We stayed here as a family of 6, 4 teenage kids. - It's an old Portugese farmhouse with 6 rooms, for 12 people or so , not a hotel :-) - The main building plus a side building is rented out, the building closer to the entrance of the terrain and on the other side of the innersquare is where the owners live. - Although they only speak French and Portugese the owners are the nicest people, they even brought us a cake! - The house is in Alfena, which is close to Porto (appr. 20-30 mins to the center, 30 - 40 mins to the beaches of Porto). Alfena itself is not a nice town, but if you're planning to go to Braga, Guimaraes or Porto anyway and you have a car, this is a perfect place. - It has lots pf privacy, it is clean and bigger and nicer then on the pictures shown on homeaway etc. - You can stay there with 12 people assuming at least half shares a bedroom and bed with the other half (6 bedrooms). - The pool is surrounded by big trees, hence lots of privacy there. - Next to the poolgarden is a tennis court you can use as your own! - I can only highly recommend this place, and we will defo be back as soon as we possibly can again.

Un lugar ideal para descansar disfrutando de la naturaleza en un recinto especialmente cuidado. Habitaciones, baños, salón/cocina sumamente amplias y cómodas. Piscina, canchas múltiples, ( baloncesto, tenis, balonmano, mesa ping pong, mesa billar, variedad de juegos y también unas docenas de libros. Edificios que conservan su valor de antigüedad al tiempo que ofrecen los servicios y comodidades acordes a las exigencias actuales. Para los amantes de los animales un perro mastín tan grande como grande es también su cariñosa respuesta a quien le ofrece confianza. Una gatita siamesa dulce y mimosa. Y una preciosa pajarera, escrupulosamente limpia. Sus pájaros de amplia variedad de colorido cuidados con todo celo por el propietario, mañana y tarde. Un lugar para no olvidar nunca, porque si el lugar está lleno de encantos, sus propietarios lo llenan de simpatía, cordialidad, información y amabilidad. Servicios a escasos metros: Gasolineras, Hospitales, supermercados, parque con pistas para caminar o correr, restaurantes. Difícilmente se encuentra un lugar tan confortable dotado de tantos y tan cercanos servicios. ¡ inolvidable estancia de cinco días !. Semana Santa 2019.

I just returned from a week holiday in this beautiful estate. We rented the home with friends of ours so in total we were 4 adults and 3 children under 5 years. The pool was excellent and between the tennis court, ping-pong table and pool table we were never bored. The grounds were lovely and our girls (almost 5 yrs old) had a great time running around and exploring. There are two grocery stores and a bakery within 5 minutes walk away. I would not recommend renting this property without also renting a car as the public transport isn't super handy. We drove into the nearest train station (10 min drive) and took the train into Porto a few times. Driving into the city is also pretty easy but parking can be a pain. Parking is not insanely expensive but the garages and streets are very narrow and can be tricky to maneuver. Overall, we all loved it and hope to return someday!

Great place! My friends and I stayed at Our Lady of Mercy Villa to spend New years Eve. We all (12 people) enjoyed there, Helder and his family helped us in everything we needed...a cable, a taxi, a restaurant number. The house is really decorated, outside the gardens and inside in each room.

Our second stay in this wonderful, spacious villa with its magnificent grounds and facilities! We (couple with accompanying kids in their 20's and their partners) love the place.The owner, Hélder, and his father, Sebastian, could not be kinder or more solicitous. The location is convenient with easy access to Porto city & airport. You can choose to relax within the walled surroundings (with the pool, tennis courts, table tennis, billiard table) or visit the lovely city Porto and its environs. We took an adventure trip to the Gerês National Park (with Oporto Adventure Tours - 5-star!) and a boat trip up the scenic Douro to Regua (BarcaDouro). The Pão Quente bakery round the corner supplied our breakfasts. Marvellous restaurants are Jimão, Vinhas D'Alho and O Retrato in Porto and (best of all) Dom Peixe in Matasinhos. Book your holiday here - I guarantee you won't regret it!!!

Excellent stay at this fantastic villa, couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Nous avons séjourné au Solar da Piedade avec nos proches à l'occasion de notre mariage. Les infrastructures sont excellentes, table de billard, piscine couverte (dont nous avons profité pleinement en plein mois d'octobre), terrain de tennis, table de ping pong etc... Les chambres sont spacieuses et disposent chacune de leur salle de bain privative. L'hygiène est irréprochable. Les jardins du Solar sont magnifiques. Nous avons également apprécié le repas qui nous a été préparé par D. Manuela, tout était délicieux et copieux. Ce que nous avons le plus apprécié c'est la gentillesse de M. Sébastião et son épouse, ils sont adorables! Sans oublier le chien de la propriété Zoko qui va beaucoup nous manquer. Nous recommandons sans hésitation et nous réjouissons de la prochaine occasion pour y séjourner.

Super accueil de la part des propriétaires aux petits soins pour que le séjour soit le meilleur possible. Lieu fantastique dans cet ancien monastère rénové avec goût et authenticité. Je recommande très fortement.

Nous avons séjourné dans cette superbe villa entre amis. Nous étions comme à la maison. Le site est superbe, spacieux propre et au calme. Nombreuses activités sont possible au sein de la villa, ce qui est vraiment très appréciable. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et disponibles. La proximité des commerces et de porto sont à noter également. Nous y retournerons,c’est sûre ! Je recommande vivement.
