The house is in a large plot with loads of tranquility and a lot of nice trees; it really has this nice calm atmosphere of being secluded in the woods (like the pictures suggest), walk around and you can see the sea as well as the mafra palace, very nice indeed! The property entrance is on an N-road giving a bit of traffic during the day, which you can hear, although the house itself is far enough from that road even to see it, being in the large beautiful property; but it makes driving in and out a bit sketchy. At night it is really quiet.
Normally there are little mosquitoes in this area but with a heat wave as we had, they were plenty; Claudia made gr8 effort helping us with nets, ensuring our sleep!!
