We had a very relaxing time, and enjoyed ourselves doing very little, sometimes just sitting out on the veranda watching the trees and the day go by. Ellen is a lovely host, and made us feel very welcome.

Good basw

Overall Treetops is a lovely place to stay. Recommend not visiting out of season as local restaurants weren't open and travelling to other towns along narrow roads ar night is not ideal. The owner, Ellen, was very good providing details of places to visit in the area. Great location is you want to some walking as close to Serre D'Arga National Park. The location is very quiet and a nice place to escape the rat race.

Words cannot convey the beauty of Treetops!

A superior accommodation and location high above the beautiful village of Covas. Super comfortable bed and living areas, indoor and out, including barbecue. Fully equipped kitchen with staples provided. Hostess Ellen is like an old family friend immediately, yet never intruded on our stay. She provided excellent tour advice and directions to “secret” spots in the area. Welcoming community and restaurants, lots to see and do. Return each day to Treetops was like arriving in our own private sanctuary complete with a canary aviary! Seemed like the most pleasant spot on earth while we were there!

Amazing!

Our first visit to Portugal and it couldn't have been better. A warm welcome from Ellen, Rafa, Nina and Pumpkin! The location is absolutely stunning, everywhere we went was so picturesque. Lots of great recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants. It was so peaceful and the garden was totally private. I slept like a log the whole time, thoroughly recharged my batteries! Thanks to Ellen for her wonderful hospitality. Maybe see you again..

Wonderful stay at Tree Tops

We were delighted to stay at Tree Tops having had to cancel last year. It was everything and more that we'd hoped for. The accommodation has a lot of character and is clean and well equipped. It is in a beautiful location surrounded by trees on the border of the Serra D'Arga national park. Their are stunning views and lovely walks plus lots of historic towns to visit nearby. Also with easy access to the coast. The owner Ellen is lovely and couldn't be more helpful

A fantastic find

The photos do not do this place justice - it is a fabulous cottage with wonderful views across the valley through the trees. We were welcomed with wine from the local region and every morning and evening we were greeted by Ellen's super friendly dog, Rafa. It is a great location for exploring the beautiful Minho area.

Oasis in the treetops

Ellen has truly made a remarkable getaway in Portugal. Her treetop home is amazing. The entire property is like paradise with flowing fountains, flowers, fruit trees, and so much more! Ellen was a most attentive and gracious host. Knowing we were arriving later in the evening she had stocked the kitchen with juice, milk, fresh eggs from her chickens, fresh honey from her bees, plums, butter, bread and two bottles of wine to make sure we would have food for breakfast in the morning. Ellen was very quick to respond to texts ( which was a good thing when we missed a turn and needed directions, which she gave us step by step)! She warmly greeted us along with her pup Raffa. Ellen’s “Green Bible” helped us navigate and her restaurant recommendations were spot on. O’ Dias was our favorite! The best steak we have ever had and so cheap! The pool was a welcome relief from the heat. By the pool Ellen shared her story of how she ended up in Portugal, which is truly amazing. She is an incredible lady. Our stay from start to finish was wonderful and we would definitely stay again.

Amazing Holiday

We would definitely recommend Treetops for any couples looking to get away from it all and enjoy amazing scenery, friendly people and fantastic food and wine. The cottage is beautiful and a great deal of thought has been put into making it comfortable for guests. It is very well equipped for a self catering holiday. The owner is friendly and helpful but also respects your privacy. The fresh bantam eggs, homemade honey, strawberries and local wine were greatly appreciated. The insider tips the owner has written in the 'green bible' are fantastic. It saved us a great deal of time searching for places to eat etc. We ate in 3 of the places recommended in the 'green bible' and every meal was fantastic. The owner's pets are just like herself . . . amazingly friendly but also discrete.

Peaceful, rural idyll.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Treetops, thank you Ellen for all your help, you were a great hostess! Raffa, the friendly dog, and the two cats also made us very welcome. It is a beautiful setting on the wood-covered hillside (welcome shade when the sun is hot) and the pool is great to cool down in. It is a good area for walking, especially the Serra da Arga not far away. we were lucky to have some cooler, cloudy weather, as well as hot sunshine. The local beaches are beautiful and clean.

Idyllic getaway

This lovely property is in a beautiful setting among mature trees ideal for relaxing in the shade on very hot days and on the patio for the sun worshippers. Everything was as described if not better and our host, Ellen, could not have been more helpful. A wonderful getaway from a busy life but within easy reach of so many delightful places of interest. Ellen has friendly animals who really made Tree Tops a home from home. We could not fault it and would love to return in the not too distant future. Wonderful.

Peace and quiet

The property is in a beautiful peaceful location in super unspoilt countryside. Internally it is well equipped with everything a couple need and externally there is plenty of areas to sit and relax. Wonderful walks locally and the excellent beaches are 40mins away. Ellen and her dog Rafa are good hosts and you are made to feel very welcome - thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic place to stay in an idyllic location

Ellen’s treetop cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Nestled amongst the hillside overlooking Covas, we found it to be wonderfully peaceful and the perfect escape from city life. It had everything we needed for our stay and really did feel like a home-from-home. With plenty of beautiful towns and villages, just a short drive away, we were never bored once during our stay! Whilst we weren’t blessed with perfect weather, we did manage to squeeze in a visit to a local beach and it was certainly worth the trip after we were met my golden sands overlooking the ocean. We couldn’t fault Ellen as a host, her green guest book came almost everywhere with us and we took it upon ourselves to tick off as many things as we could during our week-long stay. Plus we couldn’t go without mentioning Ellen’s gorgeous and friendly dog, Rafa, who greeted us on the terrace each day with a wagging tail. I would highly recommend this lovely accommodation to anyone wishing to visit northern Portugal and all the delights it has to offer.

Topvakantie in Tree Top Cottage

We verbleven 11 dagen in mei (15-25/5/2018) op deze toplocatie. Van onze 5 vakanties in Portugal, van zuid tot noord, was dit veruit de beste. Schitterende ligging, summum van rust, privacy, maar ook prima uitvalsbasis voor korte trips naar de kust of historische locaties: Ponte de Lima, Valença, Caminha, Santa Tegra (Spanje), Viana do Castelo (Het in een zijstraatje gelegen visrestaurantje "Portas da Ribeira" is een aanrader, maar ook de lunch in de "Iate Clube")... Of een fikse wandeling in het nabije natuurgebied Serra de Arga. Prachtig weer ook, of hadden wij gewoon veel geluk met enkel dat beetje regen de laatste avond? In en rond de cottage is alles aanwezig voor een perfecte vakantie: zon & schaduw, een heerlijk wilde tuin, een goed bed, ruime keuken (als je tenminste zelf wil koken met zoveel spotgoedkope restaurantjes in de buurt). Wij konden ook bijzonder de details appreciëren: de aanwezigheid van zout, peper, basiskruiden, olijfolie & azijn, verse eitjes "van het huis", fles rood & wit, (oplos)koffie, keukenrol, enz. Ellen was een zeer behulpzame, taalvaardige en vriendelijke gastvrouw. Luis de stille kracht op de achtergrond, en de hond Rafa alom discreet aanwezig. Een plaats om zeker nog terug te keren, en dat willen wij graag nog eens doen, in de toekomst in de herfst of zo. Er is nog veel te zien, te doen en te rusten…
