The house was in a beautiful part of the countryside. We got great food at the local grocery store and ate at the house. The house was very comfortable for our group of 8 people. The kids loved the pool. The location was close to some great spots, we drove a short drive to the beach with the ocean water pool for sunset one night. We also visited the Pena Palace and the National Palace and both were not too far from the house for us to do all of that in a few days. We only stayed for 2 nights, but enjoyed it thoroughly.
