We visited Maria's annex in August and we really enjoyed our stay. Albarraque is a quiet village, but situated centrally for day trips to the beach and Lisboa. The annex is very cosy, with nice furniture and good kitchen-attributes (we only missed a sink in the kitchen area) for making your own breakfast, coffee, tea etc. The WiFi didn't work, unfortunately, so we had to read our books ;-)The garden is lovely as well, sunny, with lots of spots to sit and relax and cuddle with the two dogs. Maria was a good host, we had good contact with her before our arrival and during the time of our stay and she made us feel at home. And she can cook deliciously!
