.The house
A family house in the green Minho
It's a family house in Gondar, a rural parish of Vila Nova de Cerveira, surrounded by the green of the Alto Minho. Three bedrooms — two doubles and a third with a bunk bed —, a kitchen, and a living room with a pellet stove for cool evenings.
It sleeps up to six, and the third bedroom also has a sofa bed meant for children. Entry is self-service, with your own door code, from 3pm.
.The patio
The pool is all yours
Outside there's a patio and a pool that belongs to whoever is staying — nobody else's schedules, nothing shared.
And the house doesn't close with the summer: the pellet stove lit and the green Minho all around make it a base for the whole year.

Between the Minho river and Galicia
The house is twelve minutes from the centre of Vila Nova de Cerveira, the Alto Minho's town of the arts, and fifteen from the river at Lenta beach. Spain is over the Friendship Bridge, fourteen minutes away.
Everything here runs on short roads: Valença and Tui in about twenty minutes, Caminha in little more, Vigo in forty. For a full day in the hills, the Mezio gate of the Peneda-Gerês National Park is an hour's drive.
