This nature house is actually a spacious and detached country house, partly built in granite, on a wine estate, locally known for its excellent vinho verde. A private entrance and an enclosed garden with pool offers you all the peace and privacy you need. The house has unobstructed views as far as Spain! You enter the house through the kitchen. Via a staircase you reach the spacious living room with comfortable sofas and a cozy fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is the TV room with windows all around, beautiful light and views. The living room opens onto a porch that leads you by stairs to the garden and private pool. The large kitchen is equipped with all appliances and has doors to the terrace with large dining table. Through a long corridor with separate toilet you reach the three spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and fitted wardrobes. All bedrooms have private access to the spacious garden and large swimming pool through garden doors.

Nature and surroundings

The location, climate and environment of the nature house lend themselves perfectly to an active vacation. Close to the river Lima (at 400 meters), where you can walk and bike on the ecovia (car-free), close to the Peneda-Geres National Park and the mountains (about 20 minutes drive) and just a small half hour drive from the ocean with spacious beaches. Along the Lima River many birds can be seen, trout swim (fishing is possible) and otters are also regularly spotted. Some suggestions for the many outdoor activities available here: Canoeing on the Lima River (or one of the many other rivers in northern Portugal), mountain biking on the ecovias or in the green hills and mountains, fishing (trout in the Lima), hiking (on the ecovias in the natural parks or in the many historic, authentic cities nearby), wine tasting (the Minho region is home to the famous Vinho Verde) or kitesurfing on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean (or in one of the coves for a quiet start).

    House in a rural village surrounded by vineyards and with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. Peace and quiet.

    The Casa Alpendre was a wonderful place for us! There was really everything we needed. The house is very spacious, which we perceived as a luxury. Even in rainy weather, which we had a lot, we could play or read or dance in the living-room or watch videos in the video-room! The kitchen is great, spacious, light and very well equipped! Many activities outside could be reached easily by car. The short walk to the little village Gandra, where the next supermarket an some cafes are, was also very nice! When we arrived it was raining a lot, so the pool turned green. We could allways have a nice swim though. During our stay the very nice housekeeper Manuel managed the water. Our 8 year old son learnd somethibng about chemistry by seeinbg how the water turned bluer and clearer every day :-). Manuel was a great help, we could ask him everything!

    The house is a real nature house, a rural nature house! The area is quiet, you can hear lots of birds sing. And sometimes you hear the sounds of the Quinta de Luou and you can see how they work with the wine. The house and the garden are a great place to relax, far away from any stress.

    Lovely house for a family with 3 children, much larger than we expected. Perfect beds in spacious bedrooms each with its own bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and a cozy living room with fireplace, nice sofas and chairs and reading light. The pool was so tempting that my daughter jumped in every afternoon even though the weather was far too cold for it. Helpful information about the house and the surrounding area was available.
