Cottage Casita da Lavandeira

We had a really wonderful stay, a super vacation feeling. Waking up en enjoying the scenery and Village life. Garden is superb and hostess super friendly and helpfull

Beautiful place highly recommended

We had a fantastic holiday. Fatima was very welcoming - and thank you for the wine - it was our first taste of the vinha verde from the region. The accommodation was perfect. The gardens were lovely - very very pretty with great views from the property. We loved being able to pick and eat the fresh produce grown in the garden - tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, courgettes. The area is very pretty - lots of hills and river valleys and lots of things to do within an easy drive of the property. A lovely place to relax. Thank you Fatima.

Everything that was previously written about Casita da Lavandeira corresponds to reality and is by no means an exaggeration. This cottage is therefore an absolute must for people who love authenticity, nature and tranquility. A special word of thanks to Fatima and her family, who received us with such warmth and hospitality.

Everything perfect. Great host who showed us around property and gardens. Perfect location and views. Quality of accommodation and equipment first rate.

A nice house in a nice area. The arrival was fine.

The arrival went smoothly and we were received very hospitable. It is a great accommodation for those seeking tranquility and is located in a beautiful mountain setting.

On arrival we received a very warm welcome from Fatima. A very sweet woman who cares with all her heart of the beautiful jewel in the north of Portugal! The house and the garden really have everything that calls for a holiday - no swimming pool but that is no point at all! In the house is really everything that you need. And the garden ... heaven ... The tomatoes, zucchini, aubergines, peppers, herbs, ... everything at hand! And do not even feel like cooking then look at the menu list Fatima conjures up very tasty menus from her basket! At 10 km a range of restaurants and beautiful towns, the sea at 30 km and beautiful mountains and natural beauty 40-50 km away. Zaaallliiiggg just & lt3

Excellent reception, bottle of wine in the fridge, eggs and some vegetables for dinner and coffee for the next morning and a beautifully manicured garden!

Ask for the right position when using your mobile phone. You can get stuck. Go to Gondufe and then continue. Reception fine, nice people. Fatima is very friendly. We could harvest onions next to spiced snow peas. Fatima cooks well. Order once.

arrival Very good explanation and tour. very kindly received from the verhuurders.accommodation everything and even more what we expect ideal for 2 persons cozy fireplace. seat to chill out and beautiful garden and roof terrace to enjoy the beautiful surroundings outside. environment ideal in the cottage to relax and a city near with culture and nature and plenty of beautiful nature everywhere in the area. also many cities known and less known for us a 10 on 10.PS price quality. Quality time certainly in order but to the standards here in Portugal it can be cheaper but I understand.

Without a doubt our best holiday so far. We can only tell you what all the comments told us. Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings, fully equipped with everything you need. Large and beautiful garden with fresh vegetables for picking out. Every morning, fresh bread is served at a (very) soft price as the baker walks. This is sufficient enough to go here and have a top holiday, but the biggest plume is actually for Fatima and her family. With her nice mix of French and Portuguese with a word English this time, this perfect hostess does everything she can to help you and help her wherever she can. She can also boil amazingly. We also had the pleasure of getting to know her family, all the wonderful people we will never forget. Obrigada!

Arrival was well taken care of! We arrived late, but that turned out to be no problem. Furthermore, good bed, good kitchen and beautiful views!

Welcoming welcome. Beautiful accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

Highly situated fine house with two terraces, one of which has a beautiful view of the valley, with a beautifully landscaped and well-groomed garden with trees, bushes and flowers of about 100 by 15 meters, a true lush garden.

What should we add? We can only count on all the loving reviews of our predecessors. We also had 2 super weeks in Gondufe.

