Holiday House and Weekends in the Gerês National Park

Close to kayaking, birdwatching, and more, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 19-minute drive to Canicada Dam. After you return to this 1076-sq-ft cottage, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the Internet and cable/satellite TV. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets, air conditioning, and limited housekeeping.
