Isobel & Len
Beautiful granite stone house circa 1748 set on four hillside terraces with magnificent views south to the ancient city of Braga. Enjoy the tranquillity of the numerous decks in the garden for reading or inhouse massages. Large infinity pool with lounges and sun umbrellas during the warmer months.
British and Australian, both lived in the UK and Australia. We love meeting new friends and enjoy socialising. Isobel loves to cook and we both enjoy cycling.
Set in the hills above Vila Verde with spectacular views through the valley both day and night. Casual walks up to and through the forest above.
