Casa do Rio 2 - Experience the river and the mount

Оценено: 02.05.2026 Length of stay: 4 months

We lack words to express what a wonderful experience we had in Janeiro de Baixo! Living in the property of Maria was a true joy, with all the prompt assistance she provided us whenever we needed.
The neighborhood was incredible, surrounded by green mountains and rivers and a quietness we had never seen before. It is a wonderful getaway to forget about the city life, to be submerged into nature and to engage with super friendly inhabitants of the village. We went with our children and the people reacted super welcoming towards them, frequently gifting us with extremely sweet fruit (figs, grapes, kakis, mandarins, etc) from their own gardens and backyards. Our experience was truly unforgettable!
It can get pretty cold in the fall as the winter months approach, but Maria was so helpful that she bought us a dryer for our clothes, since with the humidity they were unable to dry. She fetched for all the needs we had while living in her property, and carefully kept in contact with us to make sure we were helped in whatever necessary. When we met her and her husband in the beginning, they even drove us to the neighboring village to show us the people and the businesses and to get us acquainted with the area. They are truly lovely people and Janeiro de Baixo is a truly captivating place! It stole our hearts! We highly recommend it!
