Vacation rentals with lake access in Cova

Excellent stay. The house exceeded expectations, beautiful and very neat. It smelled very well. In addition, the site was extremely calm and with a lot of privacy. They were very attentive, always ready to help. We had a small situation that we eventually managed to solve ourselves, however they were attentive to the point of leaving a basket with breakfast at our door for the inconvenience we had. I recommend it 100% and we will definitely be back there.

Great for a family, we had a wonderful weekend. Nice to have 3 full bathrooms, never a wait even with many adults getting ready! Beautiful view of the river, bridges, landscape of the area. Super convenient with good restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance. Would love to stay here again on our next vacation to Gerês.

Very quiet and pleasant location. Fully equipped and comfortable house.

We spent the most beautiful 3 days in Tiago’s house and it was amazing, the house itself is stylish and incredible clean and special shout out to how they decorated the house for the Christmas! Loved it! Outdoor area and the house surroundings are like from the picture. Hope to be back with you guys soon. Thanks again!

We went for the anniversary of my girlfriend and we loved the super equipped and comfortable house. Everything was very clean We would be back

This was a beautiful to get away. The space had lots to do. The hosts were delightful.

We loved our short stay at Cesar’s mill house. The house was just as described, very cosy and quiet. We loved being surrounded by the small waterfall and stream. Felt like a fairy tale house.

Nice quiet place. It’s a suite in the bottom floor of their house. The interior of it and the patio area felt a bit like a peaceful oasis. In terms of location, you will probably need a car to get there and to get to anything (there is quite a bit to do within 15-30 minutes of driving). It’s not especially walkable. There is a little cafe and a small grocery store just up the street, which was great for evening snack runs :) They are very friendly people and clearly put a lot of effort into making their space welcoming 💜

Excellent stay. The accommodation was great, well located and just as described. The host was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you for everything!

I loved the cottage; it was quaint, clean and private with lots of friendly cats who welcomed us. The only real issue I had was the bed was very hard. Maybe a mattress topper? Marie is outstanding as a hostess.

10/10 accommodation and facilities! Set in an idyllic setting in a beautiful building next to the river, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The room had everything we needed for cooking our own meals, modern features and was warm and cozy. The spa (jacuzzi and steam room) was such a treat after a day of exploring. It was perfect in every way, and I will be finding reasons to return asap!

Unfortunately there were only 2 nights, house and location 5*.. Mr. Antonio was spectacular with us making it easy at check in/check out leaving us completely at will, D. Olivia e o Sr. Secundino were impeccable with us making us feel like we were part of the family, some loves we came with a full heart and very eager to return soon but this time with more time because Gerês is beautiful and mt was left to explore.. until soon and mt thank you for all kindness and availability 🥰

Wonderful stay in a great apartment in Quinta Da Barca. The host Nathalie was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed in the house, even offering a clean mid-stay and putting out a cot for our baby. It's a 3 bedroom duplex with all the amenities required including 5g internet speed, living room + TV, dining room, nice balcony with table and chairs, and all the kitchen appliances. Quinta Da Barca is a lovely residence situated close to Esposende, it has a golf course, tennis courts, pool and it's on the river. The apartment is very close to the pool (1 min walk) which is really helpful when you have small kids that need to go back and forth between the house and the pool. Recommend anyone to go stay in the Nathalie's appartment, we will definitely revisit next year!

very friendly and responsive host. very good communication. top-notch accommodation. just missing air conditioning or screens to be able to leave the windows open at night to refresh the apartment. very spacious accommodation for 5. clean and functional.

The apartment was impeccable. The location was quite good. Check-in is quite flexible. Mrs. Luísa is super friendly and attentive, she gave us some information on what to do in the surrounding area. I'm sure if I return to Gerês I will repeat the stay.

The place was lovely, exactly like the pictures, would definitely stay again!

Juan is an excellent host and gave us all the facilities to make our stay very special. The home has all the needs, to highlight the fireplace and heating. Thank you very much Juan for allowing us to be your guests.

This place is incredible! We stayed for 5 nights and didn't want to leave. The location is great for walking, with endless exploring opportunities straight from the door, and is only a short drive from beautiful beaches (we visited Praia da Arda and Praia de Afife). However, we were extremely happy spending many of our days at the house, swimming in the river, reading, cooking, enjoying the peaceful location and beautiful views. Previous reviews were very helpful in knowing what to expect and, as mentioned by another guest, it would be difficult to get here without a car. There are no shops, cafes or restaurants within walking distance, but we arrived with plenty of groceries and found the kitchen so well equipped that we opted to eat in every night. We loved our stay here and are already thinking of a return visit.

Great calm place in a beautiful village

Jose and Aurora's place was the highlight of our month-long trip in Portugal. They have a beautiful farm in the middle of the tranquil and picturesque countryside. We spent our days swimming in the fresh water tank and local rivers, picking fresh fruit from the trees, playing with the animals, and walking through the cobblestone streets. Their place is perfect for a family with young kids, but is also a relaxing getaway for adults, too. The little cottage we stayed in was quaint, but had everything we needed to feel at home in the country. Jose and Aurora were very welcoming - their hospitality unmatched! They particularly made our kids feel special by taking them to pick passion fruit from their own personal trees and letting the help feed the geese. What an experience. Five bright stars!

Excellent house, very comfy and nice. It was with children and the elderly and the house served everyone very well. Thank you, António, for the hospitality and kindness!

The place is very nice and the house in general is good. Need some arrangement and paint some of the walls. Being the bathroom next to the living room and having the sliding door, it does not fit well, so the smells in the drain come to the living room. Very uncomfortable if someone has to use the sofa bed to sleep there. The people who took care of us were very kind. We appreciate the welcome cake.

Beautiful house, amazing private location above a lake. Very relaxing being immersed in nature. House well kitted out and lovely features. We took our paddleboard and wonderful paddle boarding on the lake. Children loved the swimming and the ‘cold tub’ plunge pool. Thankyou Gerrit and Grace, we hope to return.