If you have any previous (mostly very positive) reviews see for this house, do you think this should be covered (we have a lifetime of experience in renting apartments). Nothing could be further from the truth. If we could give the number 11 than we did. This experience (4 weeks) has everything we experienced surpassed in 35 years. So much for the quaintness of the house, the garden (with include lemon and orange trees, herb and vegetable garden, pond), the fire (early spring), the peace, the warmth of the Portuguese population. And certainly not least its outstanding hospitality and alertness of Fatima and Juan. Much heat you do not like possible. Something we may also experience with their four children. Use them as an example for the Portuguese youth, which constitute the future, Portugal has a nice view !!! And if you typically Portuguese want to eat, do not hesitate to make use of Fatima 's cooking (there is a menu in this home with the dishes you bets count). Perhaps reason the kitchen of the house really all cooking is feature. So completely did I do this (am cooking fanatic) never experienced. it was just perfect. Finally, it is still worth noting that there was nothing that we could qualify as less good. just the contrary. Outside we have described, we were still surprised with fresh eggs, mandarin oranges, potatoes and onions. the way was provided towels, bedding and wood for the fireplace was unprecedented. A holiday here will enrich your life!

We were warmly welcomed by Fatima. The cottage is very nice and everything you need is available. The house is situated high in the mountains and you have a wonderful view of the valley and on the higher peaks.

Warm welcome with fresh eggs and a bottle of wine, fine house with nice garden and Fatima can cook

We were welcomed very friendly. It is a very cozy and just pass cottage. Fully equipped. Really cared. The lady who gave the key can also cook a meal. Very tasty. The cottage is a great place to enjoy and visit the area. We have enjoyed 14 days terribly. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the large garden with several zitmogelijkheden.Fatima is a very hospitable host. There is also a vegetable garden where we have full use of it. On Sun 'n Located 10 km Ponte de Lima, a very pleasant town.

Nice house, with great garden, great views and very hospitable owners. Good hiking in the nearby area (ecovia) and plenty of nice places and attractions within a radius of 1 hour. Sea, mountains, nature, everything is here. For example, Viano do Castelo, Braga and Porto. And of course Ponte de Lima at 15 minutes, which also good supermarkets and the like are available. If desired, fresh pastries every morning.

A fully furnished house in a stunning setting, with a great view, really everything is there, a great welcome by the hostess and her husband. Depending on the season you can make use of the garden where you can find really everything, Also in the area there are two large supermarkets.

More than worth exceptionally friendly and hospitable owners. Recommended !

fantastic everything and I mean everything was absolutely great, location, king bed, eat from the garden you can take what you want, fruit vegetables, potatoes, onion, garlic, really the only thing you have to buy is meat or fish for the meal, ideal , beautiful view over the valley, can the whole week did not indicate a minus point, above expectations

A beautiful little house whose cleanliness is exemplary, full of freshness and greenery (beautiful garden), near Ponte de Lima and Viana Castello.Il must emphasize the kindness and generosity of our host at Fatima Gondufe and the

It is a place where you feel right at home. Lovely garden to relax and a vegetable garden where you can use. Fresher niet.De extra service of Fatima is a blessing. Eating out in your own home with dinner service of Fatima. All in all a place to return.

Cottage is very nice, has a nice garden and a beautiful location. Fatima is an excellent host, very welcoming and a great cook. Every morning you can have it delivered fresh rolls. Really a must to book.

Gondufe is a fantastic place with a beautiful view obver the valley of the Rio lima.Fatima the host is someone who you really want to make to your liking and it does its very good.This is truly a place to rest and culture together alternating, that balance is so good that you really do not want to go home.

Fatima our hostess is an example of kindness and humility and vriendelijkheid.Bij our arrival we met with eggs, wine, tomatoes, sandwiches and more. an example for all other homes, which often absolutely nothing.

We had a lovely time, the setting is beautiful and the cottage is cozy and nicely decorated. The garden is very beautiful and you may use the fruit of it. The area to discover about 50 km, this is really prachtig.Je comes to rest completely.

