A beautiful, atmospheric place, ideal for a break from everyday life and the hustle and bustle of the city. Casa da Serena is situated right on the beach, the sound of the waves, the sea breeze, the seagulls - simply a fairy tale, a place to fall in love with. In the nearby fishing port you can watch the fishermen at work and buy freshly caught fish. The cottage is tastefully and modernly furnished and fully equipped (nothing really missing), well maintained and very clean. The owners are friendly, very helpful and courteous. The keys were handed over without a hitch. There is a wide choice of restaurants and bars with really good and fresh food (we liked the bar across the road best). In the town of Vila Cha there are small local shops where you can buy all the basics, fresh bread, fruit, vegetables etc. every day. The city of Porto, Braga (Bom Jesus do Monte with its Stairway to Heaven), Guimaraes, the Peneda-Geres National Park are not far away - there really is something to do apart from sunbathing and watching the ocean change from hour to hour.
We spent 10 days in this fabulous place, we had a real break and it was really sad to leave - but what a job waiting for us. We are very happy and we are already planning to return there next year, and we do not often return to the same places.
