“Excellent location in the heart of Parque Natural do Litoral Norte. It is situated exactly between the side overlooking Esposende and the side overlooking the ocean. If you walk to the very tip of the park (north), you will find a path that leads to the beach, where you can see dozens of kitesurfers! - Simon, FR”

“The bungalow is located in the countryside, and the beautiful sandy beach is just a few minutes walk away. Since the bungalow is located right next to a hotel, we initially thought of hotel-like accommodation. In fact, it is a charming, private holiday accommodation – which ultimately turned out to be very pleasant. - Dennis, CH”

“We spent 2 fantastic weeks in August with our 2 kids. FeelViana is situated in the dunes, with a wooden path leading to a large, windy bay. Chic design hotel but no show-off, zen atmosphere with families and couples all there for watersports. We were able to surf or kitesurf every day; there are always waves or wind. - Arnaud, FR”
