Casa do Caminho do Monte - Hill Cottage for Relax

There are no words to describe the feelings that emerge when you enter this cottage and look over the valley ... The astonishing view that seems to have no end, the uppers and downs of the land, a mix of high mountains and rural areas with vineyards and corn fields, the clean air that almost hurts the ones that are used to a city lifestyle ... This is a truly special place that we are pleased to share with the ones that feel nature and rural life as deeply as we do!

This special and unique rural cottage is placed in a the upper part of a small village of Arcos de Valdevez! The place was built so that it seems truly integrated in the landscape, with local materials, mostly wood and stone. Mostly, the view over the valley makes you never wanting to leave ...

The house has two floors:
- On the 1st floor, you can gather with family and friends in a lovely open space area with living, dining room and a very well eqquipped kitchen, as well as a wc. There you will also find two doors that leads you to the front balcony and the stairs that goes up to the bedrooms.
- On the 2nd floor, relax and restore energies in one of our three bedrooms (and two complete bathrooms). Two of them have direct access to the upper garden area, one to the pool area and the other to a garden with fruit trees and relaxation places!
Confort and detail are the watchwords of our interior spaces.

Outside, enjoy the balcony area with a barbecue, the garden that surrounds the house and the amazing pool with view over the valley! There are also several parking spaces.