Relaxing holiday in a quiet and kind c is a beautiful place in the mountains losses for many small farm around

Great house, beautifully situated in the countryside. For tranquility and hikers. Fresh vegetables, bread rolls are brought to the door of the bakery and fantastic service from the owner

Very welcoming, poper, cozy

If you want to enjoy beautiful vacations longer than the book, not the Casita Lavandeira. You are sold off at once, you wlt not leave, you do not want different. The setting is beautiful, the view is unbeatable, and indeed the photo "s on the website correct all.

We enjoyed this simple but fully air-house, on a beautiful place. Wonderfully friendly reception, everything is possible, nothing is too much and delicious menu "at your disposal to really celebrate the holidays with lovingly prepared by Fatima. Here we will definitely come back.

We have a few weeks traveling through Portugal and stayed a week in Lavandeira. From there we explored a little Northern Portugal. Although not every day has been nice weather we have enjoyed ourselves. Rolls in a pouch on the fence, a lovely hostess who cooks for you, great walks through the hills and along the Lima, beautiful towns in the area and a nice cool evening the fireplace. Quite good.

To ride. Wonderful holiday despite the rain, good location, places like Porto, Braga, Guimaraes and good nature Geres We enjoyed the comfortable cabin so there you have it big is not always better. Totally top was surely the vegetable garden, delicious tomatoes, zucchini, melon fresh picked as on the table! And not to mention the friendly welcome on arrival!

We enjoyed the peace, the environment and the hospitality of the owner. The cottage is more than fully equipped. The garden around the house is a picture with many flowers, the pond (with frogs) and the vegetable garden is the delicious food. In short, an absolute must for people who love peace and nature.

This house is truly a topper. Idyllic location, large vegetable and ornamental garden (you have to buy a vegetable itself because you can use anything from the garden), stunning views and very cordial owners. The house is fully equipped, complete kitchen equipment, shiny clean and spacious. Fatima speaks French, German and her husband requested Fatima cooks a Portuguese meal they therefore will bring (course fee). Definitely worth to do. We have 2x let us pamper you. The environment is beautiful. Naturally Ponte de Lima, Porto and other beautiful places. We have also made a trip to Moncao the Minho. And everywhere tasty wine and port. An absolute must!

It was really a great place with very kind owners, who have serious positive attention to you. You're in a place with a great view, fully equipped.

5 stars for the Casita Leivandra r n * for the garden r n * for the view r n * for the beautiful cabin r n * for the delicious meal r n * for the hospitality

It will be very difficult to find that this exceeds a holiday for 2 people unless you without 't pool can not. Ideal location for oh-so many and the hospitality of Fatima and her family can have long no doubt. Not yet mentioned previously, the presence of WIFI quite convenient to get off depending on the weather to plan. Not that the weather gods were grouchy, but still prefer Porto, Braga, etc. visit at twenty degrees that first week, then at 30-35 ଌ the second. There were also the first two afternoons wet, cold and delicious read the crackling fireplace. We all get homesick!

We were in a very nice house with all modern features. R nThe owner Fatima is a very sweet and caring woman. Her husband Joao is very responsive and helpful. Fatima also provides, if you wish, delicious meals from its own wood oven. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. The view over the valley of Lima is fantastic. On the porch of the casita you sit ringside for that matter. The cottage is also a good base for visiting interesting cities of Porto, Guimaraes, Viana do Castelo. Ponte de Lima is a very nice and cozy place. You can also eat well. The only downside to our holiday was the weather.

Our Landlady, Fatima, would prepare and deliver any of the meals listed on the menu kept in the house. We had two, fish and chicken and they were delicious. A basket of essentials, milk, eggs vegetables etc were waiting for us in the kitchen, free of charge. Fatima and her son Felip were very friendly and welcoming. A lot of new roads have been built in this part of North Portugal and the absence of maps made driving very difficult.

We can only confirm what we ourselves already read here before we vertrokken.Het cottage is quiet, Fatima and her family very very helpful, and the vegetables from the garden taste great! The location is perfecht for all kinds of day trips, both to the coast as to nearby natuurgebied.De setting is stunning, overlooking the dal.Als I still minus one may call it, the chimney of the neighbors is at the height of the terrace giving you a bit of smoke is occasionally .. .

