Casa do Avô Manuel was created as a heartfelt tribute by the owners to the grandfather who gave it its name — a place designed to welcome, share and create memories, just as he always did. With 5 cosy bedrooms (4 with double beds and 1 with two single beds), the house can accommodate 10 adults, with the possibility of 2 extra beds for children, making it ideal for large families or groups of friends. Inside, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, two comfortable living rooms, free Wi-Fi, heating and a fireplace, perfect for colder days and evenings spent in good company. Outside, you are invited to relax and unwind: a pleasant seating area, saltwater swimming pool, spacious outdoor kitchen for group meals, barbecue, ping-pong table and a large garden with sun loungers, where time slows down and rest comes naturally. Located in Valença do Minho, a few kilometres from Spain, Casa do Avô Manuel is the ideal starting point for discovering Minho and Galicia, so close by, and enjoying nature, gastronomy and conviviality. Here, every stay is a celebration of family, roots and good times. More than a house, a place with soul!

Los adultos disfrutaron tanto como los niños de la piscina, la mesa de ping pong y los juegos de mesa. La casa está muy bien equipada. El comedor está en un porche en un edificio aparte perfecto para no hacer ruido a las habitaciones. ##### Ángela María V.
