This place could have been great. It’s a nice location close to Caiscais and Estoril, with a bus to Sintra and reasonably easy access to Lisbon. However, I’ve never felt less welcome anywhere ever. The family share the kitchen with the guests but they act as if you have done something wrong by existing around them. We hardly got a hello out of any of them and they never initiated any type of contact. We noticed it was the same for other guests. The communal areas could be nice (although quite dusty and greasy) but the environment felt too hostile to do anything but hide in one’s room which everyone did. There were signs everywhere saying what you couldn’t do (No entry door, no food in rooms, no noise after 10 etc.. ). But no positive notes such as: help yourself to spices and coffee (which seemed to be the case but we weren’t sure). No offers of recommendations apart from a tiny table with some flyers. There was also a scary dog that wouldn’t stop following you and bark every time you left the house. We were barely greeted as we walked in and the place was difficult to find behind a high fence. In the communication beforehand there was no offer to meet us outside, call if needed or specific instructions. A kind stranger helped us find the place and help carrying our bags but he wasn’t greeted either. My partner and I have stayed in loads of accommodations and we’re not picky, I’ve never left such a negative review before but this time I feel I had to.
