Words fail me for this review. This lovingly restored village is the absolute perfect retreat for anyone looking to recharge their mental batteries by being overwhelmed by the beauty of the countryside, the quiet wisdom of all the animals who live in the town (cats, sheep, goats, donkeys, a pig, geese, chickens, etc), and above all else, the gentle and gracious hosting of Diogo and Ana. Warm bread was hung on our door each morning, the sun set into the valley in front of our door in the afternoon, and in between, we relaxed, hiked, visited nearby towns, and healed. It was relaxing, it was invigorating, and it was truly, TRULY special. You can use this as a home base to discover towns such as Mafra and Sintra, and you can spend all of your time in and around the village, just marvelling at how peaceful it is. A good place to read, write, eat good food (Diogo and Ana can even arrange for a delicious homemade dinner to be brought to your door every evening), visit the local winery down the hill that grows a grape not found anywhere else on this planet, and marvel at a slice of Portugal that can easily be mistaken for heaven.
