House and surroundingsCasa de São Miguel is situated just outside the hamlet by the same name, not far from the Caniçada reservoir. This villa was built some years ago by a family from Porto who wanted to enjoy the rural life. The comfort, the location, the entourage, all put together make this an ideal holiday accommodation.The house is completely and tastfully furbished. At the back, adjoining the kitchen, is a large patio which is a lovely place for a long summer evening. Beyond is the swimming pool, surrounded by a lawn and a lush garden. At the front is ample space for parking. Casa de São Miguel has 5 bedrooms, each for 2 people. You can choose how many rooms you want to use: 3, 4 or 5. The remaining bedrooms will be closed and not be let out to others, so you will always have the exclusive use of the rest of the house, the garden and the swimming pool! At the reservoir (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. In the village of Rio Caldo (6 km), at the “cross” of the reservoir, there are some shops, cafés and restaurants. More choice is to be found in Caldas do Gerês or Vieira do Minho (all facilities, ± 10 km). A baker passes the villa each morning. |
