A traditional granite BBQ for proper Portuguese grilling
At Alojamento Rio Neiva, summer afternoons revolve around the traditional granite barbecue, set right beside the pool. It's the classic stone BBQ built for a generous bed of charcoal, giving that real smoky flavour to grilled sardines, ribs, chicken and pork steaks. Light the fire mid-afternoon, open a bottle of local Vinho Verde and let the get-together roll on into the evening.
Because you rent the entire house, the barbecue is yours alone — no sharing the space with strangers. There's plenty of room around the table to gather family or friends while the kids splash in the pool and the food cooks to perfection. The fully equipped kitchen is just a few steps away, so it's easy to grab serving dishes, season a marinade or put together the salads to go with it.
A private pool and garden for your group only
The outdoor pool is private and exclusive to your booking, surrounded by a generous garden that invites you to lay out a towel, lunch in the shade or simply listen to the countryside beside the Rio Neiva. It's the perfect setting for a full day outdoors: a morning swim, a grilled lunch at noon and a nap in the sun lounger afterwards.
- Private outdoor pool just for your group, with no neighbours or shared time slots.
- Private garden with space for al fresco meals next to the BBQ.
- Large open-plan lounge with a ping-pong table, so the fun continues even if the weather turns.
- Pet-friendly, with free Wi-Fi and free parking right at the door.

The whole house, sleeping up to 8, made for group living
The house has 4 bedrooms and sleeps up to 8, with 3 bathrooms (two of them adapted for reduced mobility) — ideal for bringing together the extended family or a group of friends with no one left out. The open-plan lounge flows naturally into the outdoor area, so the group stays together between the pool, the barbecue and the ping-pong table.
We're in Tregosa, Barcelos, in the heart of the Minho, between Viana do Castelo and Braga. After a day of grilling it's well worth exploring: Barcelos town centre is about 15 minutes away, the beaches of Esposende and Ofir 20 minutes, Viana do Castelo and the Santa Luzia hilltop 25 minutes, and Braga with its Bom Jesus 30 minutes. Ponte de Lima is 30 minutes and the Gerês about an hour — find more ideas on our blog.
