Charming converted farmhouse with private garden, garage and pool. | Other in Barca do Lago
4 Bedroom Place in Gemeses, Barca do Lago
A farmhouse which was bought by our family in the early 1960's, reconstructed and fully refurbished as a holiday home for our use, retaining many of the original characteristics: the local granite stone surrounding the large fireplace, a carved oak ceiling in the 1st floor living room, 'alcove' beds (decorative only) in that room, and original oak beams in the large living/dining room. The house is in a rural countryside area which overlooks the river Cavado. beaches at Esposende and Ofir with its many attractions are within a 10 minute drive. A mature and secluded garden surround the house, with swimming pool and adjacent 'eira' (a cemented area originally used for beating corn - this was the miller's house!) is ideal for outdoor meals, with a fixed bbq near the kitchen door. Barbecue, canoes, bicycles are available. The house is for self-catering rental, is fully equipped, and there is a weekly change of linen. Changeover: Saturdays, arrival from 5pm departure 11am.
Arrival and departure times: We ask our guests to arrive at the property no earlier than 5pm on changeover days, and to leave up to 11am on the day of departure. This is to allow sufficient time for a thorough cleaning and change of linen, in line with recommended covid cleaning guidelines . Your cooperation is much appreciated.
Sports facilities: The swimming pool, canoes and bicycles as detailed below are available for guests' enjoyment, but please note that the use of any of these facilities is expressly at your own risk and liability for damage or injury to our property, yourselves and third parties.
Swimming pool: for your own comfort and safety in the pool area, please note that there is no trained lifesaver on hand; running and diving are not permitted; food or drink taken in this area must be served in the provided plastic dishes, 'glasses' and cutlery, with everyone's safety in mind. Please use the cemented area above the pool ('eira') for this purpose if required.
Canoes: these must be handled by adults only and care taken in their removal from and return to storage. Canoes may capsize easily in inexperienced hands, and the use of life jackets (provided) is obligatory.
Information: Detailed information and instruction for use of equipment available in the house, plus suggestions for local amenities, is in a plastic folder, to be found on the dining table. These are written in English, Portuguese and French. Please note that the copper pans in the kitchen, and the alcove beds upstairs are strictly decorative.
