Rui's place is amazing, it was built in 1880 and has hardly lost any of its charm. The room is basic and beautiful, the old ladies drawing room. Rui is thoughtful and leaves out information on local attractions, there are also many books on Portuguese history, art and architecture. Please do not expect Rui's place to have all of the modern trappings of a hotel, it's a historical landmark, family home and art studio.
