outside. The pool area was beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was a joy to swim in to cool down. We enjoyed sitting on the upstairs verandah at the end of the day, with a glass of vinho verde from the vineyard, watching the sun go down. We ate at several local restaurants and enjoyed the typical Portuguese dishes with a glass of wine at very reasonable prices. We found it an interesting area to explore and were delighted to come across small villages were time appeared to have stood still. Our ensuite rooms were clean and comfortable and the house was well equipped for the six of us. I would recommend staying here to discover a little of the real Portugal.

Tranquility
Large, traditional house set in the grounds of a vineyard, totally secluded. Property was spotlessly clean on arrival and well equipped. Owners very friendly and quick to respond to queries. Comfortable bedrooms all en-suite. Large reception rooms, however we spent most of our time eating outside or sitting on the veranda surrounding the house. Pool area set away from the house, however it is very pretty and large with plenty of space to sit or for kids to play. 10 minutes drive from nearest town with supermarkets, cafes etc and close to larger roads making visits to larger towns such as Guimaraes, Braga & Chaves very easy. Straightforward drive from Porto Airport. Would thoroughly recommend.

A beautiful haven
The villa is located on the upper side of a valley overlooking the River Tamega and extensive vineyards - the owners produce a very drinkable Vinho Verde and at just 3 Euros a bottle!!! The location is very peaceful. There's a terrace for breakfast and a first floor balcony for after dinner drinks and a clear sky full of stars. The four of us thought it one of the best villas we've ever stayed in, very well equipped and everything working properly . The villa was spotlessly clean. In the courtyard there is a fresh water spring, we stopped buying bottled water on day 2 and drank the spring water. The swimming pool is very well maintained and has a wonderful panoramic view. We would seriously consider returning here in the next few years. But maybe next time for 2 weeks. Thank-you Helena and Juliana!

Great place to stay and relax!
A bit difficult to find for the first time, though it is immediately off of the N206. Just be sure to spell it right -- e.g. Vila Franca and not Villa only one "l"). Great swimming pool and lovely old stone house. Helena and Geraldine could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended. Rick and Joanne Soued, Phoenix, AZ USA
