John & Larissa
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city at our gated farm home just 45 minutes from Porto in the municipality of Marco de Canaveses. Relax on the covered veranda, pool deck or creekside patio overlooking lush green hills scattered with rustic stone homes and churches. Explore the grounds, dip your toes in the creek, and interact with the farm animals. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of waterfalls, birds, and church bells. Give the fast growing paddle sport of pickleball a try. Easy access for hiking, cycling, or driving gravel, cobbled, and paved back roads that lead to endless discoveries of churches, parks, vineyards, Roman ruins, cafes, and small villages. Your hosts can provide guided hikes or bike rides, arrange pickleball lessons or matches, recommend dining options and local attractions.
Meet your hosts, John and Larissa, and their loyal cattle dog, Marley. After making the move from California in 2023, they're loving their new life in Portugal. John, an avid cyclist, can often be found exploring the local roads and trails, taking in the stunning views of the mountains and Douro valley. Meanwhile, Larissa is a social butterfly, always on the lookout for new adventures, friendships, and language skills to master. Fluent in English and Spanish, she's quickly becoming a pro in Portuguese too! John and Larissa are dedicated to providing the perfect balance of privacy and hospitality, whether that means respecting your alone time or sharing a cup of coffee, a delicious meal, a hike, bike ride, or a game of pickleball. Come and experience the warmth of Portuguese living with us!
Quinta Escondida is nestled off a cobbled street in the quiet, charming parish of Avessadas. The property is bounded by a creek and lush trees that provide total privacy. We are located just off of N210, 15 minutes to the city center of Marco de Canaveses. Local attractions include the Roman ruins of Tongobriga, the Tamega and Douro rivers, the beautiful city of Amarante, and countless wineries, churches, and historic villages.
