Comfortable holiday home near lake
|
Casa do Cruzeiro stands just outside a hamlet called Faldrem, looking out on one of the arms of the Caniçada reservoir and the Serra do Gerês. It was built several years ago as a holiday retreat for a family from Porto, and it is very comfortable and tastfully furnished. Everything you need for a pleasant stay has been taken care of. From the terrace by the kitchen, and also from the living room and a large part of the garden, you have a wonderful view over the lake and the mountains opposite. Casa do Cruzeiro is divided into two parts, the main house with 3 bedrooms (sleeps 6), and a guest house on the lower floor (sleeps 2 or 3). Depending on the size of your party you can opt for just the main house, or for the whole of the accomodation. The guest house is not for rent separately. At the lake (about 700 hectares) are ample opportunities for water sports. You can hire canoes, jet ski’s, pedaloes or learn how to water ski. The lake is also the southern border of the national park Peneda-Gerês. In the spa village of Caldas do Gerês is an information centre. They provide information on the 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. There is a café and a small grocer’s at about 2 km from the villa. More choice is to be found in Vieira do Minho (15 km), there are all kinds of shops, restaurants, the post office, banks and a large weekly market. Also in Rio Caldo (6 km) you will find some shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the marina, boat rental and a tourist office. The distance to Braga is about 35 km. |
