A beautiful oasis in the middle of a small city. Paula and her husband were very friendly and helpful. The location was great. One night we went into Lisbon and spent a day enjoying the ATP mens tennis nearby in Estoril. Shopping was close. The gardens were beautiful. Such a large yard! Great outdoor dining area with a table and chairs. In the summer the pool is open. There is a rooster and hen in the back that were entertaining. It was unseasonably cool and windy during our stay so inside the house was pretty cold at night but they provided us with a heater which helped. No clothes dryer but plenty of racks to hang clothes on. The barbecue needs charcoal to operate so we didn’t barbecue at all as it takes much longer than the gas barbecues we’re used to in North America.
