My husband, three children, mum and sister holidayed at Maria's place and had a great time. The house is very spacious and well designed and also recently refurbished so it was very comfortable. It has a large walled in private patio and a pool which is also walled in and located adjacent to but separate from the house so it is very safe for small children. The house is located on a traditional Portugese farm which is very pretty. It is very close to a large range of good beaches and also the motorway which is handy for day trips. But the location is very quiet and I never heard any noise from the road during her stay. Maria and her parents were very helpful and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend Maria's house.
