Rustic. Remote. Beautiful. Central Location
Our family of six stayed in this lovely 300 year old home. When we arrived, the owners had a special cake with a cordial sauce waiting for us. Delicious and lovely! The property is dotted with orange and lemon trees, and the owners let us eat from them. What a wonderful way to wake up having fresh, sweet oranges! There are two outdoor eating spaces. In the morning we'd eat at one area, and in the evening at the other area. Both presented beautiful views! The home is fitted with modern amenities such as two bathrooms, a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, laundry machine, and utensils for cooking and eating. The only downside was there were no clotheslines, so we had to drape our laundry on chairs outside. Not a big deal. The bedrooms, located on the third floor, were lovely and old fashioned. Around us were crumbling structures which we found picturesque and quaint. We are campers, so we loved the remote location, though it's centrally located, so not too far from Lisbon in the south or Porto in the north. We were able to travel everyday to some city and return home late in the evening for a cozy dinner. Our Verizon phones did not work in this country so we couldn't call to let them know we were arriving late. Fortunately, the car rental place let me use their phone. Pedro waited patiently for us at the market until we arrived to take us to the home. He then showed up the day we were leaving to pick up our keys. Surprisingly it all worked out! If you're looking for a true Portugal experience, this home provides that. We would all stay here again
