O Refúgio do Ermal é o sítio perfeito para descansar!A localização, afastada do bulício da cidade e com os seus amplos jardins, é ideal para relaxar na piscina e dar liberdade aos seus animais de estimação.Os quartos são grandes e confortáveis, oferecem boa privacidade e têm acesso directo à piscina.A cozinha está totalmente equipada com tudo o precisamos e podemos usufruir das ervas aromáticas e das amoras que crescem no jardim. A sala de refeições e área social é enorme e tem uma grande smart Tv onde podemos aceder a serviços de streaming e fazer uma noite de filmes.O extra da sala de jogos foi estupendo, oferecendo momentos divertidos entre a máquina de flippers e a mesa de bilhar.O atendimento e recepção foram do melhor, desde o detalhe de nos receberem com sumo de laranja fresco e outros mimos até à apresentação de todos os detalhes da propriedade e recomendações de sítios de interesse e actividades de lazer.A localização oferece um bom passeio até a praias fluviais e à ilha do Ermal e é relativamente perto de supermercados e restaurantes, tanto em Vieira do Minho como Póvoa do Lanhoso.Desde já agradeço toda a simpatia e disponibilidade dos nossos anfitriões e recomendo vivamente esta propriedade a quem quer descontrair e passar bons momentos em família ou com amigos. Vou voltar, com certeza!

Tivemos uma estadia maravilhosa! A casa é muito espaçosa, com uma excelente estrutura para descanso e lazer. As camas eram extremamente confortáveis, proporcionando ótimas noites de sono. Há uma grande variedade de atividades disponíveis: piscina, ginásio, churrasqueira, campo de futebol e até uma sala de jogos – perfeito para todas as idades!Os espaços para refeições e momentos de relaxamento, tanto internos quanto externos, são super agradáveis e bem planejados. O ambiente é muito tranquilo, cercado pela natureza, ideal para quem busca descansar e se desconectar.As anfitriãs foram super atenciosas e sempre disponíveis para ajudar com o que fosse necessário. Recomendamos e com certeza voltaremos!
