The location is fairly remote and this should be made known to guests, the fact that the nearest restaurant or supermarket is 15 mins walk is important, especially as there was no 'welcome' basket and we had to go quickly to get essential supplies.
The images used on the website do not accurately reflect the true state of the facility.
For example, the large dining table on the website is not actually in the room, there is another covered table there.
The amenities are poor in that there is limited recreational furniture in the garden (without cushions) and there are no sunbeds for lounging.
There were insufficient towels available for our group and sparse pillows in the bed.
The rooms were clean and the bathrooms more than adequate.
Tiago would have been aware of the building work ongoing in the adjacent properties, yet did not inform us of this in advance, offer alternative accommodation or a refund.
The noise form the builders was incessant, with drilling, cutting and mixing work ongoing throughout our time in the house. This meant we could not enjoy the garden at all and often had to leave the house for some peace and quiet.
This was especially obvious when the builders were 'spraying' solvent onto tiles - the builders had face protection, but we did not and had to cut short our lunch, retire to the house and close all doors.
I should state that all of the builders were friendly and kind.
Tiago and Fernanda did not provide a courtesy call during our stay. We did have some issues with a waste leakage from one of the toilets that we tried to report and the response was tardy, with no attempt to repair the damage.
The general layout of the house is fine, but as stated above some minor additions to the garden and improved communication with guests would help immensely.