We were surprised with a warm and welcoming ontvangst.Het house and garden are a paradise, where we were literally the fruits plukken.Mooi situated with a wonderful view of the omgeving.Goede base for walks in nature (eg in the Peneda Geres the), visiting historic towns and cities, not to mention the coast with beautiful beaches.

Beautiful, complete, good price / quality ratio!

A real winner. The hospitality of Fatima and her family knows no bounds. It is not difficult to feel at home. The location is beautiful and a good base for excursions. For us, a great holiday where we remember with great pleasure.

very good home stay a great thank you

Lovely house with great garden in very quiet area. Portuguese landlords are very vriendelijk.Uitstekende base for cultural excursions (Porto, Braga, Guimaraes etc. ..) and nature walks in the mountains or along rivers. Sea and beach + 50km.Kortom: recommended!

We highly recommend this holiday home to a couple who enjoy walking and nature in a very beautiful national park. The house is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. There is a fabulous garden where guests can relax and also are encouraged to use produce from the extensive vegetable patch. The owners live nearby and are warm, friendly, welcoming and helpful. Little extras added to our holiday, for example fresh bread delivered daily.

It was enjoying. Beautiful view. Full house. Clean. Very large garden. May still be a few tents. Blissful rest - after the local festivals. Walks of about 2 to 3 km to worry about little roads, goat paths etc. Delicious between forests, little fields and vineyards. Beautiful vistas. Nice clean water. On Monday the market Ponte de Lima. A must. Delicious capocino for € 1 = above the bridge Ponte de Barca. The cottage is in the village Gondufe Lamacaes. Unfortunately Hard to find. The very friendly and helpful landlord lives 500 meters away in Gonduge St Pedro. Great location for trips to the surroundings. For us it was three weeks enjoying

nice home clean and well kept garden owner very nice he speaks French very very correctly synpas.je recommend this house.

This small but beautiful house is really recommended. A beautiful garden and the nature around it is just fitting for those seeking relaxation.

Beautiful holiday cottage is in a quiet plek.het could use a facelift regarding the interior and the garden table and stoellen.een few extra screws in the bed does not hurt you can without noise omdraaien.eind August and early September, village / hamlet partying you hear sometimes fireworks / loud bangs, and music from the valley but that was not annoying rather nice because it part of their culture and before you go to Portugal, because if you are going to silence you can also go to the veluwe.Als you heading out you access to toll and ponte de lima / barca are fairly quickly from the road once you get the winding road from the cottage to the main road have had (+ / _ 10 min swing).

lovely house, everything included eraan.mooi village and friendly eigenaren.leuke garden surrounding it and the beaches are just over an hour drive ..... lots of nice villages to get through the rijden.Ponte Lima has many terraces and can eten.Fam you like. Crown Nieuwegein

Great house, great garden which we pleasantly vonden.Wat very nice, a really big bed.De owners are really nice, nice welcome with flowers, wine, fresh eitjes.Groenten you as from the garden. We loved it for the daily life of Gondulfe from the terrace to volgen.Vrouwen who work the land, cows and sheep crossing the road steken.Wij have a wonderful week with fantastic weer.Carol and Ans Vink

The best compliment is to be, we will be back next year!

Very nice situated house. Beautiful surroundings. What is difficult to vinden.Alles was present to a hairdryer. Very nice host. A must!

