N63 Casa dos Esquilos (Squirrel) Lugar de Marinhas, near Vilar de Mouros

This three bed roomed house has one double with en-suite shower room and two further twins sharing a full bathroom. A large living/dining room (which includes a DVD player) leads onto decking around the pool and a further covered area of decking for al fresco eating. The kitchen is small but well equipped and although there is no washing machine this service is provided by the amid on Wednesdays). A wood burning stove is a feature in the living/dining room. Outside, the steeply sloping garden leads down to a small stream. From here one can walk to the River beach on the River Coura where there is a small Café.

Our Opinion
A modest house in a quiet position with functional furnishings in a minimalist style. All the windows have solid interior shutters rather than curtains. Good value for money.
