Countryside Retreat for Groups & Families near Ponte de Lima and Gerês

Outside, the fenced garden is made for long, lazy days: a barbecue with all utensils, sun loungers, a hammock, a parasol, a tree swing for the kids, and a small natural spring-water pool to cool off in summer. There is a terrace for slow breakfasts and private parking on site.
