Worst surprise (and reason for the not so good feedback) first: There is a security camera with motion detector in the main room. Neither Diogo nor Patricia told us about it. Might be part of the alarm system, might also be interesting for the host to see what the guests do. We found that extremely ugly, of course I immediately covered the lens. If you book the cottage, bring a spare sock, it will do the trick.
Else, everything was fine. Really nice scenery. Without a car you won´t get far.
