  • “Top quality! Villa Isobel stayed in our heart! We recommend! Top quality, they deserved a 20. The friendliness with which we were greeted by Isobel and Leo, beyond words, always very helpful. Isobel cooks wonderfully well. The room, in addition to a stunning view, was spacious and was in a mix of modern and old house type from that area. View from the pool to the city of Braga is another plus point. Thankful for their affection for us”
