Description
Thank you for reading! We need 2 workawayers at same time.
We have an unusual one hundred year old house with about 1,000 sq meters of land in the beautiful Alto Minho region of Portugal in the North West of the country, an area of lush green countryside, mountains and great rivers. We have manage to create a true family hub and country escape, where everyone has space to doo exactly as they wish. We decided to move from Porto to the countryside to give my children (3) a rural outbringing
The house is located on the edge of the village of Covas, 15km from Vila Nova Cerveira, on theRiver Minho which forms the border with the Spanish region of Galicia.
We are in a totally rural environment with the unspoiled and undiscovered Serra darga mountains immediately above us and we have fantastic views from the house down to the valley of the River Coura and the attractive and very typical village. Covas itself is 2km away and has a good range of facilities such as cafes, restaurants and mini markets but it has to be said that public transport out of the village is limited.
Finally a little about us. I am Isabel,61 years old I have a Tourism and a History degree.B&B business in our beautiful 1913 house during Summer season. We don't watch TV at all. We like to read, draw and paint, a glass of wine and good talk.Our house as a great atmosphere and many often with guests (Summer), friends and family.
Beautiful area to hiking,painting, reading.
