We have various activities available, such as hiking along the nearby trail next to our house, spending time with animals, and enjoying summer swims at local river beaches. Additionally, we plan city trips to Porto, Braga, and surrounding areas. If you enjoy cooking, we also like to make pizzas and are open to cooking together. We appreciate it if you take occasional moments for yourself to have your own time and space.
We are a Dutch couple with a little girl Ella. Elisah is a therapist who works with her horses and enjoys practicing yoga and engaging in shamanic rituals such as drumming in her free time. Guido, on the other hand, has a passion for gardening, influenced by his mother who is a garden architect. He also enjoys working with wood and constructing beautiful things. With such diverse interests, we both have a lot to offer. Starting a tourism business provides a broad range of opportunities, catering to various preferences and skills.
