Beautiful Property
My family and I traveled from the four corners for a family reunion and to watch the England football match and we stayed at the Gatao house. The owner met us for check in. The house is very nice and in a spectacular setting. If you want a little slice of paradise in the lush Douro region, we highly recommended this casa.

Toller Aufenthalt
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche im Haus. Der Pool und die Wiese sind sehr groß und sehr gepflegt. Morgens wird man von den Nachbar Hunden und Hähnen geweckt. Bei einer leeren Gasflasche haben wir sofort Abhilfe erhalten. Toller Gastgeber!

Super séjour
À part, pour trouver la maison, ce qui fut un peu compliqué, excellent séjour. Une maison agréable, endroit calme, piscine sympa... En bonus, le parking pour la voiture faisait un très beau terrain de pétanque! Diogo est joignable très facilement et vraiment gentil. À conseiller !
