In the heart of the small village of Gominhães, the Alpendre has to offer all the facilities for a relax and nice stay that will amuse the ones who love nature and the traditional lifestyle of the locals. The house is located at 7 km from the center of Guimarães and at 2 km from the lovely village of S.Torcato where you are able to find supermarkets, bars, restaurants and everything you will need for your stay. The Alpendre has a fully equipped kitchen with some groceries like olive oil, tea, salt... we also have a privative park for your car, wi-fi, a garden and a little backyard where you can collect the seasonal fruits and vegetables.
When you arrive at Alpendre you can be received by Claudina (daughter) or the Mother Teresa. We are communicative people, always ready to help all the guests in order to provide the best accommodation possible.
