This is one true hidden gem one might find on Airbnb. The place alone is amazing. It is so authentic, particular and welcoming that it made us feel special and most welcomed! Every object in that house had its own history, esthetics, and it truly was unique experience to spend our vacation there. We loved it. Rodrigo is a beautiful, warm soul that showed nothing but kindness to us. He gave us a lot of valuable tips and informations what to see, where to go... He is pure gold.
The house alone is unique - it feels like you are visiting your grandmother's house filled with memorabilia of time past. Have you ever read "hundred years of solitude" by Marquez? It has that vibe. It is truly a prefect getaway spot for artists, poets, empaths and yoga entusiasts, but also families, surfers, nature lovers and vegans/ vegetarians. Or anyone who just needs a bit of a break from the busy world. It is also just a short walk away from one of the most beautiful beaches - Magoito beach. It is breathtaking. Sintra and Lisbon are just a short drive away and we have explored those places during our stay. We had one big bedroom, huge living room, a terrace, kitchen, and free parking in front of the house. We really didn't want to leave this place. My son loved the dogs that were there and played with them on occasion. They were friendly.
What you need to know is that this house is old and can't be commapred to modern apartments, but it has all there needs to be, and more - fancy bathroom, vintage decor, antique furniture. Kind and thoughtful people - that is most important. It has its own charm and character, so you need to be prepared for a bit of unusual.
We will be definetly back. There is just too much quality and potential in this place!
You will find it easily with Goole maps, or instructions provided by host. There is a vegan/ vegiterian restaurant right in front of the house and several shops and farmacy right next to it. You can enjoy esquisite cusine in restorants near by and their typical Portuguese pastries are just incredible. Buses and other means of transportation are available, but best experience you will have if you rent a bike. We fell in love in this house. We highly recommend it and it's host!!
