The Nook - Harmonious and Welcoming

Recanto is a completely new small villa, decorated and equipped with comfort and well-being in mind for those seeking rest and knowledge of this fantastic region, located between the Douro and Tâmega rivers. This region stands out for its landscape beauty (Douro Vineyards and Paiva Walkways), its rich heritage (Romanesque Route) and its renowned gastronomy.
The location of O 'Recanto allows a close and direct experience with the friendly people of the small town of Maureles, which belongs to Marco de Canaveses.
This house has parking garage with direct access to the interior of the house. Occupying up to 6 people (4 adults + 2 children), it offers 2 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TV, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms. It also has a nice outdoor garden area with swimming pool. Here you can sunbathe, cool off and have a nice meal.
The excellent location of O Recanto, 9 km from the A4 and A11 highways, allows you to be within walking distance and minutes from major cities such as Porto, Guimarães, Penafiel and Amarante. Marco's train station is 9 km (Porto - Pocinho line) from the guest house and 58 km from Porto International Airport.
Recanto is also inserted in the demarcated region of green wines, so you can enjoy the beautiful vineyards up close and taste the excellent wines of the Marco Wine Route.

Wonderful stay in Duoro Valley
What a wonderful experience at this beautiful home. The house was so comfortable with every amenity you need. Everything was so clean and the pool was amazing. Our communication with Maria was always prompt and she left us with helpful suggestions on restaurants and tourist attractions Sad we had such a short time here, next time we’ll stay longer. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to come to the area

ALMOST DUORO VALLEY
We had some trouble finding the home but were prepared for it, and once we arrived, we loved the stay. They were super friendly hosts, and with Google interpreting, all went smoothly. The spectacular Duoro River valley was a great place to visit on our way South to Coimbra. Two adult couples... plenty of privacy.

Beautiful house in a small town in the country
The house is very well equipped and finished at a very high level. Could use some grill tools, but other than that was very well fitted out. No major attractions really close by, but 45-60 minutes from a number of key sites: Porto, Guimaraes, Braga, and the Douro Valley. We also did a canyoning experience up in the Peneda Geres park which was a lot of fun. Beautiful pool and outdoor eating area. Maria was great to work with and really made sure we were having a good stay. Favorite restaurant of our stay was Republica do Polvo (octopus) in Guimaraes. Highly recommend.

Fantastisch.
Het is fantastisch mooi huis, grote vertrekken en een mooie patio met een lekker zwembad. De eigenaars hebben smaak en laten dat zien in de inrichting van het huis. Pure gezelligheid. Maria, de host, is goed bereikbaar en geeft goede adviezen voor een aangenaam verblijf.

Heel fijn, schoon en modern huis.
Een heerlijk huis en van alle gemakken voorzien. Geweldig ontvangst, geen probleem om eerder in te checken en/of iets later uit te checken. Eigenaresse erg vriendelijk, vraagt regelmatig of alles (nog) naar wens is. Een aanrader als je van rust houdt, het ligt in een klein dorpje waar je tussen de locals zit!
