We had a wonderful stay at Casa da Costa! The villa is beautiful, modern, and exceptionally clean, and the views from the property are absolutely stunning. The peaceful mountain setting made it the perfect place to relax and explore northern Portugal.We especially appreciated Maria meeting us upon our arrival. This was our first trip to Portugal, and navigating the roads and locating properties in the small mountain villages can be a bit challenging at first. Her warm welcome made us feel immediately at ease. The homemade cake she left for us was a thoughtful touch and absolutely delicious. It was clear that a great deal of care had gone into preparing the home for our stay.The location was ideal for exploring Peneda-Gerês National Park. We enjoyed several beautiful hikes, visited charming villages, and experienced some of the most spectacular scenery of our trip. After a day of hiking, it was wonderful to return to such a comfortable and peaceful home.We highly recommend Casa da Costa to anyone looking for a relaxing stay surrounded by nature while still enjoying modern comforts. We would gladly stay here again and hope to return someday.
