We had a really nice time! We did not have a chance to meet Joao but his mother tried to explain the basics to us. Because the house is on the top floor there are some low ceilings, but the view is stunning. We were here in March so it was around 12- 19 degrees. It gets nice and warm (too warm?) in the 'bedroom' but cold in the living area when the non-central heating is not put on yet. Everything was clean, nice towels and even some snacks and drinks in the fridge. I'd recommend it!
