    The house and garden were wonderful. Like in pictures! Everything you need to enjoy your vacation! 🙏🏼 Ivonna (owner) is such a lovely person - told us where to go, about the vineyard. If we will have a chance- we will definitely come back. 🤗

    Casa do Xico This place beats ANYTHING we have seen in the so-called villas of Tuscany, and easily leaves such places in the dust with regard to quality. There is not a single aspect of this property to find fault with - from the designer elements...

Located in the village of Guardizela, about 15 minutes from Guimarães and 30 minutes from Oporto and its international airport, you will find Casa do Xico. The house has a capacity for six people, offering two suites with private bathroom and a double sofa-bed. Guests can enjoy the lovely living room and a fully equipped kitchen, plus laundry room. There is, as well, a salted-water swimming pool with views over the vineyards. We also offer free wifi within the premises and cleaning services every other day"
I like my house, to receive well, good food, good wine, I love to cook, I like to learn, to take care of the garden and yoga. I am a vegetarian and I love dogs. I work in Oporto, which makes me not always present to receive our guests, but our team,will do it's best to do so, and I, always, complete assistance with a telephone conversation
Ideal place to visit Porto, the rest of Minho and even the famous Douro. Situated 15 minutes by car from the famous city of Guimarães (European capital of culture in 2012, 25 minutes from Braga (European Youth Capital in 2013), 3 minutes from the wonderful city of Oporto and 50 from our Douro. The village is not historical but has some attractions such as: a small tennis court and a beautiful church and chapel of St Luzia both from the XVII century
