Semi-detached house with garden, directly at reservoir
|
The reservoir of Caniçada (almost 700 hectares) is at the border of the Serra da Cabreira and the Serra do Gerês on the North side. For those who seek recreation by or on the water, alternating with visits to the Portuguese national park Peneda-Gerês, this is an ideal place. By the edge of the lake, just outside the village of Vilar da Veiga, stands Casa Barbara. It is the last of a small group of houses reached by a shared pathway (± 50 mts.). The house is not very large, but it offers a pleasant stay for 3 people or a family with 2 children. In front is a well-tended garden with direct access to the lake. The terrace, overgrown with vines, is without doubt a beautiful spot, offering lovely views over the water to the mountains opposite. At the side of the house is a small patio with a barbecue. Past Vilar da Veiga it is only a few kilometers to the spa of Caldas do Gerês, where you find an information centre of the national park. They provide information on flora and fauna of the park, archeological finds (among which the roman road that once lead from the city of Braga to Rome), walking routes, etc. The owner of Casa Barbara lets out canoes, pedaloes, and motor boats. He can also help out if you want to (learn to) waterski or make a guided tour with a Landrover through the park. There are several restaurants and cafés within 2 minutes walk. Shops you can find in Rio Caldo (3 kms) and Vieira do Minho (15 kms). In Vieira the weekly market is on Monday. The distance to Braga is about 40 kms. |
