We had a wonderful stay at Lionel’s place. He is great with communication and very very helpful.
The place is on his parents property but this wasn’t an issue, it was a perk for us because we stayed for so long they helped with shopping and laundry which was very much appreciated. His parents are lovely people.
It is out of town but actually the walk was good to get your steps up, there are also bicycles to borrow too.
Great views from the garden.
If you are getting the bus from Lisbon ask to get off at pinhal frades-r vale (5.90euros one way)- this bus stop is right near the house.
Easy access to bus to and from Lisbon is a perk.
