Quinta do Galgo is an ancient stone house surrounded by nature, with a large outdoor pool. Its location in the Cávado Valley makes it a good base for walking tours. The 4 charming apartments have stone walls, wooden stairs or balconies and a cottage feel. They all include a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom and a lounge area with sofas. All except one offer a stone fireplace. Guests of Quinta do Galgo can relax in the games room with a game of billiards or table tennis. The Quinta’s staff can organize horse-back trips to the Castle of Lanhoso. The Quinta is located just 7 km from Braga and 25 km from the Peneda-Gerês National Park.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

    Lovely quiet comfortable house in the middle of nowhere. Kitchen was adequately stocked so we were able to cook. Lovely to have a wood burner especially as so cold and wet outside.

    A very peaceful and quiet place away from the crowds.We enjoyed the stay in the stone house, the garden and the playroom.

    the hostess was extremely friendly and helpful - she gave us suggestions of places for meals and even gave us loads of fresh eggs for our breakfast and some port to taste. One of us even enjoyed a quick dip in the pool before leaving.
