Cottage a Santo Tirso

Nicola Regno Unito

It was perfect for our stay as we hired out the whole villa for about 10different families so it really suited our needs

Quinta das Leiras proved to be the perfect blissfully relaxing holiday we were after! It's set off a quiet, wooded road, on a steep hill with two adjacent apartments at the top (the other one was empty when we were there). Our apartment had an ensuite, kitchen area (oven, hob, toaster, microwave, crockery etc), parking on our doorstep and terrace with seating, with amazing views of Santa Tirso and west facing so we had great sunsets! Ana's attention to detail meant we had absolutely everything we needed. Further down the hill, there are chickens from which Ana kindly gave us some eggs and fruit trees of various kinds (Ana also gifted us some lemons from her trees, some cake, local bread and home-made wine). Further down, there's a swimming pool, tennis court, hammock, sun loungers, a seated swing, a basketball hoop, even a foosball table. We rarely encountered anyone else at Q de L and it felt like we had the place to ourselves although Ana was available to answer any queries we had. We enjoyed local restaurants (particularly Sabores do Monte), a quick pop to a beach (Praia de Memoria) after the airport, a walk through the woods directly from Q de L to the church on the hill (and coffee at the café there) on our first day, two further local walks (we particularly enjoyed PR1 and the climb along a cascading stream- and all local walks are very well signposted), the many depictions of Jesus in Monte Cordova cemetery (!), a day just wandering around Porto and a trip to Penada Geres National Park (drove the beautiful route from Boucas to Fafiao - where we had lunch - and swam in streams along the way). You could fit in more exploration than we did but we were on relax-overdrive. Hanging out on our terrace or at the swimming pool, playing a little tennis and lying in a hammock with a good book were just so relaxing! We also bought food locally to cook, either from the roadside or the well stocked supermarket Continente in S. Tirso.

The house was big so everyone could have their privacy. Beds were comfy. Dogs loved the outdoor space. It was just perfect for us. We will definitely come back again.

This place feels like a sort of homecoming.The beautiful gardens surround a familiar rustic house that unites tradition and the comforts of modernity (by the way, if you are an introspect or a writer, this would be also an ideal place for you to meet yourself or your muse!). The pool is awesome, particulary because it has salted water, making you almost feel like you are by the sea. You can also enjoy the silence. Important fact: it is all very clean. As a bonus, the owner is extremely nice and goes all the way in order to make you feel at home. So I highly recommend this house!

Casa davvero molto bella e dotata di tutti i confort. Spazi ampi, arredati con gusto e tanta attenzione dei proprietari nel fornire tutto il necessario per trascorre una vacanza meravigliosa, compresi giochi di società, biliardo e tavolo ping pong inclusi. Piscina stupenda e giardino davvero curato. Proprietari disponibili, anche nel check-in fuori orario, senza nessuna maggiorazione. Consiglio vivamente questa, vicina ai siti più belli da visitare (a soli 30 minuti dall'aeroporto di Porto)
