Monthly Rentals in Amonde

Rui, your host, was brilliant and as effervescent as a freshly poured flute of fine French champagne - so much so that one almost needs to lie down and rest after having a chat. He loves his tree house and is extremely proud of his construction. One of the nights of our stay they had the fiercest storm in nearly 20 years - 100 kph winds, slashing rain and intense lighting and thunder yet in the morning both we and the tree house was still in the tree - can't say much about sleep but what an experience. It is, indeed, a magical experience. If you are coming by rental car, and a stickler for detail, be aware that you must drive over gravel roads for a few kms, which for most rental cars is not covered in the contract but if you drive in a mature and rationale matter who will ever know. Like how many people can say that they actually resided in a tree house. Just do it.

We enjoyed our stay at Felipe's apartment a lot. We traveled with a 1 year old kid and Felipe provided everything we needed, e.g. a baby chair, toys, and a lot more. Whenever we needed something, Felipe and his family were available for us. A very nice gesture was that we were provided with local food (we got bread every single morning!), we got home-grown eggs and vegetables from the really friendly family. The apartment itself was nice equipped and looked like on the pictures. The environment was really peaceful in the nature. It was a bit far off, it takes 25 minutes to get to the next bigger towns or to the beach (Viana do Castelo, Ancora, Moledo, Caminha, etc.) and the roads were good but very windy.

We enjoyed our one month stay at Box House very much. João was friendly and helpful, offered local recommendations, and also brought us beautiful oranges and lemons from his garden. The home is beautiful and chic, but more than that, it is well equipped and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable, cook our meals, clean and do laundry.

5-star stay. Modern, comfortable and pleasant house, with a very well-kept outdoor space, with swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym and the relaxing sound of running water and the sound of birds. Ana and Paulo were very helpful.
