Beautiful spacious farmhouse apartment, with private pool, terrace, BBQ, Netflix | Apartment in Longos

3 Bedroom Apartment in Portela, Longos
This is paradise for families who love to be in the midst of nature, but close to villages and towns. We're part way up a mountain. Once you drive through the gates and park along the front of the stone farmhouse, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the stunnning views all around, with woodland trails right behind the house, leading to Sameiro and Bom Jesus.
The apartment is on the ground floor - on hot summer days, you'll be impressed with the coolness of the sitting room, with its thick stone walls - from the days it used to be the winehouse. Now with windows on three sides, large comfortable sofas, a wooden dining room table, a large flat screen TV (English, French, Portuguese and German TV channels and Netflix), and double doors out to the patio...it is a wonderful place to sit and read in comfort, or go outside and enjoy al fresco living, with the BBQ and a firepit less than a stone's throw away.
The house is set in the mountains but only 15 minutes from the historic cities of Braga and Guimarães, and less than 10 minutes from the pretty spa town of Taipas.
It's in a beautiful location, with views over the mountains and valleys.
Meet our adorable little flock of Cameroon sheep (currently seven). You can even feed them! And enjoy eggs from our free range chickens - of varying colours!
The apartment accommodates 6 people, with 3 beautifully furnished bedrooms, one with twin beds, one with a King size bed (1.80mx 2m) and French doors giving access to the front garden (bathroom in between the two bedrooms), and the third bedroom has a double bed, with bathroom opposite. There is a large living room/kitchen/dining area (very well equipped), with an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. Capsules and powders are provided.
The pool (6 metres x 6 metres, accessed by a short ladder with 4 steps) is a minute's walk away, at the end of a pergola with jasmine and scented climbers overhead. It is set on a terrace, with magnificent views, surrounded by palm trees, kiwis, fig and olive trees. There are sun loungers (towels provided) and a fridge for cold drinks.
Guests are spoilt here and always arrive to bread, wine, cheese and the famous Portuguese 'natas'.
Swings for the children in the garden and a table tennis table, with bats and balls provided.
The farm has many fruit trees and guests can eat whatever fruit is in season - plums and figs in the summer; oranges, kiwis, lemons in the winter.
The area abounds in history, culture and gastronomy! There are lots of walks behind the house, through the forest, leading to Sameiro and Bom Jesus, and a beautiful flat river walk in Taipas, 5 minutes away.
The owners also live at the farmhouse. Their entrance is to the rear of the property, whereas the entrance to the apartment is at the side.
Virginia and José have 3 children, 2 friendly dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Labrador) and a cat. If you want to be part of a happy busy farm environment, hearing the sounds of nature around you (birds, sheep, hens, crickets, frogs, eagles) look no further. You'll be very well looked after here, but given your own space and privacy.
