Lovely villa
Lovely spacious villa with plenty of room for 10-12 people, and lots of dining and sitting space inside, and outdoor space. It was very warm during our stay, and as the villa doesn't have air conditioning it did get warm inside. Some more fans would be useful, as opening windows does increase outside noise. Kitchen is good with a very large fridge/freezer. The only downsides are the lack of a conventional oven and kettle. The location is an easy drive into Braga centre, with bus stop's very close to the hotel. It's also very close to Bom Jesus - and you can walk if you are reasonably fit. Overall for the rate it is very good accomodation

Nous avons passé un bon séjour malgré la pluie incessante durant les 10 jours. Très jolie maison, bien équipée et très propre. Petits bémols, manque de ventilation dans la salle de bain du bas ce qui donnait des mauvaises odeurs jour et nuit, mais aussi le passage de voitures sur la route plûtot pas mal fréquenté du fait de la proximité avec le "Bom Jésus". Nous recommandons cette résidence de charme.

Excelentes dias na Casa da Bica
A Casa da Bica é uma casa muito espaçoso, acolhedora e confortável. Durante o período da estadia sentimo-nos m casa. Tem todos os utensílios necessários para coinfecção de refeições. A Sra. Cândida foi muito atenciosa. A Casa está muito bem localizada, temos acesso a autocarros e TVGE com muita facilidade, pela proximidade com o Bom Jesus.

Casa correcta aunque con algunos defectos
La casa esta muy bien, casi todas las habitaciones tienen baño individual y es muy espaciosa, la cocina muy completa con mucho menaje. Las pegas que tiene la casa, no tiene suficiente agua y cuando abres dos grifos a la vez no sale agua suficiente y las duchas se convertian en un suplicio. Algunas habitaciones no tenían luz y solo funcionaban con luces auxiliares (Lampara de mesita de noche y otras) Para descargo de la propietaria he de decir que tampoco le comunicamos las incidencias, por lo tanto de haberlo dicho a tiempo puede que las hubiese solucionado.

Preciosa casa rural
Gran experiencia en un viaje precioso. La dueña de la casa muy amable. La casa decorada al detalle. La única pega fue el agua de los baños, apenas salía un hilo de agua en las duchas. Complicado ducharse o lavarse el pelo.

Perfecto para visitar Braga y Guimaraes.
Fuimos un grupo formado por varias parejas y tuvimos una estancia muy agradable. La casa es amplia, tal y como se ve en las fotografías. La propietaria muy atenta y amable. El único detalle el de la dirección, hay otra calle con el mismo nombre en la ciudad. Hay que ir hacia Este (Saõ Pedro).

Excelente fim de semana!
Estivemos 10 adultos com 2 crianças num fim de semana nesta propriedade. A descrição da casa é rigorosa estando perfeitamente adequada a este número de pessoas. Está bem equipada e a decoração é fantástica. As 3 suites são bastantes espaçosas e os quartos muito generosos. O alpendre é fabuloso permitindo relaxar e tirar partido da paisagem. As vistas sobre a cidade e a proximidade do Bom Jesus são uma mais-valia. A receção foi feita pela proprietária que amavelmente nos indicou tudo que era importante para que a nossa estadia fosse agradável. A repetir…
