GUESTBOOK

We encourage you to read some of the glowing comments we have received from our valued clients:

Villa 201
 "We really enjoyed our visit to your wonderful country. Shame Portugal did not win it! I said I would write about the villa and we truly enjoyed it. The villa was luxurious, in a stunning setting and was excellently equipped. The spacious interiors felt cool and comfortable, and everything worked perfectly - the showers, fridge, taps, locks, automatic gates. We felt truly relaxed and even entertained my brother and his family by the pool one evening, which was superb. We would recommend this villa to families and adults. Superb. Take care."

Villa 306
"We arrived safely back in th UK on Sunday 15th Aug. We have had a fabulous holiday in Northern Portugal. The owner was a perfect host. He was very kind and very helpful. The service we received was great. We would happily recommend both you and the property we stayed in to our family and friends. Thank you once again. We would be delighted to book our holiday with you again some time in the future. Kind regards"

Tim and Karen Plumb (England) - August 2004

Villa 601
"We had a fantastic time, the villa was excellent. We met the owners on arrival and everything was perfect from there. The whole process was very efficient from start to finish. The booking, paying for the villa, directions and facilities. I would definately recommend Villas & cottages and that property to any future clients. Kind regards"

Karen Cotton (Cheshire, England) - September 2004

"We had a lovely time at the windmill. The sense of isolation and quietness justified the driving involved in going to the nearby beaches or out for dinner in the many restaurants of VN Milfontes, Zambujeira, Azenhas do mar, etc. Both the tower of the mill and the adjacent cottage were in impeccable condition and so was the outside area.

The pool was suitably sized and although I prefer the sea, I swam in it every day. When at home we always had meals outside and made good use of the available barbeque."

"Just a quick note to say thank you for your help in the organizing the villa. It was a wonderful place, and the owner and his family were very welcoming. We would definitely recommend it to friends. Regards."

Villa 202
"We had a great time at Casa Moinho and would thoroughly recommend the villa (and Villas and Cottages) to our friends."

Dr Karen Ross (Coventry, England) - August 2004

Villa 207
"Can you pass on our sincere thanks to the owner as it really was a great place to stay. Once again many thanks to your company and the owners for making everything run so smoothly especially the directions which were exact as we had no problem finding it even though we thought we might.

The only disappointment was England being knocked out by Portugal but obviously you couldnt do much about that!!  Best wishes and thanks once again."

Dave Hendy (England) - June 2004

Villas 203 & 207
"Dear Mr Monteiro, I would like to thank you for your high quality service during the booking step and your visit in the second villa of our vacations. My feedback is that we spend a very good time in the both villas ( #203 and #207) but that my choice would be the first one for next vacations in Portugal, due to the incredible charm of the place and the very pleasant accomodation of the owners.
Thank you."

Guillaume MERLEN (France) - July 2004

Villa 203
"I can only say that we have been extremely happy for our vacation and travel to Portugal. Our booking process went smoothly and if we had any question we got a quick reply from you on email, which worked perfectly for us. Our welcome at the villa also went fine even though we arrived late at night and there were arranged food and drinks for us which were very convenient.

The villa was fully satisfied, very charming and our children were also very happy especially for the swimming pool. We enjoyed staying there and went on different tours to Braga,  Barcelos on the day where there was a big market, Porto and Viana do Castelo. We can only recommend our stay and travel form to family and friends. Thank you very much.

Best regards" Lene Marie Andersen (Denmark) - July 2004

Villa 305
"We spent a marvelous two weeks touring the country and enjoying the spectacles of EURO 2004 and the SAO JOAO. Wheter on the bright terraces of the Douro Valley or the mazy alleys of Porto, our group found good nature, eager assistance, and shared joy. And your home provided a welcome retreat for neary travelers ready for sun and swimming. Felicidades + Obrigado."

Michael Malafronte (New York) - June 2004

"We have seen many beautiful places and the view of the Douro Valley from this home is one of the most spectacular. It is "new" every morning. The pool has been wonderful as the weather has been as warm as your welcome. We have been privilaged to share this home for a week and we shall always remember our time here." 

The Sarrington family (England) - July 2004

Villa 314
"We had a most enjoyable two weeks at villa #314. It was very well furnished, decorated and had extensive grounds. I don't think that there is much that could be improved on with the villa and indeed the booking process was very pofessionally conducted by yourselves.

Thanks again" Andrew Nicholls (England) - August 2004

"We had a great holiday in Portugal and were delighted with our choice of villa (#314). The villa had everything we needed and more (with the exception of the bread knife which had a loose handle!). The owners and their family were extremely pleasant and anxious to make sure we had what we needed. We were also delighted to meet you and impressed by such a personal interest in your clients' satisfaction. 

This holiday was our first in Portugal for eleven and a half years and reminded us how much we like the country. We certainly hope to return and when we do your website will be our first point of call. Although we don't often repeat a holiday we would certainly consider renting villa #314 again, possibly with a larger party. Thank you for all your help and continued interest. With best wishes"

Glenda, David, Pippa and Andrew Shawley (England) - September 2004

Villa 312
"I think that the service has been great. I thought that it was very considerate of Sergio to pick us up from the airport and drive us back to the villa and to the shops. The villa is a wonderful place to stay and very well-equipped and nicely furnished."

Anthony Rechichi (Australia) - June 2004

Villa 209
"Just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had in Ponte de Lima and what a beautiful villa it is. The country is absolutely stunning and I have no doubt that we will be returning one day. Thank you for all you help and for all your hard work in finding the villa for us, we really appreciate it. We found Villas and Cottages very professional, responsive and extremely helpful, and that was a big part of the overall enjoyment of the holiday. We would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again.  On behalf of the Mathias/Kennedy family"
