We stayed in the house for only one night on our way from Lisbon to Porto. It's a very spacious house with plenty of room for our group of 7 people. It was a foggy day when we were there, and we didn't do much else than cook, sleep, and then drive on, so can't say much about the area. The master bedroom upstairs was very nice and with a good view. The ones downstairs were alright, but got very humid during the night (I found that to be a general thing in the country side in Portugal though).
The swimming pool is quite small and is more like a large portable swimming pool.
