House / Villa - Vieira do minho

We thoroughly recommend Quinta da Emigrante without any hesitation. For the three out of four of us (adults) this was our first visit to Portugal and the house could not have been more welcoming. The bedrooms were large, the kitchen well equipped and a snooker table featured among the furnishings. The TV was not working but that did not bother us one bit.

The outdoor grill was perfect for barbecues but the highlight of the villa grounds was the pool, which looked out on the distant hills. We enjoyed many sunsets after an evening swim.

Quinta da Emigrante is also a perfect jumping off point for excursions, especially to the remote splendour of the nearby Parque Nacional where we hiked. The baroque city of Braga is within easy reach and we spent a day rambling through Porto to the south. Viana do Castelo, on the coast at the mouth of the river Lima, is also worth a visit.

Maria and her family gave us a warm welcome on arrival which we greatly appreciated after a long journey from Lisbon!

We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing week here. The property is gorgeous and was more than big enough to accommodate our party of 7, which included 3 children.

Garden was well maintained and pool was inviting. This would've been a 5 star review if not for an issue with the pool which meant we were unable to use it as it brought on a rash for 4 out of 7 of us. That aside, the location was stunning and we found plenty to do in the surrounding areas that not being able to use the pool wasn't an issue... We may not have left the house otherwise!

The owners were lovely and quickly sent someone to look at the pool which was confirmed as fine. They provided lots of information on what to do in the area as well as recommendations for good places to eat and where best to shop.

Fully recommend! Biggest issue was that we only booked one week instead of 2!

We stayed here with our three children and had a great time. The house is huge, and includes a pool room which we used every night. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is plenty of storage. We particularly loved sitting outside for all our meals - the view over the pool across the valley is amazing, and it's a great spot for parents to chill in when their children are playing. There is a lot to do in the area - we loved Braga and Guimaraes and even went to the beach in Apulia. We also loved the fact this area isn't too touristy so you get a sense of the real Portugal. 100% recommended!

We loved our stay here, the house is fab, and the area just what we wanted. Only minor problem with the electrics after a storm, but nothing we couldn't deal with. Definitely recommend.
