3 bedroom farmhouse with 3m splash pool, sleeps 6/8, pretty views, Arganil 2 km

Charming house, very clean and well equipped. The small pool is perfect for toddlers that don’t know/are learning how to swim! Our daughter loved it! Wonderful setting in great location! Jane is the best! She is the sweetest and most helpful host! I totally recommend staying in casa de Alagoa! We had such relaxing days, I will definitely would like to come back with my family and/or friends :)

Wonderful house, great adventure experience.

Jane is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything (and more) that we needed throughout our stay. The house is really large and comfortable with lots of lovely touches to make it feel really homely. The kitchen is huge and is very well stocked with even all of the basic food items provided. The living space is also big and very comfortable. We were using the log burner and kept very cosy throughout our 5 weeks stay over November and December. Upstairs there are 2 bathrooms, one is an ensuite to the master bedroom which also has a large sunny balcony. There are another 2 lovely bedrooms. Outside is a large sunny patio and garden area with outdoor furniture and a barbecue. The location is rural and beautiful. We walked to the shops in Arganil which took about 20 minutes. There are good size supermarkets and lots of nice coffee shops and a very good bakery too. Around the area are so many great places to visit. I would particularly recommend Fraga da Pena which is a series of beautiful pools and waterfalls but Jane has a very detailed information pack at the cottage with everything you might need to know. I would definitely recommend staying here if you like mountains, being in nature and the more authentic Portugal, off the main tourist agenda but plenty to do and see.

The house is well renovated, quite specious and clean. It is set in a beautiful rural area among vineyards and orange orchards. A nice river beach is quite close and the area is full of great places to visit such as historical monuments and natural reserves. We spent a week there having great fun discovering the neighbourhood and it was definitely not enough! We will be back some day!

A lovely house that had been recently renovated and was absolutely charming with everything that we needed for our 2 week stay. We spent a lot of our time at the various river beaches in the area and made good use of the BBQ in the garden. Definitely recommend for a family or group of friends.

We spent a week in Case de Alagoa and it was a perfect retreat! An old stylishly refurbished house in an unspoilt quiet surrunding set among the orchards and vinyards. It is a great place to relax and also a perfect location for explorig the area and the centre of Portugal. The house is equiped with everything you may need and Jane is a great host, willing to help with everything. Her directions are so gret that we managed to find the house at 1 am! She also prepared a great booklet about what to do and where to go around the place which is really helpful if you don't speak Portuguese! Thanks Jane once again for everything, we will definitely come back some day!!!
