We had an amazing reception. The owners were extraordinarily friendly and available and demonstrated care for us. The neighbors were very friendly as well. The flat was very clean and comfortable. My family was very pleased.
The location of the flat in the town is the best: everything is near, the town is the most lovely and safe. The Palace invites people to come for a walk around the town during the night. My family was delighted. This is a flat that I consider coming back some day.
Mafra is an unique place in the world: the best Portuguese food and pastry of the highest standard is easily found in restaurants and shops; the groceries in the shops are local and of the best quality, the garden behind the palace is charming, the immense national Palace itself and the absolutely dazzling library worth the trip by themselves. The baroque basilica with 6 organs and the two tower bells to play music mark the maximum exponent of the baroque. This is a unique basilica in the whole world. I have finally accomplished my dream of listening to the 6 organs playing at the same time in a musical show in the basilica. The national woods "Tapada de Mafra", the wineries of the region, the abundance of sea beaches along the coast, etc. What a wonderful part of Portugal!
Thank you very much!