Enjoy a view where you do not get tired and calm and predictable rhythm of a small Portuguese village, the baker, the children going to school, the small group of sheep, the bell of a cow, birds singing, dogs barking and the sound of the bell from the village in the valley Many read and garden gescharreld, good food from fresh vegetables directly from the ground on your plate, fresh eggs ...... We could still go on. Reading, walking in the mountains and strolling through the streets of Ponte de Lima Ponte Barca, good food, cozy fireplace at the top or on the veranda. An absolute must for lovers of the "flat" country. Saskia and Niek

Great nice and cozy house with all the trimmings anything you could need hebben.Aankomst: very kindly received by the two owners. Fire wast created, electric blanket and firmly turned the electric heater for extra comfort there posted. We arrived on the first Christmas day and this was not even a problem. Lots of rain but this was not unpleasant, it's a very cozy home. Owners are right for you and pastries every morning to the fence make it even better. 10 for 1 euro and very tasty. Both of our pets were well for our sweet little dog a beautiful garden with grass REALLY was a true pampering. Kool picked from the garden with the potatoes from the barn and the onions and the garlic really super enjoyed. In a word cracking, and the language, you must you also want to change, because it's just too cute with hands and feet, and still well together chatting. We have a lot of fun had an absolute must for those couples who want to experience the real Portugal, and for those couples who want a little less traditional LIDL is reasonably close (10km)!

It was a holiday fantische, both accommodation and environment concerns, and the hospitality of the owners. Absolutely recommended. Agatha and Ineke.

We have just returned from our holiday in the holiday Casita da Lavandeira. We are very hospitable and the house is fully equipped and we therefore can take advantage. Absolutely superb and highly recommended by dear Fatima as home owner ....

A beautiful house in the mountains! A very welcoming Fatima that you immediately feel at home late with a flower on the table a bottle of white wine in the fridge. A house where tomatoes, peppers' s, potatoes and beans straight from the garden can get. The area has lots to see is.Kortom we have a great 2 weeks at Fatima and Juan had thank you! Obrigado and obrigadaInge and Jan Klijnsma, Delft

a cottage located so to come back and friendly people of the house owners and the Portuguese in general

This cottage is wonderful for 2 people. The light in the hills above Porto, but both Porto and the airport are easily bereikbaar.De owners, Fatima and Juan, are very sympathetic people. The kitchen is beautifully fine and the cottage has a small vegetable garden with delicious Pimentos. You can still use those of the owners. As the onions and garlic sympathetic hang to dry in the typical small gazebo. Juan em Fatima always ensure that there is enough dry wood for the fireplace, and get the stock in the gazebo like bijvullen.Het haardje creates a very cozy atmosphere. Gas, electricity and plumbing absolutely orde.In the neighboring village of San Martinho is a great authentic Portuguese restaurant "O Cunha" which is certainly worth a visit. They grilled fish and meat, and both are delicious. The price for 2 people including wine and water is in the region of 30 euros, which is very reasonable. Appetisers between 2 and 4 euros. Very nice vinho tinto maduro "Monserraz" for 7 euros per bottle. Espresso to 60 cent.Het cottage is in Gondufe, which in turn is located near Ponte Lima. On Sunday in Ponte Lima cozy rommelmarkt.Ook the national park, Peneda Geres, is an hour's easy to reach by wag

Small but really perfect house. Beautiful location. I have never enjoyed a holiday home so much

We stayed two weeks in the house and have us there felt perfectly at home. The cottage is well cared for and at a problem (changing the gas cylinder) is the manager immediately friendly and attentive ready. After a busy day with visits to various cities and numerous churches, it is good to come home in the tranquility of this beautiful house high above the valley we come back!

Great cottage with everything on it and in it. Welcoming hostess who welcomes you with a leaky bottle of wine and eiereen own chickens, at least that was the case with us last week. Gorgeous views, great kitchen with spacious sorted cutlery and cooking / bakeware. Nice sitting room and bedroom. Good bed. Tasty ligklapstoelen outside for sunbathing, in short just fine there. The environment is also very worthwhile, with the greatest advantage that you amidst extensive nature is wonderful for day trips and awesome beaches. The towns of Viana, Braga, Valenca are worth a visit and good food you can go to the restaurant of the village in the valley or in Ponte de Lima.

Pentecost May 11 2008Gisteren returned from northern Portugal. Homesick ... now al.We have had fantastic weeks in "Casita de Lavandera."

Lots and lots of pictures "taken, (we are amateur photographers) and therefore wanted to to this area.
