About this property

Casa do Forno: charming Farmhouse for relaxation with private garden

  • The "Casa de Penas de Cima" estate is located in northern Portugal in Geraz do Minho, 15 km from Braga, 20 km from Guimarães, 20 km from the Peneda-Gerês National Park, and 70 km from Porto and its international airport.
    Set in a splendid location where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful and restful stay, the estate features four beautifully renovated independent farm buildings in an authentic Portuguese style:
    • ‘Casa da Borboleta’, a 3-bedroom house,
    • ‘Casa do Forno’, a 2-bedroom house with a private garden,
    • ‘Casa da Colmeia’, a 2-bedroom house,
    • ‘Casa das Azeitonas’, a 2-bedroom house.

    The area also has a game room with billiards, table football, table tennis ... common to the 4 houses

    The estate includes a stunning shared garden surrounding a large shared swimming pool (7 x 13 metres). There is also a shared games room with a pool table, table football and table tennis.

    Wi-Fi access is available in each house, though please note that internet connectivity and phone signal may be weak due to the limited signal in the valley.
    This farm house is ideally located for exploring Braga, Bom Jesus, Porto, the coast, Peneda-Gerês National Park, Guimarães, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima, and more.

    Casa do Forno is a particularly charming and spacious holiday home, featuring a private garden surrounded by fruit trees and olive trees, with beautiful views over the valley.
    Facing due south, the garden enjoys sunshine for much of the day. It is the perfect place to dine outdoors, soak up the sun or simply relax. The garden has its own patio, dining area and barbecue.

    The house
    Casa do Forno has two bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom with shower and WC:
    • The first bedroom, located next to the living room, has two single beds.
    • The second bedroom, accessible through the garden has a double bed.
    The bedrooms have air conditioning.

    Casa do Forno can accommodate up to 4 guests.
    The spacious and comfortable living room is equipped with a TV and a video player.

    The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, cooker and refrigerator, as well as a dining table for four. You will also find the original traditional bread oven, once used for baking bread, which is a particularly charming feature of the house.

    Traditional charm and modern comfort
    Spacious, warm and comfortable, the house has been renovated using quality materials to provide all modern comforts while preserving its original character and atmosphere.

    The décor harmoniously combines contemporary elements with traditional Portuguese style. The original thick granite walls help maintain a pleasant temperature inside the house throughout the year, even on the hottest summer days.

    A house steeped in history
    Originally, Casa do Forno was used for storing and preparing food – bread, honey, cured meats, etc. – and also served as shelter for small farm animals.
    Today, this former farm outbuilding has been transformed into a comfortable and charming holiday home, while retaining traces of its history and traditional use.

    The house is strictly non-smoking.

A lovely holiday cottage in a peaceful environment.

We enjoyed our stay very much and the cottage, private garden and shared pool were exceptional.However, it would have been helpful, having arrived tired, late, all shops closed , without provisions to have a starter/welcome pack. A little tea, coffee & milk to tide us over - till we could find a shop the following day, would have been much appreciated. Unfortunately the Air Con machines didn’t work and it was very warm. We had to purchase a fan, which of course we had to leave due to flying, until the engineer came a day or two later. Despite these issues - it’s a beautiful cottage in a charming setting and makes a good base for sightseeing in northern Portugal.

Très bon séjour passé dans la casa do forno

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour ! La casa do forno est idéale pour deux couples d’amis comme nous ou même une famille (chacun sa salle de bains grâce à la deuxième chambre séparée). La piscine est magnifique et souvent libre car il y a peu de logements dans le domaine. Nous recommandons à 100% ce logement !

Außergewöhnlich SCHÖN!!!

Wunderschöne Räumlichkeiten, toller Garten, herrliche Außenanlage mit großem, sauberen Pool. Der Spielsalon mit Billiard, Tischtennis und Kicker ist großartig. Das WLAN hat nicht ausreichend funktioniert, für uns war es aber nicht so wichtig. Wir kommen gerne wieder, es war wirklich besonders.

Férias maravilhosas

O local é ideal para descansar. A casa é muito espaçosa e confortável. Amámos o jardim privado, onde desfrutámos de refeições ao ar livre! O espaço da piscina é maravilhoso. A quinta seja composta por 4 casas, todas tem a sua privacidade o que é muito agradável. Desfrutámos de uns dias maravilhosos! Um bem haja à D. Luísa pela sua simpatia e atenção.
