Stay at Gallery Covas
We now offer luxury self catering accommodation, with two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and private sitting rooms. All with green credentials in mind!
A wonderful 300 year old farmhouse that has been lovingly and carefully modernised. We offer private, luxurious, self-catering accommodation. Two double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and private sitting rooms.
If you are looking for peace and quiet – a rare taste of rural Portugal as it used to be and wonderful surroundings, look no further than Covas.
Ideal for people wanting a quiet holiday and interested in enjoying and exploring the unspoiled Alto Minho. See information on the Alto Minho in the Welcome to Covas link.
- The Farmhouse with the Chapel
Our garden always has a resident Black Redstart, the first bird you will hear in the early morning. The sound of Scops Owls at night is a feature of the valley and we always have lots of butterflies on the lavender around the garden. We try hard to reduce our carbon footprint – use solar panels for water heating and electricity and have an organic garden. There are not many places left in Europe where the noisiest thing is the cock next door and you can sit and read to the sound of sheep bells!
- The Wine Room used to be the old bodega but has been carefully turned into a lovely bedroom with the original wine press still in place.
- The Birds Nest – has a calm quiet atmosphere.
The whole area is centrally heated, warm in the winter but cool in the summer. Both bedrooms have television´s. We have a large collection of books which you are welcome to borrow and we also have a good collection of DVD´s if you would like to watch a film in the evening, DVD-players are available.
- The kitchen and inside dining area
The Sun Room has a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Outside, there is a large patio with a picnic table and barbecue.
We have decorated the farmhouse with the many pieces of art and crafts we have acquired during our time working in various parts of the world, we hope that this gives you the same pleasure it gives us.
