Foram 4 dias maravilhosos, numa propriedade muito bem cuidada, limpa e funcional. Tudo que é preciso e uma tranquilidade fenomenal. Um mini paraíso no Minho. Piscina fabulosa, espaço verde e muito ar livre.
O Sr. Horácio e esposa são de uma gentileza autêntica e excelentes anfitriões.
Em tempo de pandemia, esquecemos os males por uns dias. Soberbo!
Obrigada! Voltaremos à Casa da Encruzilhada!

Fantástica!!!
Adorámos! Para além de ser muito bonita, a casa é super confortável. Todos os quartos têm casas de banho modernas, a cozinha é espaçosa (somos um grupo grande com muitas crianças pequenas) e a sala tem todas as comodidades para passar um bom bocado. Os proprietários são muito atenciosos e simpáticos. Recomendo a casa vivamente.
