Isaque Viana
AltaVista :: LivingRoom transportation offer on the way from santiago to AltaVista :: CountryHouse. AltaVista is high in the hills in the tiny traditional village of Carreiras, way off the beaten track but conveniently close to the beautiful historic town of Ponte de Lima. The house is a mix of ancient and contemporary, with plenty of traditional character from the past sympathetically updated with modern comforts. Its rural setting offers calm and the abundant pleasures of unspoiled nature, with walks through the surrounding meadows and hillsides, and spectacular views as far as Braga 30km to the south. The meadows around the house are grazed by sheep, goats, and rabbits, the sound of running water from mountain springs is everywhere, and the skies are full of curlews, partridges, hoopoes, swallows, jays, buzzards and kites. Just a few steps from the door, you are into tranquil countryside where you can leave your day-to-day cares behind.
Hello My name is Isaac Viana, living in a village in northern Portugal, located in Ponte de Lima, an enchanted village, my village is one of the largest of the board and some interesting stories, where they live simple and hard work people, always friendly and affable, ready to help and always with a smile on his face. I'm grew up in this good environment. I graduated in Civil Engineering and studied and lived in the port, I love to live and learn new things, I like traveling, listening to music, going to the theater, the cinema and I visit compel certain art galleries, to see exhibitions, like walking and greatly appreciate the architecture, I like to talk, to listen to stories, enjoy reading and also writing. I do not want too much of one thing, but want some of the good things in life. I like to welcome friends (because the word customers in this project does not exist) who comes to see me and I did everything in this house so that they can make the most of your holiday and have a different and good experience.
The place is on top of a hill, there are 9 houses, mostly inhabited during the year, as some are just vacation home, is very quiet and picturesque, with amazing views and more than 45 km, something amazing even. You can see the animate walking down the street, the traffic is very very little and can always enjoy a walk through the fields or the lot, see and hear the water brooks, you will feel more relaxed at the end. I hope someday to get it and show all this. greetings.
